Need for Speed Heat Deluxe Edition Steam Account
Need for Speed Heat is a game developed by Ghost Games, and released by Electronic Arts on November 8, 2019. It is the twenty-fourth installment of the NFS series. The game is set in a fictional city in Miami, where you can participate in both sanctioned and illegal races to increase your reputation, earn money and unlock new items to customize your vehicle. The title allows you to tune the cars you drive in great detail, allowing you to change both the performance and appearance of your vehicle, including even the tint of the windshield and the sound of the exhaust.
Storyline
The plot of the game takes place in the fictional Palm City. This time, there is a more serious and grounded in realism story, and it aims to be a positive shock for both fans of the series and newcomers who have not played any NFS game before. It focuses on street racing and depicts the events that are often associated with such games. On a side note, it is worth mentioning that you will be able to race as one of twelve customizable avatars.
Gameplay
Need for Speed Heat is a racing arcade game that gives you access to a huge, open world to explore and race in. The game is set in the fictional Palm City area, inspired by sunny Miami. NFS Heat focuses on fast and dynamic gameplay, sacrificing some realism in exchange for more fun and exciting gameplay. As such, colliding with other objects even at high speeds has little consequence except for losing speed, although it's worth mentioning that the game includes a damage system - if your car takes too much damage then, it won't go any further.
Two different racing modes - day and night
NFS Heat doesn't have a day and night cycle, but instead lets you choose whether you want to race during the day or night - the gameplay changes significantly depending on your choice. Speedhunters Showdown day races are sanctioned and take place on designated tracks. You must pay an entry fee to participate in them using in-game currency, which you can later spend on buying parts and pieces for both your car and avatar.
However, the night has its own rules. Neon lights, illegal street practices, free rides, high stakes and adrenaline - Palm City really shines after dark. Driving at night rewards you with reputation points. Collect enough of them and you'll unlock new customization items that you can spend your hard-earned cash on.
Heat mechanics and the return of the police
The police return to the open world of the Need For Speed series and behave differently depending on the time of day. During the day they will chase you and fine you, but as night falls they become much more fierce and persistent, becoming your biggest threat and a challenge to overcome. Instead of fining you, they will immediately try to stop you at any cost, even if it means completely destroying your car.
Car in NFS Heat
This isn't something you want, especially considering the new Heat mechanic that increases the desired level when you defy law enforcement and makes the police even more aggressive. It's a risk and reward mechanic - while a higher Heat level makes it harder for the police to escape, it also increases the multiplier of reputation points you earn. It's up to you whether you want to risk getting caught and losing all your points, or go straight to the garage to accumulate them.
