GRID Legends delivers high-speed racing and a cinematic story mode, combining adrenaline-fueled gameplay with an engaging narrative. It appeals to casual players and racing enthusiasts through diverse race types, vehicles, and accessible yet challenging mechanics that keep the racing experience fresh and exciting. Its vibrant visuals, dynamic environments, and satisfying progression system enhance the gameplay experience.

GRID Legends offers an immersive Driven to Glory story mode and extensive customization, blending arcade fun with authentic racing. It delivers an exciting start, but maintaining long-term player engagement depends on how well its gameplay depth and variety hold up beyond the initial thrill.

Exciting races meet mixed execution

GRID Legends delivers an exhilarating racing experience with tight controls and varied race formats. Players can enjoy everything from high-speed circuits to demolition-style events. The AI drivers, equipped with the returning Nemesis system, add unpredictability to races, making each event feel unique. However, some players may find the AI behavior inconsistent, occasionally leading to frustrating collisions that feel out of the player's control.

The Driven to Glory mode stands out with its documentary-style narrative, adding context to races and offering a fresh take on traditional racing campaigns. While it brings a unique storytelling approach, the live-action cutscenes and scripted drama can occasionally feel forced. Players focused solely on racing may find the game’s narrative interruptions somewhat distracting, despite the mode’s attempt to enhance immersion and engagement.

Visually, the game captivates with detailed car models and diverse track environments, creating an engaging racing atmosphere. Its sound design, featuring roaring engines and lively crowd noise, further heightens immersion. Although performance is generally smooth, occasional visual pop-ins and long loading times can hinder the experience. Robust customization options let players tweak vehicles and race settings, enhancing replayability and personalization.
