Just likeGran Turismo 7andForza Motorsport 4, Grid Legends strikes a balance between a serious simulation experience andfun and accessiblearcade mechanics for its gameplay that even newcomers to the series while introducing a whole slew ofnew racing tracks and race types, and an innovativehop-in multiplayersystem.
Grid is one of the most popular racing game franchises in the past few years, with its first release called Race Driver: Grid back in 2008. The series has always strived to offer arealistic motorsport simulationexperience for fans and enthusiasts. It wasn't until the 2019 reboot with Grid that the franchise started to shake things up with the introduction ofan actual storylineandmovie-like cutscenes.
Here then comes Grid Legends, looking to build upon the foundation of its predecessor. Its main campaign,Driven to Gloryis presented in a unique way with itsdocumentary-style cutscenes. In it, you join the struggling Seneca racing team as you take on long-time rivals Ravenwest and their star driver,Nathan McKane. All of this makes you feel more invested in the characters and their stories.
TheNemesis Systemmakes its return in Grid Legends, wherein you develop rivalries with opponents. Everything is complemented bymore than 130 tracks and 100 vehiclesas you take on events like drift, circuit, and even off-road races. One area that did not receive much attention, if at all, is the driving experience. Itplays just like its predecessor, with all the good and bad.
While the addition of more tracks, vehicles, and race types is always appreciated, the base experience did not change much from the 2019 reboot. The documentary-style storyadds some tension and dramato the rivalry, but the driving experience has remained virtually the same—more could have been done. Nevertheless, it's still a good sequel and entry point for newcomers to the series.
