I have zero access to the internet on my PS4, and I have the chance to get a Payback disc.

Is the offline at least decent? I expect to have a good amount of different races, good arcade driving and good AI

EDIT: also replayability

    I found it frustrating by NFS standards (grew up with Underground 2, Most Wanted, etc.).

    The story is lame as it is poorly written and has no character development. Races are OK except drag (because there are sprint races thrown in it but you carve corners with your drag-prepped rides). Vehicles, when bought, are tired to one type of race and are upgraded (performance wise) via a system that is basically lootboxy and make no mechanical sense. Be ready to buy a turbo that improves your braking, for instance.

    Quite frankly, for a modern NFS arcade experience, you’re better off with Heat.

    I played most of the recent ones. Honestly all of them are pretty much the same. Bland story, cringe dialogue etc. Physics change slightly between them still arcadish but not exactly fun either. NFS games lost their identity honestly. It’s like everything else EA makes nowadays, just a clone of the previous game with a graphic upgrade and more loot boxes.
