Need for Speed: Payback for PC / Windows is another installment of the Need for Speed series published by Electronic Arts. The game has been created by Ghost Games, who were also responsible for the two previous installments – 2013’s Need for Speed. The developers, however, have much bigger experience in creating racing games, since the studio is mostly comprised of game developers formerly working for Criterion – a studio best known for the Burnout series. An important thing about Payback is that the game has been created in cooperation with the video gaming society, the same way as it has been with the previous Need for Speed installment.

Plot

In Need for Speed: Payback, one gets to learn about the adventures of three characters – Tyler, Mac and Jess. Previously, their crew had a fourth member, who betrayed the rest and took everything away from them. In order to take their revenge, the crew has to face the Familia cartel, which has connections nearly everywhere, including the police force. This means, that the three betrayed friends can count only on themselves.
