GRID Legends

"This isn&s;t entirely surprising, given the amount of leeway (and subsequent lack of punishment) given when entering a corner hard under brakes, or applying full throttle at the apex of said corner."

"GRID Legends absolutely nails its role as a tried and true "simcade" experience thanks to well-balanced gameplay mechanics, a healthy variety of vehicle types and track designs and just an overall fun feel. It&s;s easily one of the most well-built …"

"Faultless presentation, an absolute raft of superb vehicles across 9 categories, 130 brilliantly rendered circuits in 22 international locations and a 6 hour story mode alongside a huge career and promising online play. But there&s;s nothing here that hasn&s;t been …"

"GRID Legends does its job but nothing more. More than ever, it is an arcade experience that promises a lot and delivers some of it, and the result is a franchise that still hasn&s;t found the quality leap it needs."

"&s;GRID Legends&s; is a damn fun simcade racing game."

"GRID Legends is a great game. GRID Legends for Meta Quest is not. I&s;m impressed that Codemasters managed to cram a full console racing game into a VR headset, but the compromises required to do so are too many. For …"

"Grid Legends doesn&s;t do anything particularly wrong, but doesn&s;t do anything particularly interesting either. Its racing gameplay is typically solid, as is the Codemasters way, but this studio has pushed the limits of the genre far higher in the past …"

"GRID Legends is a wonderful racer that dials down the simulation elements of other racers, making it accessible to everyone. It features a fair amount of modes and some stunning visuals, as well as a wide range of cars to …"

"Codemasters has put a good amount of thought into reinventing the GRID experience."

"GRID Legends goes on the most arcade soul of Codemasters by focusing on quantity and fun. Driven to Glory, the story mode, is quite a disaster and the Career progression is a bit chaotic, but the game has so much …"

"‎Codemasters gives us another great racing arcade, which incorporates story mode, nemesis system and a huge variety of tests. With a very fine control, and a solid technical section, which stands out for the recreation of the cars, the physics …"

"On a platform that&s;s fundamentally starved of more serious racers, GRID Legends is a great addition to the Switch 2&s;s library. It absolutely deserves reassessment in 2026, and within this new context, with a drama-filled storyline and blockbuster presentation, it …"

"The Driven to Glory campaign is the big push, but is actually only a thin layer of what this package offers overall. GRID Legends has a solid career mode, with a ton of cool activities and customization options. The content …"

"Grid Legends is a fun driving experience for fans, but it&s;s pretty far from what Grid has always been for long time virtual drivers and has some ideas that needed a better refinement. Despite this, the game is enjoyable and …"

"GRID Legends misses a few opportunities to be truly excellent, but still exceeds the limitations of its predecessor to become arguably the best GRID game yet."

"Grid Legends is a great game that was simply released at the wrong time. PlayStation owners are more likely to jump on Gran Turismo 7, and Xbox owners are most likely still satisfied with Forza Horizon 5. It is hard …"

"A tip of the hat to Codemasters for trying something new with the Story Mode. While it doesn’t enhance the game in the way intended, it does make for a useful tour of the game’s offerings. Grid Legends is a …"

"Grid Legends finds its niche alongside Forza Horizon and Gran Turismo, offering track-based thrills for all skill levels."

"Grid Legends is a sure step up from Grid 2019 – and its new story mode that looks all the way back to 2002&s;s TOCA Race Driver is a cute and effective flex for a racing series with such history …"

"A new and likeable story mode caps a decent if not dazzling celebration of 25 years of Codies&s; racing series."

"Grid Legends is an exciting and inviting arcade racing romp, but it doesn&s;t outpace the competition in any particular way. The game&s;s new story mode is more cringey than captivating and a middling amount of content may eventually make you …"

"Grid Legends is a more than capable racer but not quite up to par with Codemasters&s; previous games."

"If GRID Legends will probably not mark the memories of its players, it still allows to have fun thanks to its varied races."

"GRID Legends is a solid new entry in Codemasters&s; racing franchise. It features the same excellent gameplay you&s;ve come to expect from the developer, with some nice adaptive trigger implementation in the PS5&s;s DualSense. The game&s;s main draw - the …"

"GRID Legends is a mismatched racing game with a surprising story mode and features. The gameplay is an awkward mix of simulator and arcade that doesn’t lend itself to either’s strengths, and with puzzling direction will likely alienate fans of …"

"GRID Legends is a racing game that provides some cool elements to the formula but doesn’t do enough to stand out in a saturated market. The amazing graphics and solid controls are a plus, but if players aren’t racing game …"

"If you can make peace with a lack of multiplayer outside of online leaderboards, alongside the fact that digital triggers aren&s;t ideal if you&s;re after precision throttle control (grab a GameCube NSO pad to swerve this issue), Grid Legends on …"

"Codemasters racing thrives on light and shadow. To attract the largest number of players, GRID Legends seems to have lost in part the common thread that had characterized the very good reboot in 2019. The trumpeted story mode "Driven to …"

"While DIRT 5 and F1 2021 remain Codemasters&s; best racing games to date, GRID Legends runs a very close second, with an enjoyably daft Story mode, absorbing Career, and a wealth of options to fiddle with. Driven to Glory, indeed."

"GRID Legends is a lot of fun overall. Its story mode is enjoyable pulp drama while the minute-to-minute racing is genuinely exhilarating. It may feel a little limited overall for those who want a deep racing experience, but players who …"

"Grid Legends is one of the cheesiest games I&s;ve ever played, thanks to its Drive to Glory story mode. Putting that to one side, there is a good racing game here with an excellent AI system (that can go a …"

"Grid Legends&s; Driven to Glory story misses more than it hits, but this is an otherwise solid, if unambitious, racing game."

"It doesn&s;t reinvent the wheel by any stretch, but there&s;s no denying that on the track GRID Legends is a fun time."
