Yeah, I can live with that. Progression is pretty slow… In other Burnout games you’d get unlocks like every race. Here you need to upgrade your license and it quickly becomes something like “win 14 more events (races and the like) to unlock one new car.”
Finding cars to unlock out in the wild is super fun though. If you perform a takedown on certain cars you get them delivered to your junkyard and can drive them yourself. I find that a really cool mechanic and the cars in question aren’t hard to find. You just look for someone driving erratically and fast and you go and smash them up.
So yes, one of the most important but maybe not one of the best games of its kind. I’m still enjoying it though
