Fast & Furious: Crossroads. Most disappointing video games of 2020

Release Date: August 2020
Genre: Action car game
Platforms: PC, PS4, XOne

What's a good plate with nothing on it? When nearly the entire budget is spent on high-profile license and an ad campaign that features Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez appearing at the Game Awards, it's not even enough to hire Slightly Mad (Need for Speed: Shift, Project CARS series).

Fast & Furious: Crossroads seems to yell at every point that it's really a budget game. The visuals let you reminisce about the golden days of the PlayStation 3's beginnings, while a mere four-hour story campaign completely wastes the opportunity to make interesting use of Vin, Michelle and a few other stars. The mechanics have been so trivialized that winning doesn't bring even an ounce of satisfaction – regardless of whether you're looking for realism or pure burnout fun. The project was clearly a cash grab aimed at the most loyal fans of the popular brand, and Slightly Mad Studios will probably quickly want to forget that they ever had anything to do with it.

He first worked as a co-worker at GRYOnline.pl. In 2023 he became the head of the Paid Products department. He has been creating articles about games for over twenty years. He started with amateur websites, which he coded himself in HTML, then he moved on to increasingly larger portals. A computer engineer, but he was always more drawn to writing than programming, and he decided to tie his future with the former. In games, he primarily looks for stories, emotions, and immersion that no other medium can provide - hence, among his favorite titles, are games focusing on narration. Believes that NieR: Automata is the best game ever made.
