First up, if you were expecting this to be a story heavy affair like recent Need for Speed games, think again. With Asphalt 9: Legends, the focus is squarely on racing. The objective is to win each season of races. Thankfully, you won't just be jostling for pole position in every event. From being tasked with escaping from the cops, to beating the clock for the best timing, or completing stunts galore, there's enough variety to keep you going. Throw in a steady number of unlocks such as acquiring upgrades that let you improve your car's handling and speed, blueprints to get new rides, and new events available at regular intervals, and Asphalt 9 does a fantastic job of making you feel you're making tangible progress with every session of play. It just doesn't get old, even 10 hours in — the time we spend between the soft-launch version and the final release.
