Aug 4, 2020Gameplay was a strength of NASCAR Heat 4, and that has been augmented for NH5. The play is so much fun, it helps to compensate for some of the presentation issues, and what I’d describe as a lack of creativity in other areas. Those issues prevent the game from being great. That said, I’d still consider it the strongest release in the series’ history, and a solid get for NASCAR and racing fans.

Jul 14, 2020NASCAR Heat 5's racing remains compelling and customisable. The visuals aren't perfect but they've retained a wonderful style and character. It's a shame the new additions like testing sessions feel so slight and career mode has stayed largely the same. Some of the technical hitches become more noticeable as time goes on but, if you're after some new NASCAR, this will suffice.

Jul 28, 2020I’ve not played the previous games in this series, but from what I can see, Heat 5 doesn’t offer much more than Heat 4. NASCAR Racing is not for everyone, and compared to other sim racers out there, this is easily the tamest of them all. The game does nothing badly, but neither does it excel at anything. It’s truly a middle of the road racing sim. Hardcore fans are the only ones that will want to suit up for this iteration.

Jul 29, 2020NASCAR Heat 5 is a step backward for the series, but still delivers some tense and rewarding racing.

Jul 20, 2020Including all of the NASCAR license must be a mammoth task, and while Heat 5 is an improvement over its forbearers, the overall feeling of the game is that of a vacuous slog. With no obvious USP other than the volume of cars and tracks, or magic new features that other racing games should take inspiration from, NASCAR Heat 5 is a perfunctory depiction that’s enjoyable in small doses but runs out of tyres once you get past the initial stages.

Jul 23, 2020In the exhaust fumes of recent and quite brilliant F1 2020, NASCAR Heat 5 is left biting a bitter dust. The game simply lacks any thrill and excitement of its namesake, not to mention its presentation and overall vibes that cry about a budget title. Alas, it’s not such but sold at fifty bucks. I guess if you are truly and desperately in a need of a stock car racing fix, NASCAR Heat 5 could suffice as an emergency measure. Just wait for the sale and you will be much happier with your purchase.

Aug 16, 2020While it may be the same game, it still OK. Maybe it would have did better, this game will be good.
