Pros
- Adds more content to an already fantastic game.
- Integrates well without becoming cumbersome.
- The artwork is fantastic.
- Japan map has specific rules that work well with the weather and road conditions module.
Cons
- There is not a lot of content for the price.
- The name 'Heavy Rain' is misleading as only one map features rain prominently.
- Legend cards are not updated, forcing players to use orange if they want to include all legends in solo play.
- The new maps have 12 starting spots when the base game maps only go up to 8, creating a potential imbalance or unused space for some scenarios.
- Some design decisions feel like cost-saving measures.
Thematic elements
- Racing expansion
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Aggressive Legends rule — Legends can cross an additional corner if they start their movement in a spot with specific road signs, preventing them from getting bottlenecked.
- Chicanes — Two back-to-back corners that only come into play if the weather and road conditions module is used.
- Flooded spaces — Spaces around corners that cost an extra heat to shift down gears.
- New score pack symbol — A new symbol allows players to look through their discard pile and remove heat cards.

- I'm slightly disappointed in the expansion.
- It almost feels a little bit like because they this heat has been out for so long that it's like okay it almost feels like this expansion is like kind of how DLC is where hey we could have made one bigger expansion you know come with four more new maps.
- I feel like they really dro the ball a little bit on the expansion even though it's good it's good but it could have been great.

Quotes (from this video)
- They struck gold with the base game and then just phoned it in.
- So, you're buying an expansion. Granted, it's not an expensive expansion, but you're really only getting half new content.
- The way that they're running these expansions just almost feels like a cash grab.
- On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm going to give Tunnel Vision a six. I think it's slightly above average.
- But the base game of Heat still phenomenal. Um, like still a nine nine out of 10, 10 out of 10 game. It's It's amazing.
