    Played many hours of the xbox one version and also now the PC version. I have most settings at low and medium but it runs well even on my older gpu and a decent i5. Best racing series only gets better, now on pc also. Go get this game now, simply amazing!

    When a game can take someone who isn't even remotely interested in a genre and make them a fan, you know it's a great game. This game is looks incredible and there's so much to do. Runs well on my rig, medium settings, 1920x1080, 60+ FPS: i7 4790k, Radeon R9 290, 16 GB RAM.

    I love this game. I have two GTX 1080s, so it runs perfectly for me at max settings. Although, apparently, it doesn't do SLI. Hopefully they rectify this. I'm having fun driving around faux Australia. The cars are beautiful, the tasks are fun. It's everything I wanted from this game. I should add that I haven't had any glitches at all. Maybe I'm the minority, but it's the trooph!

    It's pretty much the best racing game ever.

    Sure yeah there are some issues, but most are ironed out at this point.

    As I said, if you are a racing fan, you need this game. You will be missing out without it.

    "Take me away" to a racing game made in 2004, because that's what this feels like.

    Forza Horizon 3 has expanded on the Horizon series with a much larger open world (two times the size of the FH2 and four times the size of FH1), a large car list, CO-OP Campaign, a first for the series, wide bodykits, and overall an amazing game.

    Forza Horizon 3 has expanded on the Horizon series with a much larger open world (two times the size of the FH2 and four times the size of FH1), a large car list, CO-OP Campaign, a first for the series, wide bodykits, and overall an amazing game.

    In this edition of the Horizon series, you are the boss of the Horizon festival located out in Australia. You also have the power to recreate events into dream events with the new blueprint mode. The blueprint mode allows you change the settings of the current race you're about to join. You simply adjust the weather, time of day, what cars are to be allowed in, the amount of laps to race around in, renaming the race, etc. Bucket lists can also be created instead of changed. You simply choose a car you own, the choose one of the different modes, and then you choose the location. Simple as that.

    The car list has also been expanded since Horizon 2. Now supporting over 350 cars but however the real star of the show being wide bodykits and much more visual customization. You can even put a Liberty Walk kit on a Ferrari. I don't even know how Forza did it but they did. The handling model has improved quite a bit.

    The graphics look spectacular, great 60FPS gameplay at 900p on my GTX 770, tuning is back, a new drift mode has been implemented, also a new drone mode for video content, upgrading your festival how you'd like, more stuff to do, brighter more vivid colors, Xbox Play Anywhere Program, DMX is in the game, HDR capability, naming and creating your avatar character, Hiring friends for bringing in festival upgrades, the world is much more open, and FRIGGIN CO-OP!!

    Pros:
    Amazing graphics
    Brilliant Race Editor Mode
    Own it on the PC and get it for the Xbox One free
    Great Optimization
    Colorful
    Larger Open World
    Wide Bodykits
    Awesome Soundtrack
    Drone Mode
    Co-op Gameplay
    Improved physics

    Probably the best racing game I've played in the last 10 years - and I love my car racing.

    First off, there are sooooo many cars to choose from with an enormous amount of customising. You''ll be shaving of tenths of a second a lap if racing is your thing and you know how to tune a car. Otherwise if you're into drifting (I'm not really) you can tune your car that way and maybe join a
    Probably the best racing game I've played in the last 10 years - and I love my car racing.

    First off, there are sooooo many cars to choose from with an enormous amount of customising. You''ll be shaving of tenths of a second a lap if racing is your thing and you know how to tune a car. Otherwise if you're into drifting (I'm not really) you can tune your car that way and maybe join a drifting club online. And surprisingly, drifting is fun and fairly easy to do in this game. Although, the traffic is annoying (like GTA V) so practicing can be frustrating if you're new to it.
    The map is quite big - and shows off Australia in very accurate and stunning detail (I'm from Aus) and to be honest, it made me want to visit some of these places IRL after seeing them in game. The graphics really are quite stunning.
    And finally, the sounds of each car sound the way they're supposed to. Not some vacuum cleaner like sound (Grand Turismo).The sound of a twin turbo set-up or a V8 are very distinguished and not generic at all.

    There are however some performance issues as others have stated, however it seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. I've only had a single crash to desktop since launch and I haven't had any stuttering issues as others have reported if I turn off MSAA (as others have stated). And there are some bugs with menus not showing up ) However, this seems to be an issue that will be resolved with a later patch.

    In conclusion, I don't normally write reviews, but I felt the negative feedback is due to other people's experiences with stuttering and performance issues - which I feel confident will be addressed in a later patch, and shouldn't exclude the fact that the game is quite stunning. Considering how big the game is - I feel there should be an allowance for early day bugs. Some will accept it, some wont. Honestly though, they're nowhere near as bad as people are making them out to be, and the game ISN'T unplayable (for me anyway)

    If your finger is on the pulse, I would look at HD vids on YouTube to see for yourself how it looks and sounds.
    For those wondering: my setup is:

    i7 6800k
    16gb Ram
    2x Geforce GTX 970 SLI
    1tb Samsung SSD

    Getting about constant 50-60 FPS

    Been playing a lot of project cars 2 lately, and decided to give this a chance.
    Man am I glad I did! A lot of people are complaining about this being a bad port. I'm not sure we are playing the same game. I'm running this on high, no glitches, on a rig that is over 6 years old, with a very high and stable framrate.

    The game itself is awesome. Good graphics, a huge map with a **** of things to do, amazing enviroment, amazing car physics. Very addictive.

    For me this is a 10/10. Give it a try, and ignore the haters (most of the low scores are from people having the game crashing, which I have not experienced, not a single time, and this will be patched or has been patched already. Well spent 60 dollars (which I cant say for most of the games I've bought throughout the years).

    I am able to run this game silky smooth at 60 with every setting maxed except MSAA is 2x instead of 8x. I am removing 1 from the score because the online servers seem to be unreliable. I get kicked from online games after 5 minutes and I lose connection to the servers a few times during my sessions.

    Since I got performance out of the way, I can talk about the game itself. This game has more content and features than I would have thought could be put into a racing game. It has a massive open world, ridiculous car selection, and enough events to keep me occupied for hours. Is it worth the 60$? I would say once they iron out bugs, definitely.

    As for more meta design, such as car handling and physics, I would say this game's car handling is somewhere between project cars and GTA V. This could be tied to other factors, but I found all the cars are very drifty. It's clear to me they wanted a blend of simulator and arcade style handling, so that it was possible to race with precision but also have fun. In my opinion, I wish they had gone for a bit more realistic handling such as in Project Cars, but it doesn't detract from the amazing driving experience for me.

    This game had many technical problems at release date, but most of them are already gone. It's by now the best racing game you can get (whether you prefer arcade or simulations). The one thing that's a problem is, if you're going to play with your friends, you are going to have problems, as the game often disconnects players from groups (even during races).

    2020 review for anyone thinking about buying it now (I did so because the map appealed more to me than that of FH4, a game which I got to try and did not particularly enjoy because its map is somewhat bland:)

    I think you can get a very good idea of what this game is like through watching a few YouTube videos. If you like what you see then you will like what you play, because this game is exceptionally well-polished. (The only technical gripe I have is texture popping/draw distance, but you get used to it if you enjoy the driving itself.) It's like Test Drive Unlimited 2 but with more polish, more cars and better handling, plus a better photo mode, but less open-world freedom/exploration and believability.

    I have had zero fundamental technical issues running this on Win10 through Microsoft Store, other than two lock-ups in dozens of hours of gameplay which may have been caused by PC overheating (it's a pretty hardware-intensive game.)

    I am about 35% complete in the game and still enjoying collecting cars, taking photos of said cars in action, exploring the map and admiring the scenery, and still taking part in events which will probably only get tiring once you've exhausted the 350+-strong car list to the extent of your desires. (Making credits to buy and upgrade any car you want is relatively easy in this game.)

    EASILY the best open-world racing game I've played since the likes of TDU2 and Driver San Francisco almost ten years ago.

    I really don't think I've had this much fun in a game for a long time. The driving is immersive, the world is stunningly beautiful and the sound design is brilliant.

    My only issue with this game is the performance. The game is created to run on a xbox with a single processor core, so you absolutely have to disable core 0 every time you boot the game if you want anything above 30 fps
    I really don't think I've had this much fun in a game for a long time. The driving is immersive, the world is stunningly beautiful and the sound design is brilliant.

    My only issue with this game is the performance. The game is created to run on a xbox with a single processor core, so you absolutely have to disable core 0 every time you boot the game if you want anything above 30 fps (THIS ONLY WORKS FOR CORES THAT ALLOW HYPER THREADING, SO IF YOU HAVE AN I5 OR I3, DONT BUY THE GAME) Sadly the problems don't end there, as the game seems to be poorly optimized for mid range systems and "low" resolutions.

    I first tried playing it using an i7 4770k & a GTX 970 in 1080p. I was getting about 40-70 fps when I was driving around, and it would occasionally drop to 30 in races. That does not sound too bad, but there was a bug where everytime I changed cars, entered an event or went to the auction house, the framerate would drop to about 15-20 fps, and remain there until I restarted the entire game. On average I had to restart every 20 minutes or so, which kinda breaks the immersion a bit, plus that it is mildly frustrating.

    When I tried running it using a GTX 1080 TI in 1440p, the frame rate issues I previously had when I was entering menus, or stayed in the garage for too long, seemed to have disappeared completely. I am not sure whether it's the upgrade in GPU memory that fixed it, or if it was the higher resolution, but I do know that people running the game in 4k has had a more or less smooth experience since launch. So at this point I don't actually have any performance issues with the game anymore.

    TL;DR: The game itself is absolutely fantastic, and runs well on high end systems, but if you are on a mid/lower end rig, the game can be nearly unplayable.

    400 + cars, online racing .For me personally the best racing game in terms of how the cars run. Also fantastic soundtracks. The only lack is progress. Cause its just the usual, feels like the newer nfs versions when it comes to development. I wish they made a game that has some type of a story or a better structured progression system.

    There were many technical issues at launch. Things are getting a lot better after two patch. Not everything is perfect but we are getting there. The game is rich, addictive, and really good looking. If you love racing games, this is a game you should really add to your library. I know that it will remain in mine for a very long time.

    This is just so wonderfully entertaining if you like arcade style racers. There are performance worries and as this comes through the windows store it is lacking SLI and proper full screen support, adding to performance issues and costing it a couple of points.

    Possibly, one of the greatest games ever released on PC.
    I'm so addicted to it, i just can't put it down. The game is a lot of fun, there are countless of things to do, and while the map is not really that huge, it provides a playground for hours and hours of fun, playing alone, coop with friends or online with other people, just to mess around.

    The settings, i'm impressed, Australia looks beautiful, and i'm sure the Aussies must be proud of what the Forza devs have accomplished. It looks visually mesmerizing and i enjoy cruising around while looking at the different views, it kinda has that comfy vibe to it.
    As for the gameplay, it is extremely good, the driving is fantastic and the races are extremely entertaining. It plays perfect with the Xbox 360 and One gamepad, and its the way that's meant to be played.
    The music selection is top of the line, and its fantastic. If you are not convinced, you can play your own music using Groove, a music streaming service exclusive of Windows, just like Spotify. It comes with a 15 days trial.
    Overall, i'm so impressed with this game, i just lack the proper words to describe this masterpiece. I have never been so impressed with a racing game before. And you can tell the devs put a lot of love and efforts to it, you can see right there in every little detail they put, in the map and the cars.

    The only downside of the PC version is that this game is sold exclusively through Windows Store, which i'm really hoping for that to change in the future and become available in many others digital distribution services.
    The optimization of the game is not really perfect, but i just can't complain. Considering my CPU is below recommended, i'm extremely satisfied with the results, and the game plays quite fine on high and ultra settings.
    There are hitches here and there, especially in the city, but i'm sure these issues will be addressed in future patches.

    To those on the fence, you should definitely go for it. This game is really really good!
    I would give it a 10, but the fact that there are problems with the Windows store, i can't give it the perfect score.

    EVERYTHING STAYS THE SAME IN MY REVIEW, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE GAME HAS BEEN SEVERELY DOWNGRADED WITH THE LATEST PATCH. DRAW DISTANCE IS PLAIN AWFUL NOW AND AMBIENT OCLUSION HAS BEEN REMOVED.

    Great game, but with some troubles. First thing, there are checkpoints, that are no problem for me, but the npc drivers don't care if the pass them or not, and no penalty for them. Secondly, your car can easily lose controls if the enemy bump to your rear wheel, but you can't do the same to them. Thirdly, it is very expensive. Relax guys, it is not such awesome game to put it so high..

    First of all, let's be agreed on the fact that Forza Horizon 3 is one of the greatest car games released in a decade (no matter the genre) with a fine razor-sharp accurate gameplay that conveys amazing sensations due to its animation, the thrill of speed (past 300km/h it goes very fast, we don't often see such quality in the way speed is rendered), an astonishing atmosphere induced by aFirst of all, let's be agreed on the fact that Forza Horizon 3 is one of the greatest car games released in a decade (no matter the genre) with a fine razor-sharp accurate gameplay that conveys amazing sensations due to its animation, the thrill of speed (past 300km/h it goes very fast, we don't often see such quality in the way speed is rendered), an astonishing atmosphere induced by a festival that clearly displays the same magnificence as did the very first episode, beautiful graphics as well as tons of content (despite a RIDICULOUSLY small map).

    But, since there is one, and a big one, should you consider the problems the game is tussling with before you take the decision to purchase it at top price, because it's optimized like **** A true disaster. Not only isn't this W10 game the first to be obliterated and mucked up in terms of performances/opti but it also runs poorly on whatever type of machine you have (substandard performances even with 16Go Ram GDDR5, an i7-6600 and a 1070). So this means that if you don't have a very good computer, you can forget about playing it even in low presets, clearly. There's a lot of stuttering and the frames are inconstant. Although the main problem isn't that you cannot bypass these recurrent little problems by deactivating V-Sync or tweaking something else actually, the thing is that they released a game running so awfully bad that it acts as a V-Sign made to the PC platform. Keep also in mind that FH3 is encrypted so neither mods can improve it nor bring FREE content. No, in lieu of that, they don't hesitate to deluge you with overpriced DLC's and a 100$ Ultimate Edition with a Season Pass that is not even inclusive of the two forthcoming DLCs for free (while it should). They're notwithstanding priced $34,99 or "only" $24,99 with the SP... I appreciate the fact that you didn't mention this to those who already cast $100 into the Ultimate Edition... The least you could do was include them for free since everyone knows that FH's DLCs are far from being as good and valuable as those of The Witcher...

    As such, I fiercely wouldn't recommend you to buy it for the time being but as it happens to wait several weeks/months till the game's price significantly drops, (it isn't worth your money currently) and till the release of serious patches that'll make the title run decently on your gaming tanks.

    Not as great as the first 2 Horizons. Beautiful graphics with captured skies and realistic looking nighttime, some small innovations, not many games take place in Australia...
    But ultimately fail for its soulless game world, stupid level design, terrible story and progression system, perks, cringe, etc. This is the first Forza after Microsoft lowered the target audience to 8-years old.

This game is bad enough to make me want to avoid future games from this franchise (would have to have plenty of good reviews and be heavily discounted before I ever consider purchasing another Forza title).

    At its heart, you get to play some fun races in the cars that you want. But they really try to force you into playing the game in ways that really isn't fun - this includes jumping over mountains, driving your supercar through a river, racing against boats, etc.

    The 'story', characters and dialogue are all horrible. It would have been better to launch the game without these.

    Good selection of cars, plenty of mods and tuning options. The cars feel very different from each other and its always a treat to play a new car.

    There is some micro-transactions in the game. But if you are frugal, you can avoid paying extra.

    Drive all the way to the Horizon and back After almost half a year of playing this game. I must say The game itself is great. Singleplayer is fun and you have alot of different style of races. Multiplayer is way much more fun though and every "Online Adventure" is an actual adventure, alone or with a party. even though the game is GREAT, my score for this game
    Forza Horizon 3

    Drive all the way to the Horizon and back

    After almost half a year of playing this game.

    I must say The game itself is great. Singleplayer is fun and you have alot of different style of races.
    Multiplayer is way much more fun though and every "Online Adventure" is an actual adventure, alone or with a party.

    even though the game is GREAT, my score for this game is rather low for the following reason:

    First:

    ever since i got the game i had errors, now some say: "Get a better PC"
    but when i try to solve my problems the internet is full of complaints of people have all different kind of issue's. the first problem i ran into was an Teredo issue. after many days of troubleshooting i gave up and Turned my Attention the the Microsoft helpdesk. After 4 lengthy sessions of 4 hours each the helpdesk could not fix it.

    I used my last resort and Reinstalled my entire PC.

    At reinstalling the game it had trouble, i had to " buy" the game while i already owned this game for almost 3 months. after some fiddling i got it working..Including the online option!

    Finaly ! at last ! Epicness !

    Second:

    And Epicness it was... until... i started noticing that sometimes it would not load a race, it just kept loading for 10 minutes and after those 10 minutes it would say i was disconnected. Now some will say: Stop using that Dial-up Internet! but now here it comes, if i would alt+tab out and then back in it would load instant. dont know what went wrong there, but it kept happening more and more. And soon i was Alt-Tabbing like a minor trying to hide is obscure browser activity's from his parents that suddenly walked in.

    then when also if i would not alt tab each race (since it did not happen Every race, just random)
    and was in to the race and this was longer than 15 mins my screensaver would go on.
    which resulted in a black screen and when i moved my mouse again it would come back but with the Pause menu (not awesome when going fast into corners).

    so this game/windows 10 do not recognize steering wheel/shifter as a keystroke, pretty weird since you have to have windows 10 to play forza horizon 3

    Third: (turd)

    Yes turd! the worst thing about this game is that its a Cashcow. Soon to be worse than "the Sims"
    i got the ultimate edition digital copy only, since PC had no tin case editions, 130 Euro's, okey no problem its quite expensive but this game look worth it, i told myself. after playing for a while a expansion came out. got an expansion pass. DLC cars came out, got the Ultimate edition. so i dont have to worry about that.
    WRONG! the car dlc pass in only good for 6 months. So all together i already spend over 200 euros for this game in total and it looks like i'm not done yet if this trend continues .
    but believe me when i say: I am done !

    Conclusion:

    Great Game with a lot of potential!

    But the bad optimizing for PC, crashes Still Bug me on a daily basis, Errors out of the Blue (no BSOD ^_^) and the never ending asking for more money so i can finally own a "Complete" game.

    And if you are willing to turn a blind eye to the bugs crashes and errors you can still have Lots of fun!

    Crowfield.

    PS:
    when i started playing videogames we received Updates/dlc as Patches Grow a Pair ! Game industry!

Then suddenly this weird rubber-banding / jitters happens and it feels like some sort of server side lag rather than any GPU issue when my brain thinks my car is slowing down, but actually in-game time is stopping.... then don't get me started on how the game crashed within first 30 seconds on launch the first time, the unskippable opening videos, the unskippable cutscenes, the same cutscenes that cause the game to sometimes crash (so far 10 crashes, 3 hrs in), the garage car customisation menu LAGS. Yes you read that right, simply switching the rear wing on my car in the menu scrolling left/right has a 5 seconds LAG as it sort of downloads the textures for the menu button? (I'm not even talking about the visual change on the car, I'm talking about the bloody menu button!). The game also launches in a window, rather than exclusive fullscreen just to annoy you everytime you go to launch it after it crashed again. And to top it all off, if I wanted to try and fix these problems myself, I can't because of UWP. Thanks. What a turd. With patches it could probably be a flawless 9/10 and I'll adjust my score if they bother to patch any of this in the next 2 weeks or so. Otherwise no it's a absolute garbage port.

    Game publishers aren't stupid. They knew of all these problems but they still released the game. They even charged 100$/€ for the Ultimate edition with the promise of early access. Many of those who bought the Ultimate edition, including me, have not been able to play it properly yet, almost a week after launch. I've spent several hours searching for fixes for the hardcrashes and stutter but to no avail. The forums are filled with disappointed and angry fans. No public statements or aknowledgement from the devs or the publishers when the game will be patched.

    We need to boycott games like these until they are working properly to show the developers that releasing a game in this state is wrong, and will hurt them in the end. We are paying customera, not Q&A. Vote with your wallets people.

    Just like every other car game you play. The cars are bounding volumes. You smash into the side of another car and nothing happens. Please Microsoft redeem yourself and hire Bizarre Creations old staff to get PGR remade. Even a remake of 2 or 3 would suffice. This Forza stuff is gash

    I DO Agree that Its a fantastic game.
    Beautiful world, amazing details, impressive sound design and fantastic visuals.
    BUT With my system, i7 6700k, 970gtx, 16gb RAM all i get is stutter after stutter, FPS drops to 0 for seconds till it back to 40-60. Changing the resolution and settings will not make difference. I noticed CPU is running at 60-70 and sometimes hits 80%. I believe

    Unplayable
    I cant even play the main SP storymode without the game suttering, graphical errors and then crashes

    Main Races with the AI are bugged.

    Freeroam and MP works but SP is broken.

    Game also runs terribly despite lofty system req's which i well exceed and even at 60fps ultra the game doesnt look or run as good as it should

    The high-end PC settings don’t live up to our expectations, but the handling, courses, and community features are all top of their class. Forza Horizon 3 is the type of racing game that just about anyone can pick up and have fun with, but it still includes depth for committed players. Put that together with a beautiful environment that you can explore at your own pace, and Forza Horizon 3 is one of the strongest and most well-rounded open world racers we’ve ever played.

    A spectacular arcade racing game with brilliant graphics. The driving feels terrific, the amount of content is staggering and the faux Australia is joy to explore. Need for Speed, take heed.

    Forza Horizon offers you a huge world to explore. It gives you as many cars, from supercars to off-road buggies, to race how and when you want. Explore the outback, race along the coast. Forza Horizon 3 is possibly the best racing game in the world, just marred by performance issues on the PC and the dull nature of the create-your-own-race options.
