    The Game does not have a good A.I. at all. I'll describe the basic movement of the cars. First minutes of race, all the cards stick together for the first minute, after that, either if you manage to pass by all of them or not, the first 2 cars will speed up way ahead, like they have a proton torpedo as a back burner or something. Any increase in difficulty will only make matters worse as those 2 first cars will seem like they are defying the laws of gravity and acceleration. All the other cars are basically expendable.

    Since you can't quality for a good spot you'll always starts in the middle and need to scale up to first place. This becomes boring after a while. More than 3 hours and you'll want to dump this game into the trash, screaming in agony. Why there is no qualification anymore? Why are all cars behaving like this? it is so predicable and unreal.

    Game difficulty with assists is GONE, you no longer get more points for driving like a pro, you'll get points by adding MODS which is BY FAR the least interesting aspect of the game. I hated mods on Forza 6 and tried to minimize it's use but you can't do that here because it is the only way to get extra points for each race so you'll have to use it whether you like it or not.

    That's the second worse mistake Forza 7 made. You don't have a choice in how you want to play anymore, you'll force into the stupid buy packs and equip mods...

    Then, there's the other worse mistake they could make, lock cars into homologation. You're no longer able to tune your cars with REAL MODS, not those fake cards. As soon as you try to increase the motor's power you exceed the category limit and you're locked out from modding your car, so tell me, why mod a car anyway if it's only useful for a FREE RACE outside the campaign and it's also not available in multiplayer?. Why this travesty?.

    Not only that, you're no longer able to buy any car you want, you need to up your collectionist level to get the car you want so you're forced (once again) to do a stupid progresion buying cars you are NOT interested at all so you can get to that car you want to drive.

    The game focuses so much on the Mods and Packs and random cars inside packs that I feel like I'm playing a stupid freemium game from my android phone, they completely trashed the good old Forza 6.

    All of this combined with the evil necessity of the game of putting you're entire body on display so you'll know you'll have 500 suits and helmets to buy.. your avatar is everywhere and it's useless. I prefer the Forza 6 menu where I could easily go into the Garage or Race or just compete online.

    Last but not least.. the beautiful garage is gone so, basically, you no longer own a car like you did in Forza 6. That "appeal" you felt when you bought a car and you check it in your garage.. you felt like it was yours to do whatever you pleased..

    Now you're forced to buy non-interesting cars so you can get to the one you want and on top of that you are also forced to play the car "as it is" because doing any kind of mod will lock you out because of getting out of homologation.

    Whoever devised this changes should be fired right away.

    My beautiful Forza series got completely trashed for profit. This game now feels like a rip off, a cheap Forza built for the masses of dumb people who just WANT TO RACE and BUY STUFF.

    And don't get me started with the VIP treatment on this game...

    If you still have an Xbox One, go play Forza 6, it's the best in the series so far, even with the troubled rain, which is the only thing that improved on this game.    … Expand

    Don't buy. Asking for Support may get you a life-time ban by Moderators. Just look at the forums to see how they react. They will not accept any discussion besides soothsaying. And there is lots of discussion to be made with this kind of stripped and buggy game.

    Microsoft is a greedy disgrace to the gamers they could of been a juggernaut in this industry and sell their games with no micro-transactions.

    This is the last game I buy from microsoft ever. I'll be spending my money on games that don't have this in them.

    The nature of the racing in this game is terrible. It's not even arcadey - that can be extremely fun - it's just bad. Made even worse in that this is pretending to be more sim-like in appearance. Always starting in the middle of the field and having to battle against cheating, aggressive AI means this is effectively just a series of passing challenges while playing demo derby. It's not even racing, it's just trying to look like racing.

    And that's before you get to the gambling aspect with the microtransactions. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.

    Oh yeah, and they took away rewards for using no driver aids. That's part of the lootbox system now.

    Good aspects: it's got a lot of cars?

This game could have been perfect, but these changes aren't good. This is the first game I pre-ordered for years.

    I won't be doing it again, and I certainly won't be buying another Forza game. The racing itself is still good, but the issues I've listed leave a very bad taste in the mouth.    … Expand

    Forza Motorsport 7 is the seventh installment of the well established auto circuit racing series. The game suffers from many oversights, bugs and outright stupid decisions.

Had they applied some sort of meaningful progression systemForza Motorsport 7 is the seventh installment of the well established auto circuit racing series. The game suffers from many oversights, bugs and outright stupid decisions. But lets start with the positives. The number of cars is just staggering, the models are very nice, the circuits are aplenty and the audio is not bad at all. Had they applied some sort of meaningful progression system and added a decent AI, it might have been a fine game. Instead it is a boring grind. The progression system feels like such a chore and even though there are so many cars to choose from, it is not fun to collect them. Every car that you buy also comes already homologated for the division you are racing in, so there is no point even going into the upgrade menu. But the worst is yet to come. When you finally start the race, you will notice that you are starting from the back of the grid every single time, no matter how far in the campaign you are, no matter how well you are doing in the current "season", you always start from the back. So in a standard length race ( 2 to 5 laps, 4 to 10 minutes a race ), there is just not enough time to get past all of your opponents, if you are racing against an AI difficulty that is roughly equal to you. So you will either have to lower the difficulty, learn how to accept defeat or cheat. And cheating is very easy. There are no penalties for anything in the singleplayer mode. You can ram everyone, cut the corners by how much you want and there are going to be no repercussions. As a bonus to all that, there are all kinds of microtransactions. The price crates (regular loot boxes), which you can only buy for ingame currency are pretty suspicious and were probably also intended to be sold for real life money. And as for the assists: if you have got a steering wheel, turn off everything straight away, that is the only way you are going to learn to be faster and enjoy yourself at least a little bit. If you are playing on keyboard, I would probably keep the ABS on.

    This game makes few things right and a lot of things wrong ( some of them very wrong). Unless you are a die hard circuit racing fan, I would not recommend this game to you. Final verdict: 40 %    … Expand

    Forza Motorsport 7 is a great game on Xbox. On the PC version there are too many issues to warrant a good review. It doesn't support G-SYNC, it crashes every 20 minutes to dekstop, i get around 0.1 frames per second in every menu and the force feedback is not making any sense.

There is a card system that really doesn't belong at all in the Motorsport franchise.

    Do you like racing trucks? Microsoft and Turn10 does! Who came up with this idea?

    At least the graphics and physics are good, for 10-20 minutes before it crashes. The customization is also top notch and there are plenty of cars and tracks.

    Avoid this game on PC and buy it on Xbox, where these issues are far less common but still exist.

    What a shame on such a great game. Worth noting is that Forza Horizon 3 was pretty much unplayable on PC as well. Microsoft needs to step up their PC-port game.

But I will still rate it a 3 out of 10 for the graphics and pushing the hardware requirements forward so things like new GPUs and CPUs are actually worth purchasing to play these type of games.

    The first error was not releasing the game through a DRM-free channel like GOG or just plain DRM-free from the get go. If they did this, they would have garnered the goodwill of PC gamers showing us that they don't need DRM to sell their games to us.

    I honestly do not care about Windows 10, I have gone through all the privacy things and it is just fine with me especially since it means games can be natively DX12 and make good use of PC hardware rather than be hamstrung by backwards compatibility.

    The second error was the micro-transactions, what they should have done is bundle all of the things they want to sell as extra, as one big expansion. That method would have worked much better and they would have avoided the negative press from micro-transactions.

    This shows how disconnected the game developers and companies actually are from the PC gamers who purchase their games to support development of future games. PC gamers do not like micro-transactions.

    Microsoft should sell all their games DRM-free and feature complete with expansions later, that would have done much to improve their public relations with PC gamers. It would actually encourage people to buy more games made by their game development teams.

    MS Store and Win 10 makes this game inaccessible to many (and more as a sales pitch for MS), then after making the effort to jump through the hoops and pay an exorbitant amount for the game, it runs poorly, crashes frequently, and has pay to earn game mechanics. Was looking forward to the game and unfortunately it is a massive flop. Thumbs down and buyer beware.

    As a decade-long Forza fan, I am pleased to say that this game is no worse than the others in the series.

The prize crates don't make the game any better, but they don't make it worse like everyone else is saying either. The game is extremely well-optimized and gorgeous, with great dynamic optimisation, and decent support for a range of input devices; though the game feels designed for a controller rather than even an official wheel like the G920. The force feedback and overall experience on a wheel - particularly navigating menus - is not great. Certainly Project Cars 2 is better on a wheel than this (when it works that is!). But Forza remains the undisputed champion when it comes to cars. The level of customisation and attention to detail for every single car is unrivaled, and the whole experience still feels satisfying for newcomers and veterans alike, despite the lack of fundamental changes to the tried-and-tested formula.

    I understand the downvotes due to the microtransactions and essentially creating the driver and suits purely for such purposes, but it must be said that these are completely optional and do not take away from the game. You are not at a disadvantage by not spending any money beyond the initial purchase price. Sure, the game wants you to buy prize crates, but these are reasonably priced with in-game credits.

    The only thing I really wish Forza did was to have more cars (at least all of the ones in previous Forza games) and some more "ordinary" cars as there were in Forza Motorsport 4. My other request would be more tracks. If this game had the tracks, helmet cam, weather effects and wheel support found in Project Cars 2 it would be a 10/10. Yet the only innovation this entry brings to the series is yet another scheme for sustainable revenue based on the largely loathed system of loot boxes.    … Expand

    Decent driving dynamics and track selection, good car selection, but the lack of Toyotas is unfortunate. The micro-transactions (i.e. loot crates), on the other hand, are not a welcome addition to the series. It was a very unfortunate choice to add them, and I hope they don't continue to make appearances in other popular series, and in future installments of Forza.

    Let's get one thing straight. This game is absolutely gorgeous. I've broken the rest down to pros and cons based on playing the other games in the series:

    PROS: The scenery and vehicle quality is amazing. The reproduction quality isn't the best, but most people won't notice the finer details. The physics are excellent, easily the best non-professional sim racer out there. CONS:    Let's get one thing straight. This game is absolutely gorgeous.

    PROS:
    The scenery and vehicle quality is amazing. The reproduction quality isn't the best, but most people won't notice the finer details. The physics are excellent, easily the best non-professional sim racer out there.

    CONS:
    They really tried their best to incorporate loot boxes. So much so that it's in every screen of the game. Let's all just be happy they aren't using loot boxes for engine mods or certain tracks and cars at this point. The stability is sub-par. I had to do quite a bit of tweaking to get it to run smoothly on my PC.

    THE REALLY BIG CON:
    Remember Forza 4? You had 100 different series to choose from. With those series, you could choose which car you wanted to buy, tune it the way you want, and know that every upgrade you chose and setting you changed, that you had a better chance of winning. The thing that Forza 7 misses out on is the excitement of upgrading and tuning. (You might be sitting there like "what is this guy on about?") Sure, you get to upgrade, you get to tune... but most of the cars you win or receive from level-ups are already upgraded. Which means you lose the chance to really upgrade your car as you go. That and the added "class restrictions" means that even if you are given the ability to upgrade, you can only change a part or two. Tire size, engine horsepower, these are all limited by the event you choose.

    With all this said, I'm split down the middle. I'm a fan of Forza Motorsport 4. I will always have an Xbox 360, just to play that game. However, I can't see me playing this game years from now... it just doesn't feel like Forza Motorsport.    … Expand

    A fun challenging game. It's a bit buggy in places, but they seem to have patched all the major glitches out. This was my first racing game purchase/experience. I did play Gran Toursimo on the PS2 at a friend's house many years ago though, so all my comparisons/expectations for what a racing game should be ultimately are judged from that earlier experience.

    Pros: - beautiful -    A fun challenging game. It's a bit buggy in places, but they seem to have patched all the major glitches out. This was my first racing game purchase/experience. I did play Gran Toursimo on the PS2 at a friend's house many years ago though, so all my comparisons/expectations for what a racing game should be ultimately are judged from that earlier experience.

    Pros:
    - beautiful
    - obviously optimized for an XBO controller, so buy one, the game and controller are clearly designed for each other.
    - Tons of cars
    - Tons of tracks
    - night and weather(i hate, but it does add depth...)
    - Accurate physics
    - Car tuning per track to squeeze an ms or two out of a lap
    - Several tracks offer an almost hypnotic flow to some sections, a rythem almost. This probably isn't unique to this game, many racing games likely feel this way.
    - It needs to be said again, the game is gorgeous. The artists and all the programming that went into the presentation of the game deserves praise.

    Cons:
    - I wish there was a licensing/test progression system similar to what Gran Tourismo did.
    - Can be buggy. One bug caused me to never experience tire wear or fuel usage. This obviously killed the immersion of longer races. They eventually patched it.
    - No incentive for clean driving. Online racing is a fiasco. If Online racing is your thing, DO NOT BUY. It's basically bumper cars with no sort of MMR system or anything.
    - AI can be very aggressive, it's not realistic. With no incentive to avoid running people off the road there's no reason for you or the AI to truly master courses.

    They will need to redo their AI, I think, before they can implement a penalty system. I think, with no proof or evidence, that their AI was not capable of a more nuanced strategic racing approach. Without an effective penalty system, the online play will continue to be toxic. I prefer solo games, so the online failures aren't too big of a deal to me.

    Now that I think about it, they NEED to redo their AI for the next title. If they fix the AI, they can implement penalties which will go a long way towards fixing the online issues. I hope they do.    … Expand

It is right on the precipice of "incredible", but Turn 10 has managed to castrate this title in a number of ways:

    - AI:
    The AI is **** infuriating. I have tried every configuration possible: turning "limit aggression"
    on/off, trying every difficulty setting from normal to unbeatable, etc. The first corner is always a
    bumper car **** show, and the AI basically exhibits zero awareness that you are even on the track
    with them. On some tracks, they are cake. On others it seems they have replaced their engines
    with rockets (homologation my ass!).
    - VIP
    I bought this. Joke's on me! VIP is **** joke.
    - Tuning/Homologation:
    Homologation takes away most of the freedom that made Forza great. When you do eventually
    decide to tune a car, good luck finding "Test Drive"! Seriously, why was the quick test drive option
    removed?
    - Loot Crates/Other F2P Bull****:
    Things that were features in previous games are now behind pay walls. **** you Turn 10. I payed
    $100 for this game, I should not have to put another cent into for a long time.
    - PC Stability:
    The game crashes at least once per session. My PC is more than up to the task (i7 5930K @ 4.5GHz, 32GB DDR4 @ 3000MHz, 2x GTX 1080 in SLI)

    Ford with all the RTR stuff clearly sponsored the game some and in return any Camaro/Corvette drives like terrible in comparison, so much for being a "simulation" game.

    This game doesn't look bad, but the port to PC has got to be the worst pile of steaming DUNG i've ever seen. I loaded the game and instantly closed it and asked for my money back.

The car in front of me will be glitchly until you get to a certain distance, either it has no wheels or the car paint is a different color. Idk it seems like im the only one to have this problem, but it really messes with my experience.… Expand

    If I had to describe this game with one word, it would be "Inconsistent". In everything. Graphics, sound, handling, etc. The only consistent thing is the AI in singleplayer - it's consistently bad. In the end, all I got from this game is TOCA 3 nostalgia, but unfortunately, TOCA 3 does not really work anymore on modern HS/SW, so I am stuck with this instead.

In the end, all I got from this game is TOCA 3 nostalgia, but unfortunately, TOCA 3 does not really work anymore on modern HS/SW, so I am stuck with this instead.

    Graphically, the cars are mostly well modeled. Environment, however, is straight out of early 2000's, increasing that TOCA 3 nostalgia. Compared to F-Horizon 4, which is an open world game - the environments are much uglier, despite being more contained and thus theoretically allowing for much more detail. Theoretically only, in this case. Furthermore, the lightning and reflections are for the most part worse as well.

    Sound is okay, I guess. Some of the cars sound like lawn-movers on crack. However, this seems to be an area the Forza games are consistently serviceable, but nothing more. There's a lot of cars and I guess the devs don't have the resources to record sounds for all of them + various configurations / upgrades so they use generic soundscape and tweak it a little.

    The amount of tracks is again serviceable, but it's nothing special. It's all just the most common tracks.

    The meat of the game is the huge vehicle selection, which is great on one hand. On the other, a lot of them do not handle very well. Often, it feels more like steering huge ships rather than sports cars. My almost 2 ton Mercedes E Klasse Wagon feels more nimble than some racing cars in FM7. There's also some vehicle classes with only 1 or two cars - like the ATVs - and no tracks specifically for them, no autocross, etc. Feels like they just took random stuff lying around in their model library and put it in with no plans to actually expand on the roster of cars and tracks in any way.

    The game is also extremely grindy, it takes ages to get a decent garage, even with buying the ultimate edition and getting a bunch of different cars. Can't imagine how much of a pain it is to start out with just one car and try and build your way up from that.

    Setting up solo races or tournaments is a pain, it's complicated, there's very little to no tooltips and settings are often unclear, so until you learn to work with the convoluted system, you'll do a lot of trial and error attempts which is a serious pain in posterior.

    AI is nonexistent. It's just like a train, on railroad, carts going on rails behind each other, not flinching a bit from the pre-programmed path, not reacting to anything. Sometimes, this leads to funny af situations where the railroad goes too close to pitstop and AI cars get grabbed from the race to go pitstop in lap 1 of 2 lap race. Other times, it is annoying, as AI seems at least partially aware of the positions of other AI cars, but completely oblivious to yours, and they will just ram into you repeatedly. Most of the time, though, it is just boring.

    In single-player, your starting position is fixed, and based off of your difficulty - no qualifier, etc. You get points from the position you finish in, but not position gain, so starting from 24th and ending 4th gives you the same reward as starting 4th and ending 4th. If this was only the first race and then the position was based on your overall/tournament standing, I could probably live with it even though it would still be annoying. However, it is not. You start for example 14th, every race in the tournament, no matter your previous race position, no matter your tournament position, etc. In order to progress through the career, you have to, especially in the later groups, consistently podium. A lot of "fun" when you start 24th every race.

    Anyways, the game tries to lean more onto the sim part, rather than the cade, but it fails as it lacks, aside from proper driving model for a lot of cars, a lot of features which are a part of IRL racing, and the progression model that is there is a very simplistic and very crap replacement for it.

    Really, the game feels just thrown together because some suit at MGS saw a Gran Turismo ad somewhere and remembered they have some similar IP somewhere, so he took 10 guys and had them cobble together something out of legacy assets, just so they could tick a box on a list somewhere.

    Add to that the technical problems - the commonly reported crashing, the stuttering and freezing in tournament menus, the sometimes egregiously long loading times - seriously, the time it takes to load into a race is often 2-3 times longer than loading into Forza Horizon 4, which is again, an open world game with a huge map - certainly huge compared to one circuit at a time in FM7.

    As an uninspired, unimaginative game with no ambition, cobbled together mostly from older assets or stuff from its sister series (a bunch of the models are just lifted from Horizon), I could perhaps call it painfully average and give it a 5, but factor in the lack of technical polish and 4 it is.    … Expand

    Great game with excellent graphics. I loved Forza 4 and 5, didn't get to play 6, but 7 is everything I hoped it to be. A lot of reviews on here complain about microtransactions - those have been removed from the game. I played the game when there were lootboxes and it didn't impact my experience. I didn't play competitive online so not sure if there were meta cars only in lootboxes.

    I do wish this game was on Steam but I don't really care about what software launches my games. You can make desktop icons and it makes no difference.

    It's my first Forza Motorsport since the 3rd Edition. Honestly... i've expected more from it. The game runs very good and the amount of Race Tracks is big. Also the graphics are good and clean, but it's somehow to clean for me. Assetto Corsa or the F1 games from Codemasters are looking much better. Especially the architecture beside the racetrack is horrible. AI is bad.

    On the Good side is a entertaining career mode and the intuitive Gameplay with the Controller. For me, Forza Horizon 3 and 4 are the better Choices. They're Arcade, but even Forza Motorsport 7 doesn't feel like the full Sim Expierience. It's in some way... borning to drive.    … Expand

    I can't tell if this is a sim racer, arcade racer or a childrens game?

Basically you buy these cards that allow you to start in a different place, or have wet weather... and they affect how many credits you earn. Yup, driving assists no longer matter for some stupid reason. So if you have full traction control and steering assist you can earn the same amount as someone who is playing with skill.
    The AI are as basic as they come. Racing is a non contact sport (Unless its banger racing ofc). The AI simply don't understand that and make no effort to avoid crashing into you. If you are in their driving line then you are gonna get rammed by them. They all constantly drive as a wolf pack aswell.
    You know that tear system in the battle royale games so you would know how powerful a gun is? Well apparently Turn 10 decided that its also got a place in a sim racer aswell? I know, it confused me aswell. To make matters worse the tears are completely random and don't correspond to the cars rarity in real life.
    There is no point tuning your cars because then you can't use them for anything accept arcade races. Seriously if you wanted to make online balanced then you have races where tuning setups aren't eligible and races what are. This way everyone is happy. Surely thats common sense, although I think that runs a bit sparse in Turn 10 after the garbage thats been pumped out that place these last few years. I hope Forza Motorsport 8 actually focus on sim racing and then leave all the arcade stuff for horizon. I wont be pre ordering any games from them but will be checking reviews.    … Expand

    The game is a joke. I like racing games and Forza Motorsport 7 is delivering some of it, but it fails at being an enjoyable and good game.

    The AI in this game is making the AI in GTA look like Albert Einstein, because it is not great at all.
    On topic of AI: When I play with friends, I would like to see an AI option, because a two player race is very boring.
    It is nonsense that there is no qualification. If I can manage a much faster lap time that the AI, why should I start at the far back and box my way through the unpredictable and bad driving AI?
    I like Forza Horizon. much better. Those games have substance and are at least better than the mess that was created with Motorsport 7. It really feels like a downgrade, when I spend 60€ and I download 100 GB (for a day) and all I get is a race, in which the game crashes 5 meters in front of the finish line.

    In its current form FM7 is not perfect (loot boxes!), but when it comes to the most important thing, namely the joy of driving, it’s simply the best racing game available regardless of platform. [12/2017, p.64]

    There's an incredible amount to do within the confines of a traditional racing game. Flawed, then, but pushing for the top of the podium all the same. [Christmas 2017, p.116]
