    What is left to be said? Playground games have knocked it straight out of the park once again. And it's a big park. With the innovative new seasons, it's like having 4 maps in one. Tracks you thought you knew are now completely different in different seasons. Your car now behaves differently, as does the game.

    Wow. Just wow. What a game. This feels revolutionary, not evolutionary as with Horizon 3. If I'm honest I was not massively taken back by Horizon 3, I thought Australia was bland and flat when compared to Horizon 2's Italy/France based map. Horizon 4 though has absolutely nailed the location. It is, without doubt, THE best looking game I have ever seen. And I'm not even able to playWow. Just wow. What a game. This feels revolutionary, not evolutionary as with Horizon 3. If I'm honest I was not massively taken back by Horizon 3, I thought Australia was bland and flat when compared to Horizon 2's Italy/France based map. Horizon 4 though has absolutely nailed the location. It is, without doubt, THE best looking game I have ever seen. And I'm not even able to play it in 4k as I don't have an Xbox One X - so it must be amazing on that. I'm from Northumberland and I ride a motorbike (so I get about a bit) and I am telling you now that Playground games have captured the beauty and atmosphere of the north of England, Wales, and Scotland perfectly. The seasons - they are great. Summer really does feel like summer, with lush green fields and blue skies. Autumn really does feel like autumn, with leaves littering the road, rainy weather, and the ambiance of the environment feeling a little cooler. Winter looks fantastic, with the sky being a slightly different shade of blue due to the sun being lower in the sky You get the idea. The attention to detail in this game is honestly staggering...for example the map view turns white in winter, the radio goes off when you go through tunnels...and the cars - they are modelled perfectly. Additionally the seasons massively diversify the map keeping things fresh and new - this is a great idea. It has a great soundtrack too. What's better than flying through the English countryside in an Aston Martin with classic FM playing? Nothing really. I'm not a huge fan of the over the top opening sequence but that's just to introduce you to the game, the real depth and detail comes after you progress past that. Please disregard the overly negative reviews scoring 0, I'm not sure how any game can score a 0, especially not a game of this calibre and polish. It's disappointing that so many would rate the game 0 having not played it and simply because they are disappointed by the average score of GT Sport. I'm giving this game a 10 as I honestly do not know what they can do to improve it. There is no such thing as a perfect game but this is as close as possible as you will get to that. This is without doubt the best arcade racing game ever made. It may be the best racing game ever made. There is no other racing game on the market that can compete with this, and I suspect there won't be for some time. Buy it :-) Expand

    This is my very first experience with the Forza franchise. I never owned an Xbox until last year so this is just another Xbox first for me. I have to say that this game has blown me away, this is one of the best racing games that I have ever played.

    This is my very first experience with the Forza franchise. I never owned an Xbox until last year so this is just another Xbox first for me. I have to say that this game has blown me away, this is one of the best racing games that I have ever played.

    Genre

    Racing

    Gameplay

    This is an open-world racing game, a similar vein to Burnout Paradise which was just remastered earlier this year. The big difference is, that game never clicked with me but this game just feels like something special. I think the big difference between the two is Burnout Paradise is an arcade racer 100% and the Forza Horizon franchise is the perfect blend of arcade and simulation racer.

    The fact that the game is an open world really plays the games strength. If you want to hop into the game for 20 minutes and just drive around, you can do so with relative ease. Although people are definitely starting to feel open-world fatigue this game is not big deal because this is a racing/driving game and its fun to just drive around. So the most basic thing you can do in an open-world is just move around and when that aspect is fun then it instantly becomes a fun open-world game.

    The other nice aspect of the game being an open-world game is the fact the fact that you can easily pick and chose what racing events you want to engage with. There is street racing, off-road racing, dirt racing, drag racing, drifting, etc. The list goes on if you don’t have any interest in a specific event you can easily ignore it. I personally have 0 interest in drifting so I just didn’t even waste my time engaging with that.

    Single Player

    The nice thing about this game is, you can play this entire game by yourself offline and its a great experience. I have played almost 30 hours of this game offline, just doing whatever I want.

    Online

    I know the game has online, I’m not entirely sure what the online is. I don’t have it so its hard for me to comment on what the online entails.

    Recap: The Good

    Driving

    Open-World

    Single Player

    Recap: The Bad

    N/A

    Recap: The Okay

    I didn’t talk about it in the review, I will just mention it here. There is character customization. Its very basic, some people may have an issue with it. I don’t care personally, I’m not playing a racing game because I care about what my character looks like.

    I have to preface this review by saying I have played every Forza game since FM3, and do consider myself a fan of the series, so let claims of bias go all out...

    Firstly, Forza Horizon 4 is an absolutely gorgeous game, whether in 4k @ 30 or 1080p @ 60 (Always gonna take the FPS in a racing game), the numerous vistas and beauty spots, the lines of the cars and their interiors, the countryside of the UK, and the seasonal effects are all brought to life with the enhanced graphics capabilities of this game. I can imagine it being even better on PC with 4k @ 60, but this is exceptional for console standards.

    From a gameplay mechanics perspective, not much has changed year over year, still has the same feel of old, with the same sort of customization and tuning that fans have grown accustomed to over the years. This game has a similar setup with different types of events for you to partake in, from street racing to dirt/snow trail rallies, there are a lot of races to complete and loads of content to keep your progression from getting too stale, including the showcases for each season which certainly lend themselves to fun gameplay moments.

    Seasons is a nice touch and addition, cycling through the seasons live and online happens every 7 days, which can be good or bad depending on if you are picky about what season you would prefer to be in, but there is always the option to go offline and play how you would like to. It is certainly worth mentioning that I do really enjoy the changeovers from what I have played so far, as each season offers new pathways, gorgeous vistas, and fun racing dynamics that encourage different car styles that players would most likely avoid otherwise.

    The car engine noises are hit and miss for me sometimes, some of them sound on point like they would in real life and some of them sound like raspy cereal box car toys... I do not know how else to describe that, sorry.

    Forza is also offering their usual DLCs, with the first one dropping in December, and if Blizzard Mountain and Hot Wheels are any indication, we're in for something good. I cannot mention DLC without mentioning that the level of purchasable content has been increasing over the years and this a big negative for me, I understand the Ultimate edition and how it comes with free DLC packs and all the cars, but if you do not wish to purchase that version or cannot afford to, you might have a really bad time with purchasing car packs and passes without it, the prices can get pretty ridiculous.

    I also have to mention the noticeable absence of Toyota's mainstream models, and Mitsubishi altogether, and while I cannot blame this on the Forza team because the circumstances and reasoning have not been released at the time of writing this review, it is terribly sad to not race around in my FNF Supra, or have a rivalry rally race between the Impreza and Lancer. I better not see them as a DLC pack either, or I'll be even more disappointed.

    I have also found it increasingly annoying how easily obtainable some of these cars are, and I am not sure if I want to consider this a negative because there are so many games that hide this sort of progression behind a paywall, but what I am trying to say is that I do not feel like owning a hyper car is something I earned or is special because it becomes easily obtainable after a few hours of gameplay for everyone, and subsequently becomes ubiquitous.

    I have to also mention that the soundtrack seems to either play the same 6 or 7 songs over and over or is just too short in total, which is not too impressive for me. Alongside this, keep in mind that this game is aimed at kids, so do not be surprised when you see emotes all over the place, mediocre voice acting, and over simplification of certain mechanics.

    + Absolutely gorgeous graphics
    + Same great customization & tuning
    + Extensive car list
    + Fun gameplay
    + Loads of content
    + Dual graphics options
    + Seasons offers different varieties of gameplay
    + Great online atmosphere

    - Too much purchasable content going forward
    - Not too much has changed year over year
    - Omissions of Toyota & Mitsubishi is sad

    Overall, Forza Horizon 4 is an excellent game, and is well worth picking up if you are a series fan or a car person in general, just do not expect a complete overhaul from the 3rd instalment. This game is an 80 for me.

But as you progress through the game it starts to feel a bit repetitive. There is a wide array of cars and car types, and the changing seasons makes sure you're always switching up your cars. For example, in Summer you will most likely be tearing up the road in a 2 million pounds supercar, whereas in Winter you'll likely find yourself driving in a truck or a buggy. This is not always the case though, there are different tire types to put on your car to make it snow-worthy. overall it's an 8.5/10 from me. Expand

    Been playing this on PC at 4k60 maxed as well as Xbox one X and I have to say it's visually stunning. The detail in the cars and world is unmatched especially in an open world racer. It also has almost no pop in which is another amazing feat. The audio is every bit as good as the visuals as well although some cars have reused audio but that's understandable since there are over 450.Been playing this on PC at 4k60 maxed as well as Xbox one X and I have to say it's visually stunning.

    Gameplay wise this easily tops previous Horizon titles and the seasons add a ton of replay value. The addition of Rally focused races is also a welcome addition. This is hands down the best open world racer and I've played them all regardless of platform.

    The game is also incredibly polished and bug free. I have yet to have a single issue in well over 100 hours except a single crash due to pushing the overclock on my gtx1080 too far.

    Last but not least this game runs significantly better than fh3 or fm7 on lower spec machines so you can hit 60+fps with higher settings or resolution.

I found myself spending countless hours roaming the countryside of Scotland either by myself or with friends and just being entertained. When I wasn't just plowing through farm lands to hit a jump going 150mph and actually diving into all the diverse race styles that game had to offer I would see the hours tick by. It was a nice break from traditional racing games of racing on the same tracks since the Grand Turismo days of the late 90s over and over with just updated car models and graphics. The game was gorgeous and ran extremely smooth on the Xbox One X. Between all the different modes you can partake in the single player and the team style modes in multiplayer, I highly recommend this game to racing fans, especially if you are looking for something other than racing Sebring Raceway for the one millionth time in your life.

    The game is impeccable, especially if you haven't played another racing game in a while (which incorporates some "GTA questing" on the go, mildly) but I must subtract at least 2 points because:

    1) The game's NPCs are utterly annoying by being single-headed fools that try way too much to be excited. Not only they act like drunk bafoons all the time, almost all stories are uninteresting

    2) The game is in need for extreme grinding in order to reach 100% completion. i.e. it becomes a chore to complete it fully and you might be better off not reaching 100% completion.

    All in all the game is definitely not bad but be warned, it's not perfect, especially if you are experienced at gaming. Highly recommended if you haven't played good racing though.

    PS. Never play a game like this with a keyboard, always use a good controller, at least.

    Setting plays a huge part in open world games whether its a racing game or what ever. UK was perfect choice for this one. A breath of fresh air 'cause you just don't see that very often. Usually its LA or some boring like a European place. I really hope next entry will take place in Japan.

    Controls feel tight and better than before, probably 'cause this was made for new generation consoles. Hell, I can even drift with a game pad. Ai balance issues between race types have been fixed and this was something I didn't believe would happen. This restored my faith in turn 10 and playground games as a developer. Multiplayer events are super fun and very well implemented.

    The game is absolutely beautiful. Lighting is top notch and the world is very immersive. I don't know if that's the right word but it makes me feel like I'm really sitting in that car driving trough British country side. Last time this happened was when I got ps1 as a Christmas present back in a day and it just blew my mind. I can't remember when i had this much fun playing a modern game. Holy hell I'm impressed.

    Only con is the car roster. There is just too many boring BMWs and too few interesting cars. But at least Porsche is back so that's good.

    I'm actually little bit lost for words here. Horizon 4 is so good it doesn't need a long ass review. It's awesome, go play it!

A huge number of cars (to carp unless it is possible for lack of the Mitsubishi brand), excellent graphics (especially for Xbox One X) and an excellent soundtrack. Indicative arrivals have turned out excellent, some even surpass an introductory demonstration run in Forza Horizon 3.
    It is possible to carry to shortcomings unless only that fact that the multiplayer becomes available after passing of the introduction. Well still models of avatars of racers look wildly outdated, especially a facial expression. Strange, but even in Forza Horizon 2 they look better.
    P.S. A demonstration arrival of HALO just the best crossover which I saw in recent years.

However, after playing this game i can say that Forza Horizon 4 is the game you can only play on Xbox i like the most. Honestly, i didn't expect that I would enjoy a driving title so much.
    The content of the game is huge. We can find a huge number and variety of cars we can drive, and each of them is a completely different experience; It's clear that Playground Games really pulled their weight to make this game unique in its genre. Moreover, the amount of things available along the game is really big too: Races, challenges, exhibition events, missions, places to visit... There're always things to do. So if that's only the offline game, imagine how big it becomes online.
    About the visual section of the game, It's just gorgeous. In addition, the game is perfectly optimized for Xbox one X (where I played), even if you choose to play in the performance mode (which runs the game at 60 fps) the graphics will amaze you for sure.
    What I find annoying is that the game is a bit hard to play in the beginning for newcomers. We'll have to learn by our own without the help of almost any tutorial. We have to take into account the depth of this game, so some assist would make this game more accessible for everyone.

    Forza Horizon 4 is the best racing game of all time. That may sound like an overstatement but it really is true. The closest thing I can think of in terms of pushing the genres envelope is probably Gran Turismo 2 and this feel like even more of a leap forward than that game.

    Graphics I'm not even playing this on 4k and it is definitely amongst the most beautiful games I've ever played.
    Forza Horizon 4 is the best racing game of all time. That may sound like an overstatement but it really is true. The closest thing I can think of in terms of pushing the genres envelope is probably Gran Turismo 2 and this feel like even more of a leap forward than that game.

    Graphics
    I'm not even playing this on 4k and it is definitely amongst the most beautiful games I've ever played. The weather effects not only shine visually but in how they effect your cars handling/braking. I may be somewhat biased coming from the UK but it all looks absolutely stunning. There is a ton of elevation variety which is probably the biggest knock on the previous Forza games. The map is absolutely gigantic and the roads, both off road and on are amazing fun to drive. The car detail has now gotten to a near photo realistic level, particularly when shown in 4k. There has been more than one moment when I've been playing this where you just get lost in how wonderful it all looks. Fortunately there is a brilliant photo mode to help capture these moments. Everything looks absolutely brilliant, every single car looks amazing. The dynamic seasons basically mean that every week the game changes not just visually but significantly. Winter makes lakes turn into gigantic skid pans, Spring brings heavy rain making the off roads even slidier than before and Summer just makes everything look beautiful. It's some of the best gaming graphics I have ever seen which is even more astounding since it all comes from a single load on start up that isn't even that long.

    Gameplay.
    Incredible. They've mastered the "Forza Horizon" style of car handling now which isn't simulation but isn't quite arcade. You will have absolutely zero difficulty in making any car drift, for example, but this all adds to the fun. The odd part is Horizon has now basically just become a gigantic sandbox. There is no real story, even if the old entries had a very basic one this time around there really isn't anything. There is a festival, lots of cars and lots of races to use them in. That's about it. But that's perfect. Its simple. It's a game you can play for 6 hours or 20 minutes and feel like you achieved something in the time you spent playing. The constant addition of not only new races but new story paths give this game a level of depth I've basically never seen elsewhere. The story modes all put a little spin on the races which addresses the issue that really all you can do in racing games is, well, race. Things like Drift Club, Stunt Driver and the brilliant addition of British Racing Heritage add so much more to a game that could easily become boring and repetitive. British Racing Heritage definitely requires singling out as brilliant. They throw you into a variety of British cars, tell you to drive to a point and on the way give you an interesting and well written history lesson on the car. Its great fun and informative too, even to a fairly avid petrol head like myself. There is simply so much to do it is a testament to how fun it is to just drive the cars that in the last week or so of playing I've barely done a race. The barn finds are back again and as fun as ever to do, the addition of houses is a nice touch and gives you a more personal kind of landmark on the map. The car list is staggeringly huge and whilst licences prevent some brands from appearing you certainly don't lack for choice or variety. You unlock wheelspins or super wheelspins (three spins in one go) as you progress through the game and it's a brilliant mechanic because of the elation you feel when you win a big chunk of money or a really rare car. The idea to give VIP pass owners 2 free super spins a week is a brilliant idea and the main reason why I've probably played this at least once every week since it came out.

    Sound
    It's a personal thing but I'm not too fond of most of the soundtrack, in fact I'm on the classical station most of the time but it has to be said there is a ton of music that is wildly varied. The stations DJs are well written and they scripted in stuff that's happening in the game world which is a nice touch. If a barn find just unlocked you'll find them discussing it inbetween songs for example. The voice actors give a good performance. I mean they're hardly performing Shakespeare but you don't find yourself annoyed by them which in this sort of game is a triumph. The engines sound good but anybody with car knowledge will recognize they aren't realistic and there are some annoyances like the hybrid cars not having electric engine noise at low speed. A minor quibble but one none the less.

    Summary
    I really honestly cannot fault anything about FH4. Every aspect of it is brilliant, addictive and above all incredible amounts of fun. The constant addition to the world via car passes, season changes and the latest addition of a brilliant DLC in Fortune Island makes this one of the best deals in gaming and in my opinion the greatest racing game of all time.

Don Thompson's pedant returns in Timeless FM but now he is more relaxed in his comments. The events are established in lines within the game #Forzathon which propose to the users connected to the server to overcome challenges together, going through rounds. The Trailblazer type race is attached which indicates a start and a goal without specifying a route making them very fun in cross country. The pilot is customizable in sex and clothing without restrictions, making each epic with very few combinations. Accessible achievements. Skill points are for cars and their benefits tree is very particular. The Fortune Island and Lego Championships expansions add hundreds more hours to the game. The Eliminator game mode is attached which is a Battle Royal with cars. It's on Game Pass

    The bad:
    There are so many events that take you away from the main objective. There are events like The Colossus that you only unlock at Road Racing level 20 and that nobody specifies. I am not returning the Drivatars lineup, nor the clubs / meeting points. Mixer is included in their menus (poor).
