    I've been a huge Forza fan from the start. I've so far loved every entry from both the regular Forza series as well as Horizon.

The whole season dynamic is extremely well done and the open world set in the UK is simply beautiful. i'm still not sure if its a better game then 3, but as of now its equal. I can't wait to see what sort of expansions the devs come up with for this one.… Expand

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.… Expand

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

    In my opinion, Forza Horizon 3 is the best arcade racing game ever made. Somehow Forza Horizon 4 manages to be even better.

    My only complaint is that the seasons lasts for a whole week meaning that when winter ends, you'll have to wait for 3 weeks before being able to play winter again. And if you're unable to play during that week you will entirely miss that season. It just feels a bit weird.

    PS4 may have all the biggest and best exclusives but the one thing they don't have is Forza. And the Forza Horizon series alone is worth owing an Xbox One for in my opinion. This game is simply one of the best racing games ever made.

    Do rukou se nám dostala závodní hra, která aktuálně nemá konkurenci. NFS šlape vodu a je to dobrá hra na mobil a The Crew 2 to vše totálně překombinovalo. Jediným konkurentem FH4 je tedy FH3 :-) Nelze tedy jinak, než mávnou šachovnicovým praporkem a vyhlásit jasného vítěze, který kromě hratelnosti a zábavnosti ukázal, jak mohou hry ve 4K vypadat!

Stunning graphics ( I play on Xbox One X), fun to play, car sounds, car handling and races. The introduction of dynamic weather and changing seasons gave the game more life. Weather changes everything from car handling during races. I am glad I bought Ultimate Edition of this game. We welcome the new community of players on Steam.

    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.

    Sin duda el juego del año a la espera de Red Dead, hablamosel mejor juego de conducción jamás creado y el tope técnico en cualquier consola a lo largo de la historia, una barbaridad jugable y graafica sin parangón, no hay lanzamiento esta generación que resista la comparación. Una barbaridad de contenido UTIL off y ON line. El juego de la generación 10/10.

    this is by far the Forza Horizon game ever made up to date. The massive array of cars, the beautiful landscape and the graphics Making me agape because of how smooth and realistic it is also the sound of the cars is jaw dropping. Playground Games keeps stepping up their game and making name for themselves. This is by far my best Horizon experience I've ever have and the best out of the series.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    GRAPHICS: Wow, this game is beautiful. It looks great on a base Xbox One and even more amazing on the Xbox One X with 4K and HDR. The cars have a lot of detail and the customization shows on every car on the server. The game has great scenic areas perfect for taking photos. The worse graphics are lack of options of the drivatars. But that's it.

    PRESENTATION: You get to see and drive all the seasons in the first 10 minutes of the game so the intro is awesome. You also know what your goal is from the beginning, to be invited to the Horizon Circuit. There are in engine cut scenes for major events/races, pre-racing taunting, victory celebrations and the pause menu looks great. It's all great.

    SOUND: The music in this game is fun too. Major races have preset tracks, however most of the time you will be listening to one of the radio stations. All the tracks are great. The cars also sound great. None of them sound the same and sometimes I found myself turning off the radio just to hear the roar of the engines. There's even some fun thrown in with musical horns.

    GAMEPLAY: Let's get straight to it, this game is super fun! It's more than just a racing game. There are "Danger Zones" to discover and perform awesome jumps, collectible billboards to smash and some of them are difficult to get to, speed zones, barns to find vehicles in, wheel spins, and best of all there's a progression system for each car! Want to be the best drag racer? You can focus on your drag cars. Want to be the best off-road racer? You can focus on those vehicles. You can even play the game in co-op (best part of being an Xbox owner is you get to play most games with your friends). This is easily the most simple and fun game I have played in a very long time.    … Expand

My fiancee and I would take turns and it was as fun to watch the person try to keep their poorly handling super car on road. It was like a push your luck game to see how far someone could get without completely flipping the car or flying off the track accidentally doing donuts. There is an insane array of cars so even bad drivers like me can find a car that allows them to stay on the road and compete in races with the AI.

Forza Horizon 4 has Dynamic Seasons which causes the map to be changed completely 4 times not only does it create an amazing scenery it also effects your driving experience for the entire map. In winter Lakes freeze over and you can get to places you haven't gone before there's less traction on the road. In Summer water levels drop and the lakes aren't as deep as of spring the water rises and the land has a lot more mud for those Off Roaders. Or you can find the beauty in the season Fall and just cruise and enjoy the 4K Graphics or the new 60 FPS Mode.
