Gets better EVERY time!The Horizon series has always been a more accessible game than the Motorsport counterpart in the Forza line-up. First it was America, then Italy, then Australia and now Britain (my home country).
This game has taken all of the great things from the previous 3 instalments and got rid of everything that people found boring so all that was left was a solid engaging game on a beautiful backdrop of lush countryside.
There are plenty of cars as usual to select however there some manufactures not included (Mitsubishi for example). The Aston Martin line up and British car brands are in full swing as you'd imagine and a
007 James Bond car pack which is really cool for the fans of the movies!
The multiplayer can be both Co-op and PvP/Rivals so you can take your pick, everything goes towards your progress no matter what. The achievements are fairly easy however there is one that is time based (seasonal PR stunt).
OverallPros
- Lush landscape with more breakable objects than before
- Seasonal events and challenges so you can make the most of a limited event and rewards
- Fantastic multiplayer crossover with Xbox and Windows 10
- Best parts of all the Horizon series with the bad things removed
- 4K support at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps
- Game included in Xbox Game Pass
Cons
- Missing common manufacturer cars
- Servers are slow and unstable (at least currently)
- Sound glitches on the Xbox version
- Co-Op championships do not work correctly
- Lack of direction half way through the story (aimless)
- Treasure Maps cost real money and are needed without a guide to get the last barns and beauty spots.
