Beautiful map, great optimization and a suprisingly engaging singleplayer, this game actually feels rewarding to explore and progress in both the festival events and discovery questlines. This game feels like a much needed course correct for the series.

The only gripe i have is the ai consistency on pro and unbeatable, it's still the same forza ai that blatantly ignores car limitations and physics to compensate but for some reason seems more inconsistently blatant on an event by event basis. if you want to avoid frusturation and avoid constantly tweaking settings id just keep it on expert and call it a day for now.

This game gives me a desire to keep playing that I havent felt since FH3 and I haven't had this much fun driving and racing "slow" cars since FH1. The attention to detail and fedelity between this and FH5 with regards to everything is night and day, the little tweaks, polish and additions they made for this game is to a great standard. The Horizon Festival actually feels like it's lived in and a true festival again, I could not reccomend this game enough, and I can't wait to keep playing!
