This game is way better than Forza Horizon 4 & 5. The customization of visual body parts are a bit limited compared to Forza but it is still all there for the most part. The biggest plus, when compared to Forza, is that The Crew Motorfest nailed the events and races; the over all play style. The open world experience is just so much more to be enjoyed. The map, the interface, the visual elements and the way the parts system works. You can always get better and better stuff and you can craft and expand by combining older parts to make super rare parts. You can even use parts and cash to re-roll the stats on parts. Lastly, and core element of the game that Forza will probably never beat, you can not only drive cars but bikes, boats and planes and switch to them at any point!

This is a great combination of many games that never really made it. I see that the player count has been steady around 40,000 daily; quite impressive. Overall, the game and gameplay is really great. I have about 100 hours on it so far and haven't spent a penny on any of the premium stuff. You can get all the good stuff, you just have to find it in the world and/or craft it. The visuals are amazing, the combat is amazing the crafting is amazing and the general building system is amazing. The whole deviation system is much like a Pokemon feel but it integrates very well with the game. There are only a few vehicles right now but for the size of the game and what mods you can put on them is still pretty good. I must say though. The only thing that needs really touch up is the storage system. Yes, crafting station pull from your crates automatically so you don't have to worry about linking them but if you are trying to find something, in one of your one hundred crates, good luck. Other than that, I'd still give this game a 10/10!

You can climb trees so yes.

I vote no because the controls suck. Boat controls for a mech warrior is not cool bro

The single best thing about this game is the unhinged experience you first got, right here, with this game; no loading screens! You have one continuous visual experience that satisfied us all and continues from there; not even the newer space games that you taught them about video game space travel offer that seamless-unhinged experience of no loading screens.

Yes

Update: I Do Not recommend because you have to play the game just to repair your weapons all of the time and there are daily XP caps that make the traditional RPG style of a game it is no longer fun to play.

With over 200 titles in my Steam library, easily one of the worst games I have every played. Thumbs down Microsoft!

Way better than Forza 5!

Yes

This is a really great game to play with your friends. So much fun!
