Other than the story, this game is amazing. The previous games you worked your way up to becoming the Horizon champion, that felt rewarding. All you do is quick little side missions for different types of people around the map but there was no depth to them.
While the map is massive with so many things to do (Bonus boards, Speed Traps, Stunts, and much more) the story really didn't draw me in like the last Horizon games. My only reason I didn't give this a 5 stars is because I felt the story was lackluster. Customization is unreal, you can turn your car into whatever your imagination can come up with. The cars are so detailed down to every inch of the interior. The weekly seasons are such a nice refresh, every week it feels like a new game. The mechanics are top notch, controls feel solid and realistic, not too arcade style like Need for Speed but more user friendly than Forza Motorsport 7. I'm the type of person who loves graphics and this one really blew me away. Let me tell you, this is one of the most incredible looking games I have ever seen.
Defender 110 Please! Its my dream car,and Id love to see one come into the game! And how do you find/buy the 1970's Range Rover? I see it in adds, and in game driving around, but do not see it in the store! Where do I find it?įirst things first, I am playing this game on an Xbox One X connected to a Sony 4K TV with HDR. Love it otherwise! And my little Request for the team. Also some of the car sounds need to be patched as they are not accurate anymore. I feel cheated, and its a complete waste of wheel spin.
I know the idea behind it, and how it ties to the rest of the game but its really aggravating when thats all you get on wheel spins. The 2 downfalls are though some of the car sounds, and the clothing feature added in. The cars are refined, and the wheel view is appreciated.
The update in graphics quality and physics rendering is a welcome one, and I play on one x, so it takes full advantage of the new updates. I have been with the turn 10 franchise since horizon 3, so my saying is only limited to my experience, but that being said, this game is amazing. That's the only downfall for me, but my kids think it's cool, so to each his own. And I really hate not seeing what happens after you cross the finish line.
My only complaint is the completion "room" you end up in while getting victory points and also while starting new races. The car packs are a good selection, the car pass is a great way to score new cars each week, and I'm sure the expansions will be worth it when they come out too. VIP status really helps score more credits sooner and also win better cars. As for the Ultimate edition, it is definitely worth the extra $$$. This game should keep me busy for quite a while. There's also new tangents of play like business and career. Lots of new vehicles and some upgrades to the player interface that make it much better than 3 - for example you can swap cars anywhere without getting charged for a delivery. So far it's excellent with great new challenges. I have played through the first year and attained roster status. All the great Horizon features on a whole new continent. Then went back to play 2 and have been waiting for 4 all summer.
Lastly, I do not like the fact that certain cars could only be won through chance and cannot be purchased with credits you earned in-game.ĭespite these problems, the game is still a nice entry to the series and with weekly content and changes you can get a lot of hours and enjoyment with this game. However, my main problem is that the AI could be improved and certain AI can outperform you in the cross-country section if you turned on Simulation damage and steering.
Also, when you are playing through the game via singleplayer other players will also be ghosted out so they cannot deliberately grief or annoy you. For example, the NPCs cars will ghost out and cannot hit you when you are doing a speed trap or drift run challenge. They also address and fixed some issues from Horizon 3. (Will provide some in-game captures from the game down below)
I am playing the game on a Original Xbox One and 1080P TV and it still holds up well. The game's visual looks stunning and captivating. The game taking place in the UK is a great touch and the added seasons make each race feel fresh and different. Forza Horizon 4 is a nice addition to the Horizon series.
