Game captured me in the first 5 minutes its like pure fun and joy. Quick and exciting intro then thrown straight into the game no boring setup teaching me how to drive forwards.

Can’t believe I have denied myself such a perfect game all this time

  • Yeah Forza Horizon is probably one of the best arcade racers right now, with the downfall of Need For Speed and Burnout (I’d recommend checking them out if you missed out on their peak during the 2000s), it was never a direct competitor to Gran Turismo. The competitor to Gran Turismo is Forza Motorsport, and it’s downright sad what happened to that game series in the last few years. Went from such good games during the Xbox 360 era, to whatever it is now.

      Forza motorsport is pure dookie. I am very fond of old arcade racers and completely slept on forza horizon because i just assumed arcade racers are all mid now but it really just captures that arcade racing feel of just making me happy. The intersection of nice music, colourful visuals and speed are chefs-kiss
