Okay so as a long time Forza fan I figured a would write a constructive review based on my own experience and not all of the negative Trash talking.
Let’s start with the good stuff…
Physics are awesome and as you would expect from the Forza franchise, graphics are decent except for rain weather need some work there. Gameplay is very smooth and it is satisfying to drive the cars. I do not believe this game is as bad as the reviews make it out to be, I have enjoyed playing it even though I had high expectations.
I actually welcome the practice sessions, they are skippable, but they also give you the opportunity to make a little bit more money and car points if you wish to participate.
The AI in career mode is the best I’ve seen. Not saying it’s perfect but when you’re passing them very close in a straight racing line they don’t tend to just smash into you like every other Forza game.
The bad stuff…
Other than racing on a circuit, there is really not much else to do in this game.
Unfortunately it’s still buggy, some tracks having lag and skipping issues and I’ve experienced 1 freeze and 2 crashes in 15 hours of play.
I think my biggest gripe is the lack of tracks to race on, compared to past titles they left quite a bit out, hopefully they add more in the future.
As simple and clean as this game is, it feels soulless. I feel it is a good driving simulator, but it has no character. The career mode is just MEH. I mean i wasn’t expecting a story or anything but it just doesn’t feel like it has any meaning what so ever. RACE HERE. FINISH. ON TO THE NEXT. I think it is worth buying once the price drops to $20. Or if you have game pass.
Overall, this game is not a catastrophe, but is a letdown after waiting years for it to come out. I’ve played the newest GT on PS5 which has better graphics slightly, but this is way more enjoyable to play and drive. Hopefully they change the car upgrade system and add a hell of a lot more game modes.
