In Forza Horizon 4 the sky is the limit. There is so much to do, so much to see, and so much fun to have this easily is the best racing game I have played to date. The UK setting is a perfect backdrop for this massive open world map. There is a ton of places to explore and visit with a surprisingly high level of real world accuracy, and an seemingly endless supply of races and events to participate in. There is also a very diverse selection of race types so you hardly ever get bored and no race feels the same as the last. Storming through the fields and hills of the countryside going upwards of 250 mph in my Ferrari Evo was thrilling and sometimes even more preferable than fast travel. There are plenty of story missions and they all add nice flavor and depth to the game, even if the story is a bit shallow and lighthearted. The graphics and attention to detail is superb, this game looks and feels like a newly released game. There is a massive list of cars to collect, over 700, and all of them are fun to drive and customize. Driving feels smooth and precise and each car has its own distinct feel to it. You can even make your own custom liveries and tunes for cars which can be downloaded and rated by the community. This game is friendly to people new to racing games while also providing a challenge for the experienced racers.

FH4 conceptually is perfect for an online game, its really cool to see other drivers in your lobby racing by you or attempting the same stunts as you. The multiplayer modes of the game were a lot of fun. You can do all types of single races or series of races, compete against everyone or on a team, you can also make custom challenges for others to attempt, and a lot more. My favorite online mode was the Eliminator which was a battle royale type mode, this mode really got me on the edge of my seat and I enjoyed the challenge. In some of the team online modes there are some really long wait times between races which can be a drag though this isn't an issue in all online modes. There are also frequent lobby connectivity issues after races but thankfully it doesn't take long to reconnect and its not necessary. The DLC's are both awesome and bring a hefty injection of content. I was hooked on the Lego DLC, it was very nostalgic and exciting to race and crash around the Lego map and have Lego debris scatter and flying everywhere it was a blast. There were actually times I was having so much fun in this game I would have to take a moment to pause the game and just reflect on how much fun I am having. Forza Horizon 4 is an adventure I wish didn't have to end but luckily there is so much content it never feels like it does. This is truly a creme de la creme racing game and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Shame, you can't buy Hot Wheels DLC anymore. Servers are somewhat stable, but not enough. Despite this, I pretty much enjoy spending my time here, than in Forza Horizon 5. Go get it before game's forever gone.

Beautiful game ♥

My game kept crashing to desktop after the first Autumn race, I solved this by switching from WIFI to LAN, the crash stopped and I was able to switch back to WIFI.
