Forza Horizon 4
Whether you’re a hardcore auto-nerd or just someone who’s wondered what it’s like to tear through the Lake District in a pimped-out supercar, you won’t find a better racing game than this
Crossing the finish line in a racing game has never felt as inconsequential as it does in Forza Horizon 4.
That’s by no means knocking the latest entry in Playground Games’ rubber-burning series: the simple act of driving, while soaking up some of the most gorgeous sights ever to grace a game, is so satisfying that competing hardly seems to matter.
Whether tackling one of over two dozen career paths or simply pootling around the game’s sprawling, shared open world, Forza Horizon 4always feels fresh. All of the vehicles handle differently – more so if you dive into the customisation options (see panel opposite) – while the sheer number of varied activities and objectives ensures you’re never doing the same thing for very long.
