What is it about?
The Horizon festival is going to the UK with more cars, racers and challenges.
What I liked?
Starting the game you are greeted with an intro of all the different type of seasons and racers.
Starting the Horizon festival with one car and slowly making your way to bigger and better events
This game rewards you not by winning the game but participating in the events. Whether you win or lose, you will level up to gain more credits and perks.
There are 2 different perks you can get which is Wheelspin and Super Wheelspin. Basically is like getting loot but you can't win it buy paying money for it. Loots that you can win are In-game credits, emote (winning poses), Car Horns (there is a Windows shutdown horn) and of course cars. Legendary cars are harder to get but the feeling of getting something rare is awesome
There are more than 450 cars form more than 100+ manufactures. There are also rare Forza Edition cars that only can be obtain via wheelspin.
There are custom tracks that the community design that provides a good way to earn a lot of credits
Other things to do besides race:
There are story missions that range from a stunt race set, a British documentary, a Super car rental spot and a gaming blogger to name a few. You get to drive cool cars for each mission which are too expensive to own.
There are around 200 boards around the map that gives you influence and fast travel. There are mostly like a treasure hunt.
You can buy property all around UK. The cheapest house is 200,000cr and the most expensive house is the Edinburgh castle which is around 15,000,000cr.
Another cool thing is the barn find which gives you exclusive rare cars.
The seasons
There are 4 seasons in the map, each season which is Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter provides different environment for the tracks. They also offer different seasonal races.
What I didn't liked?
The grind... The racers provide a small amount of credit. You need to buy the VIP pass just to earn double the amount. The good thing about the game is that there is no micro transaction so everything needs to be earn by in game.
Some racers you can't beat unless you have a faster car than the opponent. Which cost more credits. The good thing about that is you earn a lot of cars from the wheelspin. So hopefully you can get lucky
Status: Played the game, finish all the racers and the seasonal events. Since the game constantly changes every week. The seasonal tracks is a reason to come back and play. The Fortune Island expansion just come out, so now I am playing that...
Verdict: One of the best racing games I've played in a long while. The reason I borrowed a friends Xbox and got Gamepass to play it. Game of year is going to be hard on me.
