Amazing addition. As good as the tarmac racing is, the offroad races were some of my favourites.
I'm getting strong Sega Rally vibes from this!

I've always preferred tarmac sprints above all else in the series, but kind of nice to be forced out of that comfort zone a little, seeing as that's pretty much all that the HW expansion was.

I'm about 20 hours into this but I'm not sure how much longer it's going to hold my attention. The driving is fun and it looks nice, but the map and menus are overwhelming, and it does feel a little directionless and repetitive.
I was going to buy this, partly to tide me over until the proper Forza game comes out, partly to test my fancy new gaming laptop, but the laptop came with three free months of Gamepass. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't.

Filter the map and do what you think is most fun. I dropped off this one but I always played the online modes more than anything.
Also try FH4 and see if the change of map helps

Yeah, maybe I should try the online stuff. Or maybe I should bin it off so I'm not all raced out when FM arrives.

definitely try out some of the user generated content, they feature a bit of it on the playlist each week but every now and then people will post cool stuff on reddit as well

it really is crazy what people have managed to do

It’s definitely one of those games in which you get out what you put in and if you're not massively into it, it’s pretty underwhelming.
This was my first Horizon game and I had no idea what I was doing. It seemed aimless and overwhelmingly confusing. I felt like a pensioner playing Fortnite. However, it was around the 20 hour mark that it started clicking. I focused on the events I thought I’d like most and then began to chip away at the map icons in whatever order suited my mood.
It definitely helped turning up the difficulty to make the events feel like a bigger deal. Otherwise you’re kinda just cruising between events and then cruising through those events.

Defo turn the difficulty up to max, turn off the assists too - although that does hamstring you slightly when racing others online

I, on the other hand, always choose when it I get the "you're winning the races easily! Would you like to up the difficulty for more rewards?" Because no, there will always be an event where I win by the skin of my teeth, and I'd rather not lose to AI. In online races, sure, but I'll be damned if random drivatar beats me in a street race.
