    This last iteration of Forza was awful. If that’s how it was going to be for this franchise going forward, good riddance. I’m sorry for the human impact this has though, that parts not lost on me. But the product was complete shit. Leaves a cavern sized hole in the market now. Forza has had a monster sized impact on the genre. That cannot be ignored.

      I have not played a Forza game since the first one. What did they do to muck it up? I assume the usual live service / micro transactions cancer.

        The Horizons are just literally too much, they are overwhelming. Yet at the same time, they start to feel repetitive, like there will be a few good speed challenges or a handful of races that are enjoyable. Other than that, there’s so much, yet it feels so dead.

        Forza Motorsports, the latest iteration was straight up trash. The online multiplayer has been wrecked by people that just outright cheat, like it’s so bad it’s blatantly obvious. You have no way of winning if you aren’t cheating, and most likely will end up in a pileup somewhere in the back because no one can drive. The story mode has been wrecked by a progression system that just literally makes no sense. It’s arguably a fairly attractive game to look at, but totally empty inside.

        For me, it’s become like the Madden series. That is, it’s just not fun anymore. It looks and sounds great but that is it.

        Especially compared to Forza Horizon. Forza Horizon 3 and 5 are just fun to play and feel more interactive.
