It looks pretty, with some extremely detailed rocks, but more importantly it looks likeForza Horizon. I enjoyed Horizon 4 enough that I’m not looking for Playground Games to reinvent the wheel or any other part of the car. FH5 looks like it again offers the chilled-out fun of speeding across an open landscape while earning points for literally any action, including smashing through every object in your path. It even looks like it has much the same UI, so I don’t need to re-learn any menus. Lower me into that warm soapy water immediately.

The previous game, meanwhile, has been placed into semi-retirement, withfuture updates to Forza Horizon 4 recycling old content rather than adding anything new.
