The forza games are losing their touch, their uniqueness, and are getting more tone deaf than NFS unbound to the car and racing game community than ever. From Horizon5 being a DEI mess that feels like a checkmark list game that makes it inferior to FH4, to now this game that I don't even understand what it wants to be.

Here's the things I found interesting and love about Forza Motorsport. The car selection is amazing, and far superior to FH5. While FH series keep getting hyper cars thinking that's all the players want, this game has more common man car list than FH5 or NFS unbound, like the porsche 944 or the 928, a bunch of renault cars and other smaller cars which are fun to drive and give far more variety. Also the graphics are better in a way, but also not. Oh and the "practice" runs are nice too.

Ok that's it for the good.

Now what's the bad, and I'm going to write this like a rant.

Why is the penalty system terrible? Why do I get a 4 second penalty for the AI crashing into me? Why does the AI like to spin me out like they're doing a pit maneuver every corner that I perfect, like if I stole a bunch of jewlery? Honestly the amount of times I wanted this game to be a GTA game so I could shoot the drivers are too many that I lost count. EVERYTHING in the driving is scuffed, like for whatever reason every car feels the same, RWD cars all like to spinout, FWD have an understeer fetish and 4WD don't know which one to be of the previous two. And if that wasn't enough, then you have the RNG "will you spin?" lottery, and lastly the magnets on the grass are strong and will make your car drift more into the grass than it should. OH and shall we not forget the wonderful progression system? I understand they want you to play more with a specific car insteand of multiple, but this is not the way to make it! Forcing the player to use the same car over and over again to get "car XP" is not the way.

I tried playing this game again and again, taking breaks, waiting for the game to get updated for a while before trying it again and I'm done. I just can't deal with this game anymore.

Don't buy, if FM7 is still around get that instead.

Wow they back-pedalled on that one and only took 3 days of continuous bombardment from the community.

The game is still trash and not worth investment though.

So here we are. 3 months of complete trash from a company that used to be good at making games now doing this.
>Factions got rebalanced 4 times in the span of the game (3 months as the writing of this);
>Returning factions that had already been wiped because the cry of the community when they don't understand the concept that the war could end;
>Guns got nerfed to the ground and buffed slightly to be nerfed again;
>The most trash anti-cheat system ever implemented to a game, just to say there is one;
>DLC push so it can get nerfed a week later so there's no meta(i.e. every gun does trash damage);
>Useless upgrades that require you to grind for 30 to 40 hours;
>FRIEND SYSTEM STILL NOT FIXED;
> I totally forgot but remember when their community managers and discord managers being the worse ♥♥♥♥ in the community as well? On discord they kept saying "be civil" while banning anyone talking ♥♥♥♥ about arrowhead and Snoy.
>Also remember, the lead of arrowhead was also doubling down on this. That trash person is no saint.

If it wasn't for mods making this game bearable, my play time would be far less.

Take the L arrowhead.

Orbit Zero: Corpo simulator.

I had my eyes on this game for a while after one of the curators I follow reviewed this game, and I have to say it didn't disappoint. I'll start by saying that this is more than a clicker game by far. It's more simple than it looks, in a nutshell is a CEO corporation simulator where you have to micromanage a bunch of things until you can make them automated.

There are so many things to say and love about this game that got me hooked, and got my friends laughing while doing CEO decisions. From controlling how the employees of your company are helped, to how you deal with other companies, there are so many things you can do which makes the game fun. I love the fact this game doesn't have tutorials, as it allows you to explore and learn at your own pace.

It's not all great news though. Some things are not consistent like the value of products you can sell, the employees demands become hard to keep up with later, and money making is also complicated in some ways. I have gone more indepth about these problems and inconsistencies on the forums.

In short, it's a lovely game for the price, one I wish to play again and hope it's issues get fixed so I can actually enjoy playing from the start and actually finishing (currently, finishing the game seems rather complicated.)

>Weakest FH game of all time;
>Weakest DLCs of all time;
>seasons don't matter anymore and doesn't change visually at all other than the damn mountain;
>taking forever to bring cars from previous games over
>NEW micros-transactions to get cars. Remember Forza horizon 3?

jesus H christ guys.

It's good for people who never played any of the id games. But give me quake 2 any day of the week over this.

Although, personal opinion, I don't think it's worth the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

I'm sorry but the PvP element in this game just makes no sense. It feels forced. I expected a wave based system in the way of mixing EDF with L4D, and this feels more like a F2P game in the sense of game feel. It isn't great and feels soulless. Extremely disappointed but hey, just my opinion on it.

"The mayor going 45 in a school zone?" Your character comments, as he/she goes 200 head on into several civilians, cops, other racers and everything that moves or can be destroyed. This is the game's logic in general.

I feel like I can finally write about this terrible game after the launch window. Let me start off by just straight up saying it's terrible, don't buy it. This isn't Criterion Games, barely anyone from 10 years ago is there, so if you had fond memories of something like Hotpursuit, then forget it this aint it chief.

I'll be brief with my disgust on this game. I bought the "Palace Edition" and I cry my money every day. The effects are ugly, the lead art dev deserves to have the worse diarrhea ever recorded to a human being, and the music is so bad it's catering to kids, but a very specific culture of kids, the ones who want to be popular on IG or YT without having a personality. You know what I mean?

Anyway, it has good customization but, I couldn't finish it. It got extremely boring. Disgustingly repetitive. Wants to implement Forza horizon elements into it, and fails, and if anything I miss Ghost the most. They should just return to develop more NFS games, 2015 wasn't that bad compared to this abomination.

the space colony roguelike.

Quick note: Notice the many negative reviews have about 5 hours or less. I wish to touch on this subject later as it's pitiful to negate a game because of it's challenge.

Have you ever heard reality being more scary than science fiction when talking about space? This has to be one of the very few games that show that aspect, a sense of fantasy space events mixed with what we (vaguely) know that makes exploration interesting, but scary as well.I barely have any words to describe the game other than amazing , both on the game concept and on the story telling..... as someone who put 49.4 hrs on the first playthrough and played the demo atleast 5 times, I just love this game.

So, administrator, your job is to build a tiny civilization in your rotating donut ship, the Tiqqun, as you "kinda" blow up the moon after activating a prototype space jump engine, live to tell the tale, get to see the horrors of your doing AND of humanity, the advanced civilizations, and the amazing science fiction weirdness. No, really, at times this game's story feels like you're in the weird space of WH40k with it's space anomalies, but instead of the armored cathedral ship made to destroy planets, you have a slowly decaying old ship that is kept together with flex tape, bubble gum and your hopes and dreams (because spit wouldn't work in space).

As you constantly fix your ships slow disintegration, you also build a tiny civilization inside that's divided by sectors where you need to attend to all your peoples needs, be it health, happiness, Mc. Insect burger demands with extras fries, and the ever so odd number of worker to non worker population. Within this colony you also need to store resources and get production going so you can build goods for your population and equipment for your space ship. Added to that you have power management and decision making on top, where not all the decisions you can make are good ones, negative effects will ALWAYS find a way to affect you even if you try to avoid them, and you need to counter that however you can. And as you progress through the game, the difficulty bumps up slowly but surely. This game's difficulty progression could be compared to you going to a pool that is ankle high at one end, but the more you travel to the other end, the deeper it goes and you end the game with water at the very edge of your face, and your feet barely touching the ground.

But before you go thinking this is a micromanagement hellhole, it isn't. Endzone: a world apart IS a micromanagement disgusting creation (I don't dare call it a "game"), this is not, which leads me to the next point

The Rant on the deplorable state of the negative reviews:

The game isn't perfect, but the negativity on the reviews are hilarious. In a very big nutshell, about 80% of the negative reviews can be summed up to "It's unfair and unbalanced". I'm not here with the Dark Souls mentality to tell you to "git gud", but you bought a game that says right at the start "IXION is not an easy game. Space is a dangerous place; the Tiqqun station will face many trials (...) We want IXION to be a challenge, to reflect the fragility of space travel, for the player to be on the edge of their seat as the hull integrity ticks down (...)" and you STILL b**ch and moan on how unfair the game is, then you my friend are a clown and you do deserve the natural selection filtering.
Added insult to injury, the people who negatively reviewed the game are on the official discord begging for the game to be dumbed down and that ignoring the peasant player community is a bad thing, even though 11Bit Studios has proven that's incorrect with games such as This War of mine and Frostpunk.

Rant over

Before I finish I will point out the game isn't perfect, specifically the optimization. I might not have the best PC nowadays (RTX 2060 and a ryzen 1600x with 32 gb of ram) but it does chug, specially towards the later chapters of the game, and also feels like it might suffer from memory leaks from time to time. I also noticed bugs with names, and have suffered a game breaking bug in chapter 4 where I lost over 5 hours of my life because I had no objectives due to a cutscene fault and had to restart the entire chapter. This has been posted on the forums in hopes that it gets fixed, or maybe already has been fixed. Who knows. Had no game crashes tho! So there's that.

So... Ixion. What a ride.

I waited for a full year for this game, and unlike CarX Street being a disappointment for delaying again, this didn't disappoint. It's an amazing game about a pioneer ship with prototype tech, shaped like a donut (and as strong as one too), flying through space and interacting with fascinating points of interest that are fantasy/realistic in the deep void. All I hope now is that the game doesn't get dumbed down to a baby level. That's all I want for christmas.

Thanks for reading! Comments are on if you want to say something idk

Line puzzle.

Oh my I can finally post the negative review on this trash software, programmed by 9 year olds who got over 25 million USD in combined investment? And mention how it's a second life private lobby nsfw fest everywhere? And how the community has gone to s**t? "Bro just send me a request I'll let you in!" lie simulator?

Holy s**t hell yeah dude
