Overall

Although good this game has a lot of issues the game released in and still is in a buggy state and even moving by that this game just feels inferior compared to Horizon 4 the map for this game just doesn't feel anywhere near as good as 4's alongside the complete lack of weather and seasons, sure seasons are there but there is basically no difference between them besides a light drizzle in freeroam and heavy rain in the seasonal races (which is scripted) but there is a distinct lack of any difference 4 had snow, rain and all sorts of weather this game has nothing besides a sandstorm which in 152 hours of playtime since day 1 I have not seen in freeroam even once.

Car Models

Some of the car models are abysmal with models from Horizon 2 (8 year old game) still being recycled such as the R32 GTR and the S15 model from the first Motorsport game (17 year old game) which doesn't even really look like an S15 as well as a large amount of other models that lack the love and attention that some other cars have been given.

Conclusion

This game is good don't get me wrong and I do still recommend it to anyone who loves cars or wants a solid racing game but it's far away from what it could be and far away from being the best horizon game. Side note it's now 6 months after release and there is yet to be a single expansion released compared to other Horizons which receive them usually by January (3 months after release) but hopefully this means it adds a significant amount of content that makes it bearable to play this game once again but this does mean the game (at time of review) is very stale and is just recycled cars from old Forza games that playground label as new when they release new seasons every month.
