Personally was more of a horizon 3 fan but both were peak. Crazy how recent Forza games are technically superior in most ways but just feel so much less rewarding and engaging

Played some racing games as a kid but not “my thing” until this past year, fell in love with FH1 completed it and now I’m the middle of 2, I pretty much have all but one or titles left, it’s been a minute, thanks for reminding me lmao, I’ve heard the “newer game is soulless” narrative a lot, must be true, tragic🥀 At least the og’s are still available to play without the servers

I loved horizon 3 as well, but I found the less directed story a bit aimless (a problem which has only gotten worse with each follow up) and I don’t think they did as much as they could have with the setting. The locations were great, I loved the dlc, but it felt like there was a lot of space that was just there to make the map seem bigger than it was.

It was also a downgrade in terms of visuals quite a bit with legacy model cars, since Horizon 2 had the benefit of being able to use the lighting engine and graphics of Motorsport 5. And while I loved the jungle and beach stuff, I really do miss the 𝘥𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 FH2 had. The game was practically sold on that at E3. 20 layers of rain that look 10% better than 99% of games in 2026, and it got cut from subsequent games in favor of larger maps

Valid I just prefer it cause I played it a lot more tbh so it’s more nostalgic for me. But I 100% agree the aimlessness and lack of satisfying progression in each newer entry is really what kills the newer games for me
