The racing is good, as expected from forza, but there are serious QoL and mechanical issues otherwise. The most egregious being that at several points in the game you will be shown 90-120 second unskippable advertisements for the DLC. You cant do anything while NPC's are talking, cutscenes in general are unskippable, you cant set the temperature to celsius and distances to metric without changing the speedo to metric too. One of the things that bothered me most is that you cannot mute the music. The lowest radio volume is 1, which is still very audible, and although you can turn off the radio certain missions will turn it back on. Its annoying if you want to listen to your own music and are constantly having to turn the radio back off.

Again, racing's great, customisation is fine (body customisation feels lacking compared to competitors), the map is interesting and varied, the seasons are really neat. It's just super let down by it's lack of polish in places.

the secret levels be aging me 10 years a go fr

how did they manage to make overwatch worse

Great fun, unique and funny game events. It's such a shame that after so long you get to see everything, with continued support it could have really extended its life. I'd love a sequal on switch, perhaps with nintendo app integration and share mechanics? Sending my friends who I'd made in the game their wacky goings on was a great point of fun in the original, I don't think it was really capitalised on here.

I cannot exaggerate how much they fumbled the bag with this one. It would already be hard to live up to tekken 3 but the engine changes really makes the game suffer. With the majority of the cast feeling really slow and clunky to use. For me, at least, I'm not willing to trade that responsiveness and freedom of movement for destructible stages and a graphical upgrade.
