The Forza series, both Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport, is a shining example of what racing games should be. With stunning visuals, fantastic attention to detail, and an impressive lineup of cars, these games have set the bar high for the genre and consistently delivered exceptional racing experiences.

Starting with Forza Horizon, this spinoff series takes the racing genre to new heights with its open-world environments and dynamic festival system that is the main core of each Installment. The Horizon games offer an unrivalled sense of freedom and exploration, allowing players to cruise through breathtaking landscapes, participate in thrilling races, and discover hidden treasures. What sets the Forza Horizon series apart is its ability to strike the perfect balance between realism and accessibility. The driving mechanics feel responsive and satisfying, offering a rewarding experience for both casual players and racing enthusiasts depending on how easy/difficult they want their racing to be. The customization options for cars are extensive, allowing players to fine-tune their vehicles to suit their preferred playstyles.

The only criticism the Forza series faced since day one was it being an exclusive game for Xbox and PC only as it is created by Microsoft studios who owns the Xbox franchise. PlayStation and Nintendo players cannot play this game on their consoles, thus making its online multiplayer experience limited with not as many payers active unlike games like Need for Speed, which can be played through cross-platform format.
