FH makes a very big deal of it from minute one, first by overexplaining how it works through long-winded tutorials, then by strongarming you into practice sessions, which you can’t skip in favor of the race itself–you have to commit to them, even if it’s only to immediately exit them to go to the big event. Super Car-io RPGįorza Motorsport’s new approach to its core story will split fans, as it introduces a vehicle-led leveling-up system that rewards you with upgrades and abilities based on how long, and how well, you drive any given car. Still, they make sense and work perfectly fine, even if you don’t get the freedom to explore these properly until you complete the Builders Cup: your introduction to the new RPG-influenced Career Mode, which you’re forced to play before you can pick your favorite car and circuit and have fun on your own terms.
The same beauty isn’t found in the game’s menus, which lean a little too much into the notion of Forza Motorsport being a Serious Game for Serious People.
