Smoother than expected
**coming from FH3**

Able to run the game with settings set way higher than I expected on my gtx 970. It actually looks stunning. This is a major credit to the team who optimized this game.

As for gameplay, it's more of what you would expect from a horizon game although it seems they have dialed up the "arcade" nature of the game considerably.

The cars are fast and responsive allowing for endlessly fun, reckless driving. If you bought the welcome pack, you will find yourself incredibly grateful for the inclusion of the Apollo. Give it a try if you have it ;)

The tracks are varied and interesting. There is a lot of them too. My only worry is that the infamous "Goliath" track seems a little long this time around and the first third is rather stressful and intense to drive. This CAN make it unenjoyable in a game clearly targeting a casual audience. This may hurt replayability and the eventual endgame of farming goliaths to fund ridiculous in game purchases.

The world is big and beautiful. There are so many different "biomes" to explore along with new weather systems and storms that are incredibly atmospheric. There doesn't seem to be a massive increase in number of roads (~600) over FH3 (~500) but they are noticeably more spread out due to the sheer size of the world, making each one more meaningful rather than just being there to increase a number. It also has the added benefit of making off-road journeys actually journeys now. They are no longer 2 second excursions between neighbouring roads to optimise an already fairly direct route caused by the sheer number of road options in such close proximity in previous games. You may enjoy driving off road cars more because of this.
