I had really high hopes for this game and stayed up last night (as you do) until the clock struck midnight for release, eager to get behind the wheel for a spin around the Lake District of England. That part was fun, the driving's as good as FH3 and the visuals are eye-popping...then come the avatars, emotes and dancing idiots.
This game now wants us to adapt the 'Horizon Lifestyle' and dress up in silly clothes. Fine, but all I want to do is drive around like a lunatic and not watch dancing avatars poncing around on a stage. Who cares what what you look like when you're driving at 200mph anyway?
Wheel-spins lean heavily towards outfits, horns and other nonsense and the emphasis on styling our characters is quite nauseating actually and I feel Playground Games seem to have taken a leaf out of Forza Motorsport 7's (Turn 10) book of ideas, bearing in mind the stupid avatars they came up with.
Okay, we can ignore all that crap up to a point, but I have a feeling they've lowered the bar in this game, maybe by playing too much Fortnite in their tea breaks.
