Starting today, the first players can access the latest Turn 10 Studios races , so let’s analyze how the production was rated by journalists around the world. It promises to be a strong installment, which unfortunately may lack the expected and announced revolution.
Yesterday, our website published a review of Forza Motorsport , in which Maciej admitted how difficult it was for him to finally evaluate the races. According to our editorial colleague, it is “one of the weakest installments of the series in years” .
Forza Motorsport currently has a rating of 84% (Opencritic) and 85 points (Metacritic), which is a really good result, although let’s be honest, many players expected a much better reception – after all, the developers spent several additional years refining the technology and introducing improvements in the game.
Many journalists appreciate the addictive gameplay with a greater emphasis on realism, solid visuals, extensive network functions, in-depth car customization, and the machine progression system is described as a “satisfying addition”. The texts include praise for physics, artificial intelligence and the improved driving model.
What aspects are highlighted in less favorable reviews? The editors complain about the lack of split-screen and the modest content at the beginning – the big problems are the small number of routes at the beginning and many well-known race variants. In some texts you will find mentions of tiring competition – the AI is so strong that even the smallest mistake excludes us from competing for the highest possible position. Races apparently quickly stop providing “pleasure” because we have no chance to correct our mistakes and return to the competition. One of the regularly mentioned shortcomings is the “boring” graphics, and players note that the developers have not introduced a distinctive style that would influence the overall “artistic vision” of the production. There are also mentions of underdeveloped optimization on PC.
