The player participates in the Horizon Festival, a fictional racing competition set within Southern France and Northern Italy. Gameplayįorza Horizon 2 is a racing video game, featuring an open world environment. What developer Playground Games has added, however, is a far richer world that’s exponentially denser with rewarding racing and exploration content. As usual, supercars feel crisp and sharp, SUVs feel suitably soggy, and everything seems honed to let you heave your cars into corners with two glorious fistfuls of opposite lock. Like Horizon before it, they all feel distinct from one another too, thanks to the Forza series’ familiar, top-quality driving dynamics. The eclectic roster of 200+ lavishly detailed cars here ranges from cult coupes to hypercars, and it’s the best line-up in the open-world racing business. Forza Horizon 2 rebottles the winning formula established by its predecessor, albeit with a heaped tablespoon of new and improved ingredients.
