Things kick off with a race to the location, followed by a huge showcase that puts you against a rather stylish opponent to show just how crazy the events will get. “Boss” isn’t just your title either instead of being told where and when to race, you start with a small festival on the southeast corner of the island known as Byron Bay.
There are hundreds of names and you’ll get to hear your employee as well as your computer assistant say it whenever they speak to you, helping you truly feel like the boss. While those are a bit forgettable (since you are so limited), the addition of having the game say your name was definitely welcome (especially since they actually had my name in there). You’re no longer a faceless driver, since you can now choose between a handful of pre-made avatars that will represent you during cutscenes. Forza Horizon 3 even lets you choose who you’re playing as… sort of. You’re playing by your own rules, and that adds a new layer of control to the whole experience. This time, most people already know you’re a badass and you’ve decided to bring the world-famous Horizon festival to Australia to take advantage of the country’s varied landscape and gorgeous backdrops. A series of challenges awaited you, and you had to keep on your A-game to make a name for yourself. In the previous two Forza Horizon games, you were just a driver looking to prove yourself to the world as you show up out of practically nowhere and dominate the festival. That change comes in the form of the player becoming the boss of it all. So instead of turning the game on its head, the developers decided to change how you, the player, interacts with Horizon. Of course, reinventing the wheel isn’t an easy task, nor was it something necessary for Playground Games to do (don’t fix what ain’t broke, right?). Forza Horizon 3 is the latest in the open-world spin-off component of the franchise that’s aimed to expand on both those focuses. While the Horizon series has primarily focused on arcade-style racing, which makes it much more accessible than some of its competitors, it has also always delivered on depth that offers something worthwhile for the more hardcore members of the fan base. Forza has been known for some time as the racing game to beat.
