20 Best Video Games Of 2018
8. Forza Horizon 4
Games like Forza Horizon 4 give me hope that the return of arcade racing is almost here, because Turn 10 and Playground Games have found a way to make their offshoot Forza franchise infinitely more fun and charming than the main instalments.
Horizon 4 is nothing short of their greatest achievement. Everything from the most in-depth car customisation you've ever seen to a stunning landscape comprising idyllic English countryside makes for a pure car racing experience; one with a steady learning curve you can modulate and refine along the way.
XP is doled out based on difficulty modifiers as always, and the game wastes no time putting you behind some of the most impressive motors on Earth. Stunt missions, collectibles that unlock cars, a seasonal map where the devs themselves tweak weather patterns each week - Forza Horizon 4 is Burnout Paradise-style adrenaline junkie racing done on a large, sprawling map, but with one of the best overall presentations in the business.
