These require you to help out one of the festival organizers find the perfect spot for the base camp by smashing open boxes, placing radio station signal boosters, discovering iconic landmarks and other objectives. To unlock each new stage of the Festival though, you’ll need to embark on something completely new for the series in Expeditions. The festival is divided up into several stages - the Horizon Apex area is focused on Road Racing, for example, while Horizon Wilds is all about Dirt Racing, Horizon Baja is Cross-Country racing, Rush is PR Stunts and Street Scene is Street Racing - each with their own Horizon Story, Showcase (except for Street Racing), and epic endurance event to round things out. While the events that you’ll partake in largely remain the same from previous events, each one earns you Accolades which, in turn, unlock the next chapter of your Horizon Adventure. Things have changed a little bit when it comes to the actual campaign progression itself, though. And prove it you will by partaking in showcase events that see you hurtling down the side of active volcanoes, embarking on excursions through ancient temples, launching yourself off ramps to set new Danger Sign records, and, of course, winning plenty of races. Having already honed your skills at countless festivals before this latest excursion to Mexico, you’re just there to prove a point. An epic racing event teeming with drivers looking to prove their skills and cement themselves in the gas-scented history books alongside the greats that have come before them. You’re dropped into a new real-world location as the Horizon Festival kicks off. An extensive sandbox of varied terrain, ramps, adrenaline-pumping showcase events, and a veritable selection of cars, trucks, and buggies than I could ever dream of having in my matchbox collection.įor those that have played a Forza Horizon game before, the format of the latest entry is going to feel rather familiar. It’s the digital evolution of how I spent countless hours in my childhood. Several times when I was playing Forza Horizon 5, I realized why the game feels so great to play. Swiftly sent back indoors, I’d sometimes then construct ramps out of store catalogs and magazines and hurtle the cars up and over, imagining the driver inside putting the pedal firmly to the floor as they soared over a death-defying jump. Ever since I was a kid, pushing toy models of Ferraris, Jaguars, Lamborghinis, and Lotus around my parent’s living room was a favorite pastime - drifting around the kitchen’s vinyl floor, then going full off-road by taking them outside, where the little plastic tires were often shredded to pieces on the stone floor, much to the frustration of my parents.
