Best Games of October 2018, According to Metacritic
2) Forza Horizon 4 – Metacritic Score: 92
The Forza Motorsport spin-off series, Horizon, returned once again last month, and it has cemented its place as the best the Forza name has to offer.
This time, the Horizon festival has made its way to the UK. It’s a very rough version of the northern counties and the areas surround Edinburgh, but this time it’s not an exclusively summer festival. Spring, Autumn, and Winter are all thrown into the mix this time, with rain giving you the perfect British feel, and they’re all as beautiful as each other.
The seasons even affect the racing itself, changing grip levels and the best paths on particular roads. Then, on top of the new visual variety, the fantastic driving mechanics and race structure return from previous entries. At times, when the visuals, speed, and music choice all come together in a showcase event, it feels like it’s showing off. Horizon 4 is the best open world racing game on current-gen systems, and it knows it.
