This is an early example of DLC turned standalone game. This limited time offer tie-in with the Fast & Furious films provides a short Forza experience featuring cars from the films. It was an easy 100% completion but the short run-time and limited availability makes this a much harder entry to recommend.

Forza Horizon 2 set the stage for the series going forward. Open world map design, massive car rosters, wide variety of race types and more. Horizon 2 has maybe my favorite location in the series so far with a mix of the French and Italian countryside. Like the first game in the series, the servers have since shut down but most of the game is still fully playable and enjoyable offline.

Fans of the Forza Horizon series should definitely give the first entry a try. It is more linear than the sequels, but it oozes with charm and personality. The servers have since been shut down but the bulk of the game features are still available. Players seeking 100% achievement completion may want to avoid the title though.
2017
Fun for a while but plagued with a frustrating playerbase. This is one of those games that started Ubisoft on their quest to make some of the most lackluster games as a service possible. The single player is forgettable, the user interface is standard Ubisoft affair, and the long term health of the servers is grim at best. I don't think it will be long before this game gets The Crew treatment.
2018
Upon release the game was littered with controvery due to the marketing and political climate of the time. Since then it has become among the high points in the series since Far Cry 3. The game ditches the exotic islands and warlord led nations in favor of a satirical version of Montana. My biggest gripe with the game is the divisive ending(s) and how they directly influenced Far Cry New Dawn.

Fallout 4 is far from the best the series has to offer, but it is far from the worst as well. Visually, Fallout 4 takes the art direction to levels some may find cartoony. I don't mind the style and you can always mod the visuals to fit your preferences, even on console! Biggest flaw is the already antiquated Creation Engine and the addition of the Creation Club mod platform.
