It's an expansion upon the last game, with a larger map. I'm fine with that formula and am excited to see how they may (or may not) expand upon that formula in games to come, but I have a few pet peeves with this game.

The first, being exclusive cars. I know they do this to keep players coming back, but it's just something I'd rather them not do. Even though there's 500+ cars in the game I still want more lol. Also the grinding is ridiculous and PGG does everything in their power to make it so the grind for credits is harder. I don't understand why they keep doing this. The backwards part about is is that there were microtransactions (tokens) in Horizon 3, and it was arguably EASIER to grind for credits. if you had VIP, you would get double credits permanently.

That was a lot of complaining but even though this game may not be the best in the series, it still gets 5 stars from me because I've been having so much fun playing this game.
