Forza Horizon is back and it's as big as ever, hoon around a truncated Mexico for three laps at a time almost without exception in far too many cars for your own good.

I happened to jump into a user-generated race and apparently didn't pay close enough attention because I ended up in a four-lap single-car dirt race over about four minutes worth of terrain per lap, and it really shook me out of realising how samey all the game's standard races are.

Also, the game crashes constantly if you have a Fanatec wheel. lmao. I don't think I'll get much more out of this until it's fixed in the new year, which is a shame.
