Help me I have an addiction

power washer go brrrrrr

This game is the best thing I've played in a long time.
It's worth every penny and more.

As of now I would not recommend this game.
Some of the major bugs have been fixed, but if you want to play Forza just go play 4.
Too many broken daily challenges/accolades/achievements
Online is barely functional and servers are worse than Horizon 4.
Forzathon Live was replaced with Horizon Arcade and is just terrible.

Also this was the case in the previous game, but the game devs love unnecessary censorship.

The story missions are pretty good and the game visually looks and sounds fantastic.
The car selection is vast and still expanding, with infinite customization.

If the bugs are fixed and the servers are stabilized, this would definitely be a positive review. But as of 11/29/2021 you're better off buying Forza Horizon 4 on sale for 65% off.

EDIT: a week later and the game has been updated with major bugfixes. Dozens of accolades fixed and many issues with online functionality (especially convoys) has been fixed. Still a lot of small issues on their bug list, but have not come across anything game breaking. Devs are putting out major patches every couple weeks, so the amount of bugs will almost certainly decrease over time (maybe probably).
The servers for online racing are still very slow, but I have not had any recent problems with disconnecting.
Servers are about the same as Forza Horizon 4, except Horizon Life still appears fairly empty.
And best of all, Horizon Arcade now scales the point requirement with number of participants, so it is actually possible to win. More variety of minigames compared to Forzathon Live, so it is actually superior now.

I'm not crying, you're crying

A short, fun puzzle game about a man fulfilling his dream.

Pros:
cool puzzle design, especially the final boss
nice art style
epic music
demon waifus [Cerberus best girl(s)]
funny easter eggs and dialogue

Cons:
Short (but it's free so can't complain)
Puzzles may be difficult for some, but I found them to be a little easy because you have infinite lives so you can basically brute force the solution.

Definitely worth playing if you like the puzzle genre, or you can skip the puzzles and play it like a visual novel.
Would certainly pay money to awaken a new fetish for an expanded game or a sequel.

A wonderful game for fans of 3D platforming. Great story, great characters, funny dialogue, and fluid control scheme. Game looks beautiful too (if your PC can handle it). Score: 10/10 with rice.
