Gravel

Great Game Fun Arcade style racer with lots of variety, on road and off road tracks, different weather conditions and race types and hoodles of cars to unlock. Lots of fun and plenty of challenge

It's fun. Do not expect this to be excellent, expect it to be very solid entertainment. I would definetely buy this again, if it wasn't in my library and I cannot say this for most games I have collected.

People say this game is a hidden gem, I really don't see why. It's not terrible, but it's not very good either. Here's why : - Camera angles are atrocious, you can't see ♥♥♥♥ in front of you in external cam, and can't see ♥♥♥♥ around you in internal cam. - All cars in the same class handle the same way. I've tried several 4WD cars in thesame race, to compare, and found absolutely no difference. - Physics gets wonky at time, you get stuck in the back of the car in front of you (which you could hardly even see because camera angle), or you get catapulted skyward or do barrel rolls for no apparent reason. Like, driving with the right side in the water sent me into multiple tumbles to the left ? The game runs mighty fine, so there's that. But also, no key bindings. Overall, very mid game that doesn't bring much to the table. If you're interested in offroad races, Dakar Desert Rally is a much better option.

Wäre wahrscheinlich eher so ein "mittlerer Daumen" geworden, allerdings muss ich, da ich das Spiel wahrscheinlich abbrechen werde, doch eher zum Daumen runter tendieren. Habe das Spiel auf Schwer gespielt und die meisten Fahrhilfen ausgestellt. Nur zur Vollständigeit. Leider sind einige Aspekte dieses Spiels äußerst nervig. So ist man bspw. gezwungen einen sehr aggressiven Fahrstil an den Tag zu legen, da man auf einigen Strecken einfach sehr wenig Platz, bzw. wenig Möglichkeiten zum überholen hat. Wenn man dann auch noch ganz hinten startet, kann man einfach nur hoffen, dass man irgendwo ein opening findet, um sich an den Gegnern vorbei zu rempeln. Ansonsten fahren einem die 2-3 Kontrahenten, die vorne gestartet sind, einfach uneinholbar davon und man darf neustarten. Meiner Ansicht nach rutscht man auch in manchen Kurven einfach viel zu sehr nach außen. Dazu kommt, dass Kollisionen mit anderen Fahrern oder Objekten unnatürlich heftig geschehen. Die Rückspulfunktion ist mir bei solcherart Spielen generell ein Dorn im Auge. Sowas täuscht oft einfach über ein schlecht gebalancetes Gameplay hinweg. Forza Horizon *Hust* *Hust* Overall nervte das Game leider bisher mehr, als das es Spaß gemacht hat.
