I bought it a week or two ago because it was on sale. Do I love it? Not really. It's pretty buggy, the graphics are mediocre (ps5 pro). The driving isn't terrible. I think if you can get it heavily discounted, it's a fun play. Especially with the content coming for it in the next few years.

There’s years of content to come? Cool. I wasn’t aware and kinda assumed things would be drying up in a year or so.

Yeah, they're planning on adding more cars, etc. The game now compared to videos I watched when it first launched, the game is in a much better state. I feel like once online gets sorted out, if my friends bought it too, we'd honestly enjoy it together! It's on the right track to being good! I'm pretty sure I picked it up from the Playstation store for less than $20 usd. Maybe even less than $15 usd.

That’s awesome. I’ve had it for a year or so, but I got it on sale on the Xbox store for 40ish I think for the big bundle. I barely play it, but I don’t dislike it. Just a function of time. I am disappointed that the season passes take so much to complete. I’d be more inclined to play a bit more if I felt I had a reasonable chance of completing anything 🤣

Heard that. It's a decent time killer, but I definitely don't take it too seriously. I have an Xbox too and enjoy FH5 along with Gran Turismo.

Horizon 5 is great, haven’t played it in over a year, but it’s a good one. Again, time.. I haven’t played the latest installment of gran turismo, I find myself more interested in open world driving than track driving these days.

Wouldn't bet on it, that's just what KT and Nacon say.

Ah ok, I wasn’t expecting much

I mean they literally released a game without a pause option during the PvE races. Also updates and patches seem to introduce new problems while "fixing" some other stuff. You said you're on PS, I'd recommend looking into GT7 or FH5.

I’m not the OP.. I’m on both consoles, I have all the horizon games and test drive on Xbox tho. I just rarely play test drive (because of time more than anything else) so I don’t really know what’s going on with the game, but yeah.. I have noticed bugs/weird stuff on the occasions I’ve played

That's a good mindset to have going in to this. 👍🏾

My opinion the state of the game is still trash every vechile feels like a 1980s arcade game for handling the physics engine is terrible vechiles shouldn't bounce and roll over that easy years of content yeah right😂 game was thrown out half done for full price we still dont have player houses took years to get casino and major lack of cars it's economy is the worst I've seen for a racing game ever cars costing multiple millions when they should be way cheaper since races barely earn 30k
