You can drive a ten million dollar 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale in a riverbed - and be rewarded for it. This is a game where you can buy a castle, put rally tires on a Bugatti Chiron, and then do laps drifting in the dirt with your insane hypercar around your castle. Freedom from game limitations, freedom from the consequences of poorly piloting a motor vehicle, freedom from laws. That’s fine, because Forza Horizon is about freedom. Everything you do in game progresses you, nothing sets you back, and everything is repeatable. Then you can get points for jumping off things, general hooning, stunt driving, knocking over signs with points written on them, breaking things, going fast, getting cars, tuning cars, finding cars in barns, and much more.
