La saga Forza Horizon llega al culmen en su cuarta entrega, con la que Palyground Games no solo consigue superarse a si misma desde su excelentísima tercera parte, sino que además demuestra ser quien van en la primera posición en cuanto a sagas de conducción dentro del mundo del videojuego.
Un titulazo cargado de contenidos, de enormes proporciones y de una factura técnica apabullante, que se combina a la perfección con una jugabilidad exquisita. Sin duda una de las mejores bazas con la que cuenta Microsoft de cara a su (escaso) catálogo propio en Xbox One (y PC).

Forza Horizon 4 marca un punto de inflexión en la saga. Logra sacar el máximo partido a todo lo que hizo grande a los tres anteriores, pero no se contenta con ello y da más de sí gracias a las estaciones, los nuevos eventos y rangos. Una fórmula que está alcanzando cada edición la perfección que tanto ansía.
Vandal - Juan Rubio - 9,5 / 10
Forza Horizon 4 es un auténtico juegazo, y una obra imprescindible para cualquier fan de los arcades de conducción. Un título divertido, variado, repleto de contenido, personalizable a todos los niveles y visualmente soberbio. Esta entrega hace lo que parecía imposible, y mejora la ya sensacional experiencia del 3, ofreciéndonos más libertad para jugar, estaciones, nuevos tipos de desafíos y una experiencia online mucho mejor, más grande y con más posibilidades.
Meristation - Salva Fernández 9,4 / 10
En cierto momento del juego, Playground Games homenajea a títulos míticos como OutRun, Sega Rally, Ridge Racer o Daytona. El gesto no es solo de agradecimiento a un legado exitoso en la conducción arcade. Es también una demostración de fuerza: una manera de decir que aquí, en Forza Horizon 4, todo esto que viviste se encuentra disponible. Y mucho más. Porque esta cuarta entrega no hace sino confirmarse como uno de los títulos más abrumadores que recordamos en el género.
IGN Spain - Juan García - 9.4 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 es la mejor entrega de la serie Forza, lo que le convierte en uno de los mejores juegos de conducción de todos los tiempos. Tiene de todo, y para todos: una ambientación excelente, gran variedad de coches y pruebas de todo tipo, climatología y estaciones dinámicas, un control excelente, opciones de personalización muy profundas... En resumidas cuentas, que a poco que te guste conducir, tienes una cita obligada con la última creación de Playground Games.

Playground Games se vuelve a superar con Forza Horizon 4, una entrega repleta de contenidos y de diversión, impactante en lo visual, y que gana en enteros con la inclusión de las estaciones del año en su fórmula. Sin duda, uno de los juegos imprescindibles de este otoño.

"An excellent racer with a couple issues"
Attack of the Fanboy - William Schwartz - 4 / 5 stars
Forza Horizon 4 is likely the best looking and most robust game in the series, even if Forza fatigue is beginning to set in with only slight changes to the established formula in this release.
AusGamers - Steve Farrelly - 9.7 / 10.0
Like an interactive painting, photo, or time-lapse video -- Forza Horizon 4 showcases the passage of time in an idyllic world where car racing is all but a religion.
Cerealkillerz - Gabriel Bogdan - German - 9 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 defends the open world racing throne with ease and expandes its portfolio with new social/multiplayer features and some amazing wetter effects. Only the overuse of cosmetic items and the not so constant road traffic are holding this game back but won't bother fans of the series for long.
CGMagazine - Mike Cosimano - 8.5 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 feels more focused and creative than its immediate predecessors, thanks to a well-designed open-world that readily encourages hijinx.
COGconnected - Alex Everatt - 95 / 100
Make no mistake about it, for fans of racing games, Forza Horizon 4 is a must-own.
Critical Hit - Geoffrey Tim - 9 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 isn't as surprising or inventive as the last one, but that's hardly a slight considering how good it was. Playground Games' latest sequel continues to shine as one of the best things on the Xbox One. It's beautiful to look at, it's fast and it's unbelievably fun. Forza Horizon 4 is a joyous, enthralling celebration of racing.
Destructoid - Brett Makedonski - 9 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is another fantastically fun Forza Horizon game even if it's tough to pinpoint Playground's grandest ambition. If it was to reinvent the series with seasons, that falls a bit flat and underwhelming. But, if it was to simply remove the constraints and make everything as open and free as possible, then Playground hit its target in the most impressive way. Regardless, Forza Horizon is still the king of open-world arcade racers, and it really doesn't look like that'll change anytime soon.
EGM - Josh Harmon - 8 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 delivers another standout racing experience with plenty of cars, races, and charm, but the way the game implements its much touted seasons feels unnecessarily restrictive and takes away from what would otherwise be a neat addition.
Everyeye.it - Francesco Serino - Italian - 9.5 / 10.0
Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani - 9 / 10
Forza Horizon 4 continues the series' tradition of marrying exceptional gameplay and visuals. The introduction of seasons adds a welcome element of strategy to make a wholly enjoyable racing game.
Game Revolution - Jason Faulkner - 4.5 / 5 stars
It's fun to play for hours or just a race at a time, and it's this that gives it the staying power that will keep you coming back for more.
Gameblog - Vincent Elmer-Haerrig - French - 9 / 10
Forza Horizon 4 brings new ideas and new elements to a base that was already excellent. A base that has also been revealed to be a ground to raise amazing things. Finer on his driving experience and in perfect harmony with the playground he offers, everyone can play FH4. FH4 is as open as his world and it is wainting for you.
Gamerheadquarters - Jason Stettner - 10 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is the most impressive entry in the franchise and simply the best racing game ever released.
Gamersky - Unknown - 9.7 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is invincible in the area of racing games. The landscape is beautiful, and the number of cars is greatly expanded. If you are keen on racing games, don't miss it.
GamesBeat - Jeff Grubb - No Verdict
When a game series is this good for this long, you can sometimes find yourself taking it for granted. Forza Horizon 4 once again refines its formula in a number of notable ways. But those improvements are getting diminishing returns. This is the best Forza Horizon game, and that makes it one of the best racing games ever. But that just doesn't wow me like it once did.
GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 10 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 feels like a labour of love; a game for car lovers by car lovers.
GameSpot - Edmond Tran - 9 / 10
Playground Games continues to master the art of driving games that are both accessible and complex, and Horizon 4's meaningful changes keep the series lively and looking fantastic.
GamesRadar+ - Justin Towell - 4 / 5 stars
Forza Horizon 4 isn't as bombastic as its predecessor, but still a challenging and all-encompassing online racer. And the more introverted moments of driving through autumnal or snow-dusted Britain are beautiful, especially as a showcase for Xbox One X.
GamingBolt - Ravi Sinha - 9 / 10.0
Even without Seasons and shared world aspects, the design and overall quality of Forza Horizon 4 can't be ignored. Fundamentally similar to its predecessors but still incredibly well crafted, Playground Games' latest is another amazing journey.
GamingTrend - Travis Northup - 100 / 100
Forza Horizon 4 is one of the best games I've ever played. Incredible driving mechanics, cutting-edge seasonal changes in a shared-world, and addictive RPG mechanics make exploring Great Britain an absolute blast.
God is a Geek - Gary Bailey - 9.5 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4's handling is the best the series has ever seen, and its shared world gameplay offers an incredible amount of fun. It could well be the best racer out there.
Hardcore Gamer - Sam Spyrison - 4.5 / 5.0
Forza Horizon 4 is an outstanding evolution of not only the Forza franchise, but the open world racing genre as a whole.
Heavy - Elton Jones - 9.8 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is an exhilarating tour through the beautiful countryside of Great Britain. Racing game fans and non-fans alike need to give this amazing sequel a go.
IGN - Luke Reilly - 9.6 / 10.0
I'll always have a massive soft spot for the down under delights of Forza Horizon 3, but open-world racing has never looked as good as it does in Forza Horizon 4. It combines a beautiful world that's really four hugely distinct maps in one with a constantly rewarding and self-renewing racing experience and I really can't tear myself away from it. Playground Games hasn't just upped the ante once again; it's blown the bloody doors off.
IGN Italy - Felice Di Giuseppe - Italian - 9 / 10.0
One of the best arcade racing game series successfully married with the typical online experiences of the current generation.
New Game Network - Alex Varankou - 85 / 100
Forza Horizon 4 shifts the series to a well executed shared online world with four weather seasons, and though not every aspect of the transition is perfect, excellent racing and amazing presentation will definitely entice players to stick around and explore this atmospheric recreation of Britain.
PC Gamer - Phil Savage - 89 / 100
Unless you're looking for a hardcore sim, Forza Horizon is still the best racing series around.
Player2.net.au - Matt Hewson - undefined
The welcoming, customisable nature of the game coupled with jaw-dropping graphics, an endless supply of events, a meaningful weather and season system and a series-best suite of online components means that Forza Horizon 4 is the best in its class, bar none.
Polygon - Colin Campbell - No Verdict
It's sharper than previous games, more openly designed, bigger and more fun. One of Forza Horizon 4's strengths is that it tends toward freedom, letting us do just what we want, and liberating us from races and activities that we don't fancy. Most of all, this is a fun, even joyful experience, a thrilling racing fantasy.
PowerUp! - Leo Stevenson - 9.5 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is a deep, engaging, complex and nearly perfect racing game.
Press Start - Ewan Roxburgh - 8 / 10
Forza Horizon 4 offers racing fans endless, ever-changing amounts of fun. Few racing games are as dense with a seemingly infinite amount to do and collect. It's immensely liberating too, allowing you to play through it however you like. The open-world might have been better populated with environmental features and I wish the menus had been a little faster and easier to navigate, but it's a small price to pay for a game with so much under the hood.
Rocket Chainsaw - David Latham - 4 / 5 stars
Forza Horizon 4 squeezes a lot in to a small package.
SA Gamer - Dawid Venter - 9.5 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 takes what its predecessor did and somehow improves on it. If you're after a simulation you've come to the wrong place. All you'll find here is an endless supply of arcade racing entertainment.
Saudi Gamer - صالح بازرعة - Arabic - 9 / 10
The perfect experience for a racing game, rich content and various activities suits different tastes with crazy graphics and beautiful scenery. Satisfying driving gameplay and gives you full control whatever the car or the environment, add to that the Shared World system and 4 seasons that has weekly events to keeps you playing and wanting more. Must buy for Xbox One and PC owners.
Skill Up - Ralph Panebianco - 8 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is my first PROPER racing game in many years, and I'm struck by how much of it is affected by its monetisation model. It's a great game, but ultimately not one that I can recommend.
Stevivor - Steve Wright - 9 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is delight to play, packed with incredible visuals, a colourful narrative, myriad customisation options, a star-studded soundtrack and a tremendous sense of style. It will easily keep any gamer engaged.
Telegraph - Tom Hoggins - 4 / 5 stars
Is there a more quintessentially British driving experience than guiding a Land Rover across a roundabout in the Cotswolds, a light drizzle pattering across the windshield as Classic FM lilts from the radio?
The Games Machine - Stefano Calzati - Italian - 9.4 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is the best Xbox One exclusive to date: Playground managed to craft an exciting racing game set in a colourful open world full of things to do. That said, we can't wait to see what this talented team can do outside the racing genre.
TheSixthAxis - Dominic Leighton - 9 / 10
Beautiful, British and bold, Forza Horizon 4 sets a new benchmark for open-world arcade racing.
TrueAchievements - Dave Horobin - 5 / 5 stars
By this stage, it should come as no surprise that Playground Games finds a way to raise the bar for each release in the Horizon series, and they've once again found another gear in Forza Horizon 4 that leaves its competitors trailing in the dust.
TrustedReviews - Jake Tucker - 5 / 5 stars
You know what? I adore it. I adore every second. Forza Horizon 4 is potentially the best racing game I've ever played in terms of the sheer amount of stuff and how much fun I've had. I'm not a devout racing game fan, so I'm not going to say it's the best racing game ever, but I can say absolutely that it's the racing game I'm going to be comparing the genre to in my head, moving forwards.
Twinfinite - Ed McGlone - 5 / 5.0
There's so much more in Forza Horizon 4 that I didn't have space to touch on such as player housing, #Forzathon, discoverable beauty points, character customization, plans for Route Creator, and more. It's hard to imagine an arcade racer this generation playing and looking much better than Forza Horizon 4.
USgamer - Kat Bailey - 4.5 / 5 stars
You can debate the merits of some of this version's additions, but the same strong core that has pushed Forza Horizon to the top of the driving sim heap remains firmly in place here. It's an incredibly impressive graphical production that puts even its beautiful predecessor to shame, and it's a true pleasure when out on the road. Forza Horizon 4 is one of a handful of showcase games that truly ought to sell you on an Xbox One X and a 4K TV.
VG247 - James O'Connor - No Verdict
I'm extremely excited to see what the game will turn into once everyone else arrives.
VGN - Davide Frontera - Italian - 9.6 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 is a huge step forward in the racing saga from Playground Games, that keeps getting better in each episode. Thanks to new features such as dynamic seasons and a massive open world that you can explore along with your friends, Forza Horizon 4 is the best arcade racing game you can experience right now, definitely a must buy if you own an Xbox One!
Video Chums - Mary Billington - 9.1 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 provides an expansive and immersive racing experience that'll keep your foot on the accelerator until the seasons change.
VideoGamer - Joshua Wise - 9 / 10
A beautiful Britain, an exuberant driving engine, and generosity of spirit make Forza Horizon 4 a masterclass.
WellPlayed - Jordan Garcia - 9 / 10.0
Forza Horizon 4 offers an insane set of visuals, vast amounts of content, an impressive level of optimisation and great structural changes that allow for a genuinely enthralling experience and cements the Xbox ecosystem as the home of racing
Windows Central - Richard Devine - 5 / 5 stars
This game is a masterpiece.
Xbox Achievements - Richard Walker - 90%
Building upon everything that has continued to mark out the Forza Horizon series as something special and unique its own right - beyond being Forza Motorsport's carefree sibling - Forza Horizon 4 demonstrates once again just how recklessly entertaining driving roughshod across an open environment can be. Revelling in what makes Britain great, Forza Horizon 4 also proves once more that Playground Games is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to delivering a polished, deep, and thrilling open-world racing experience.
