Introduction
Forza Horizon 3 is an open world driving game developed by playground games. The game is based at a car festival with different people putting on different styles of racing all throughout the map. There are closed-circuit street style races, point to point races, off-road rally style races, and cross-country style races. Each race type requires different cars and skill sets. As you earn enough influence through different races and different tasks you progress through different seasons. These seasons change the physics of driving and provide new challenges such as snow rain driving.
The audience for this game is car and racing game fans. Beyond this, the game difficulty can easily be adjusted to cater to a wide variety of gamers ranging from casual to hardcore gamers. With the difficulty to the lowest settings the game is very easy and not challenging. With that said, when the difficulty is turned up to simulation level, the cars are very difficult to control. Couple this with increased opponent difficulty and the game can become almost impossible even for the most hardcore racing game fans.
