I find it surprising that there isn't more enthusiasm here; this game seems to be a true spiritual successor to TDU compared to TC 1 and 2. With its impressive visuals, a smaller yet highly detailed map, and improved physics, it appears to be a strong contender against Forza Horizon.

These days I just don't look at the price of new games, I'm patient enough to wait for the price to drop I'm looking the look of the themed playlists, more of a focused linear progression root compared to Forza's 'here's 100 races, do them in whatever order you fancy with whatever car you like' style. It's such a boring grind.

I get the feeling those who've played previous FH games but not previous TC or TDU games will be more hyped. TC fans will complain about the dramatic map size reduction, and TDU fans may also complain that O'ahu here bears little resemblance, being squished. Then there's the high price tag, the grindy gameplay loops to afford overpriced vehicles, and constant push of MTX and season passes. Underneath, however, there is a fun and beautiful game in a location with a nice balance of nostalgia and new exploration. The physics so far look good, at least for the stock vehicles - I don't know how fully tuned vehicles will feel. You'll find more discussion on Discord. I know I'd like to play it, I'm just having a hard time stomaching the price, especially if they're likely to heavily discount the game like they have with TC2 over the years.
