Forza Horizon 4
Get it For: Rs 3,874 for Xbox One

The Forza series is one of the few Xbox exclusive racing games that have gotten better with every edition. The latest in the series is Forza Horizon 4, a successor to 2016's Forza Horizon 3.


While Horizon 3 was based in Australia, Horizon 4 takes you to England. It's an open-world racing game which means you can just drive through meticulously detailed cities and towns. There are various types of races — cross-country runs, dirt races and even street races. There are also showcase races against motorbikes and even airplanes.

Forza Horizon 4

One of the best things about Horizon 4 is that the races don’t always require you to win.

You can earn points for a fast drift, doing combos and even customising your car. These points can be used to get perks or unlock items. Horizon 4 is loaded with classics like the 1953 Ferrari 500 Mondial to the latest 2018 Ford Mustang GT.

You can either unlock them or just discover them in a hidden barn off the main road somewhere. This is what makes the open world game so much fun — you don’t have to stick to the main roads, just venture off road and you could get rewarded.

Forza Horizon 4

The developers have kept one of the best elements from Horizon 3: changing seasons. The graphics are just breathtaking and so are the sound effects.

Overall, if its just one racing game that you plan to buy this year, Forza Horizon 4 should be your choice. In our opinion, it is one of those games that make racing games a lot of fun and can be played for hours.
