DO NOT BUY THE GAME WILL NOT LOAD

After seeing the trailer for the new game Forza Horizon I decided to finally get into the Forza Horizon series. Bought this game for my Xbox Series X. The first problem was the download, 78+ GB for this thing! When it finally loaded, I was only able to get through the tutorial before I was faced with the now infamous "infinite loading screen crash". Tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, restarting the console and more to fix the problem - nothing worked. At the time of writing this article, the developers have not yet solved this problem. Save the money for the new part and don't buy this useless game. Update: the game works now. I had to re-download the game. As for the game, it's one of the most amazing games I've ever seen. The graphics and GUI look amazing and every part of the map is very polished and stylish. But the problem lies in the gameplay. I've played several racing games and this game has the worst drift ever. Even in the 2001 game, the drift is better than this one. Drift practically does not work. 90% of the time you'll either hit the wall and try to drift, or you'll spin completely. In a competitive racing game, at least I think drifting will work. And yes, I've won a lot of non-drift races, but if you want to race more competitively, you have to try to master this terrible mechanic. Many of the types of races you do that are supposed to be "unique" are the same races you did last time, just with a different background. it's lazy. Another poorly done mechanic in this game is the car stats. At the start of the game I saved up my credits and bought a car for 100k expecting it would be slightly better than the starting car, but I found myself using the starting car more than the one I had saved for because it was the speed was 100km better, the start car was much more reliable in terms of handling and grip than what i thought was an upgrade. What's the point of upgrading when the car you just had works better than the new one you bought? Makes absolutely no sense. I'm changing my rating to at least 3 stars because I just enjoy driving, but if you're looking for a competitive racing game, this isn't it.
