Forza Motorsport Review-in-Progress - Hitting The Apex

Forza Motorsport is a triumphant return for the simulation racing series, and it has never been as approachable or rewarding.
By Alessandro Barbosa on
Forza Motorsport is nearly as old as the Xbox brand itself, but it's had a surprisingly extended absence since its last entry in 2017. In its place, the less simulation-focused, open-world Forza Horizon series has flourished, despite not offering the technical track racing that the core series of the franchise once excelled in delivering. Forza Motorsport is a reset of sorts for the series, with the time away from the track used to refine its scintillating racing and fine-tune its progression system. The result is a streamlined simulation racer that puts all of its focus toward on-track action, delivering one of the most exhilarating racing experiences you can find on any platform.
Forza Motorsport wastes no time getting you on the track, throwing you behind the wheel of its cover car, the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, on the tarmac of the Maple Valley Raceway, a throwback to the series' oldest fictional track. This short showcase, somewhat similar in presentation (but not tone) to the openings found in Forza Horizon, makes it immediately clear how much work has been put into Forza Motorsport's visuals. The golden sunset lighting and autumnal colors around the track contrast beautifully against the glinting blue metal of the roaring hypercar at your fingertips, with the subsequent race at a cherry-blossom-laden track in Japan showcasing gorgeous nighttime lighting as dozens of polished liveries careen around corners. Each one of Forza Motorsport's faithfully recreated cars is a treat to behold when out on the track, while equally standing up to scrutiny when you take the time to investigate their intricately recreated interiors. If you obsess over the finer details of exceptional automotive engineering, Forza Motorsport raises the bar for what you will now expect from other games in this genre.

Now Playing: Forza Motorsport Video Review In Progress
Both in the showroom and on the track, Forza Motorsport is accentuated by an attractive implementation of ray tracing, which is even featured in one of the game's performance modes to mitigate any feelings of compromise to enjoy the game looking its finest. While it's difficult to appreciate accurate reflections at breakneck speeds, the collective effect helps to ground each car to the track in a way that makes previous iterations seem a bit strange by comparison. It's not a faultless implementation--there were

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai Review (PS5) | Push Square
Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a game of two halves: a surprisingly simplistic action RPG and an endless barrage of static, visual novel-style cutscenes. It bears the name Dragon Quest and is published by Square Enix, yet it feels entirely barebones; with basic gameplay and a poorly presented story, we're left confused about who this one was for.

Hollow Cocoon is a potential hit for fans of Japanese horror

The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails Review
It always warms my heart to see an obscure Japanese game get a 2nd lease on life. While NIS America has been slowly localising every entry in the exhaustively long-running and interconnected Trails RPG series, there was a PSP spinoff back in 2012 that never got an English release. For as much as fans of Trails and Ys and the Nihon Falcom catalogue can appreciate a niche hit, even The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails seems to have been passed by and ignored by most people. Now that it has an official English release across multiple platforms, I can’t understand why this game wasn’t a cult classic – it’s fast-paced, full of content, endearingly written, and easily one of my favorite Nihon Falcom games.
