Oh shit. Honestly didn't expect this until the next installment. Usually not big on racing games but I really enjoyed what I played of it on Gamepass. Would definitely grab it on Steam.
i know i will ... even though i already have it on winstore

It's pretty much the best balance between arcade and simulation one could hope for.
To add onto this, if you are into cars, it has a massive selection of real cars to build out your garage with. I also find the lower class races to be just as fun as a lot of the super high speed ones which isn't always the case for me in racing games. The multiple season setup also means you want to have different cars for different seasons to be optimal instead of just finding your one car and sticking with it for everything.

All that being said, the season stuff being based on dates that you can't change does suck and they really push you to do the multiplayer stuff. While it isn't a perfect game, the good definitely outweighs the bad. I personally think 3 is a better game, but 4 is well worth playing if you have any interest in racing games that aren't hardcore sims.

Actually the MP stuff can be skipped out entirely. I did not care one bit for it and as a pure single player game FH4 is amazing. You can of course complete multiplayer events for even greater gains and sped up progression but I had no issues progressing while in single player mode only.

Speaking of progression, I have to admit FH3's feels more natural to me. FH4 basically showers you with cars very early on.

Downunder.
And what is the best to continue playing? New Game Plus or Premium Adventure?
That depends. If you already cleared all the substories and most of the minigames, go for the premium adventure. You'll keep your skill tree and inventory, and you can change characters/costumes in the hideout.

If you only did the main story and left the substories alone, you can go for NG+. You'll keep your skill tree and inventory, but the world state is reset, and you can go through the story and substories again.

Sorry, I didn't explain that well. I only played it single player as well, it just felt to me like they try to push your towards the online stuff a lot (like the join an online session prompt always popping up first thing when you start). I never felt the need to do it other than a few times for Forzathon stuff but I would have preferred to have it be less in your face. Like I said, not a huge deal at the end of the day, but it is clear they want to steer people towards the multiplayer.

Wonder if this means there's a chance yet for Halo Wars 2. That one seems to have fallen through the cracks. There were rumors at one point but it's been quiet for a while.
This is my hope as well.
Halo Wars is the best Halo game I've played, but I haven't played the sequel yet.

Even if they didn't improve it much they should release it. New consoles + new GPUs + Steam release. There can be some new life in it.

At the same time I would much rather all their resources were put on new Mass Effect and Dragon Age :confused-face:
