Digital Spy - 100

Who knew Forza Horizon could get even better? Yet Playground Games has done it again. It's extremely hard to criticise Forza Horizon 3. Not only is it absolutely stunning, it's done a fantastic job of putting you at the centre of the racing in every way possible.

Blueprints give Horizon 3 tons of replayability, while the sheer amount of cars will keep you coming back for "just one more race" – even if it's just for a drive around the Australian setting.

Truly the racing game for everyone.

GamingTrend - 100

Forza Horizon 3 feels familiar with its already-polished gameplay, but the new setting, cars, and incredible customization options opens the throttle on an already-fantastic platform. The team has built on an already stable platform, bringing entirely new ways to play. I struggled to find a single thing I didn’t love about Forza Horizon 3, and that’s a fantastic problem to have.

True Achievements - 100

Forza Horizon 3 takes the winning formula from previous releases in the series and improves upon them in almost every way. The expansive roster of cars are all beautifully designed right down to the smallest detail. The setting is stunning with very few walls and boundaries to inhibit your freedom, and now you can experience all of the fun in four-player co-op with the added bonus of being able to customise almost every aspect of each race to your choosing. Quite simply put, Forza Horizon 3 is the pinnacle of open-world racers available on the Xbox One.

US Gamer - 100

Bigger and better than its predecessor in every way, Forza Horizon 3 features a beautiful, incredibly diverse landscape, an impressive roster of over 350 meticulously-detailed cars, and an absolute ton of driving activities and challenges. Forza Horizon 3 is without doubt the finest arcade racer yet seen, and it looks set to become one of this generation's greatest games.

Press Start - 100

My expectations for Forza Horizon 3 have been quite high over the past few months, but after hours and hours of gameplay, extensively delving into each gameplay feature, it’s safe to say that Playground Games has managed to shatter every single one of them. Providing a deep, fun and addictive gameplay experience, Forza Horizon 3 is one of the best racing games of the generation.

Windows Central - 100

What we have here is a triumph. A continuation of a series into the next-generation and beyond. With Xbox Play Anywhere, a whole new generation of Forza players will be brought into the mix, and they're going to absolutely love it. Forza Motorsport is more for the hardcore racing fans, Forza Horizon is for everyone.

Go and buy this game. It's that simple. Buy it and love it. Experience its greatness.

GameSpew - 100

It’s probably as close to perfection as an arcade racer could possibly be. The visuals are simply phenomenal, the sound effects and soundtrack bring aural pleasure to your ears, and the gameplay is infectiously addictive.

DualShockers - 95

Forza Horizon 3 is an unstoppable force of adventure and fun. Throughout my hours and hours of gameplay, I explored desserts, beaches, and festive cities, demolished my fair-share of farms, and blasted Beethoven over the speaker system, all with a goofy smile on my face. This isn’t a game to be missed by Xbox One or PC players, regardless if you are new to the genre or a Motorsport pro. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to the Outback.

IGN - 95

Forza Horizon 3 is a masterclass in open-world racing and bigger and better than its excellent predecessor across the board. It looks fantastic, the car selection and customisation is second to none, and the size and variety of the sprawling Australian outback is magnificent. Above all, Horizon 3 never loses sight of the fact that tearing through postcard-perfect locations should be fun, and it puts the tools in our hands to keep it that way, always. This is the racing game I’ve been waiting for, and it's officially my favourite thing on four wheels. A fair dinkum triumph, mates.

Lazygamer - 95

Forza Horizon 3 is a truly astonishing game and one that should not only be classified as one of the best driving games available right now, but one of the best games available, period.

COGconnected - 95

In many ways, Forza Horizon 3 is the perfect sequel – it adds enough content to stay fresh, while retaining all the hallmarks that made the previous games so awesome.

Destructoid - 90

That's kind of where Forza Horizon is at right now: It's a series that's consistently enjoyable on an every-other-year cycle. Playground Games' take on Australia falls right in line. It's not quite the leap that the franchise made from the original Horizon to Horizon 2, but it's not on cruise control, either. There's enough variation here -- from the feel of cars to the game modes to the radio stations -- that this is another excellent installment in an always-excellent series. And, since variation is a key reason for Horizon 3's success, well, Australia seems like it's probably the most perfectly appropriate setting.

Attack of the Fanboy - 90

The still relatively young Forza Horizon series has been consistently great across its first two entries and Forza Horizon 3 continues that impressive trend with distinctive driving physics that are better than ever and a robust campaign full of different events that takes players across Australia.

GameSpot - 90

With Forza Horizon 3, Turn 10 and Playground Games affirm the series’ status as the driving game for everyone The new emphasis on off-road options isn’t at the expense of traditional races, thanks to the sheer volume of activities. All the while, Playground Games’ calculated kitchen-sink design philosophy and rich reward system persistently tempt you to explore beyond your comfort zone, whether it’s gifting your first Ariel Nomad buggy or reminding you that stunt races can impress thousands of fans. Enhancing your own brand might feel like a strange motivation to hit the road, but pulling off sick e-drifts on a mile-long series of curves makes the PR work worthwhile.

Hardcore Gamer - 90

Forza Horizon 3 retains everything we’ve come to love about the open world racer while incrementally improving upon its formula. The leap isn’t as significant as it was between the first two games, but Australia ends up being a highly appealing setting to drive through.

Venture Beat - 90

Forza Horizon 3 is the supremely polished product you’ve come to expect from this franchise.

It is one of the most feature-rich asynchronous multiplayer games I’ve ever played. I love having all of these ways of competing against my friends, and I think the Blueprint events are a smart way to make the game feel more personal and connected. I plan on making at least a few more missions and sending them to all of my friends after Horizon goes live later this month.

When you combine those elements with the refined physics and retina-burning visuals, you get the king of the racing genre.

Post Arcade - 90

Nearly boundless racing possibilities help keep Playground Games’ sandbox racer ahead of the pack

Eurogamer Italy - 90

Superb graphics, HDR and Play Anywhere: thanks to Forza Horizon 3 the future of Xbox is closer than we thought.

Gaming Bolt - 90

Forza Horizon 3 is a compelling, all-round excellent racer that should appeal to both hardcore fans and first time players.

Gaming Nexus - 90

Forza Horizon 3 brings an incredible diverse open world in the Australian Outback that begs to be discovered. With a great soundtrack, a plethora of vehicles to unlock, and plenty of challenges varying in difficulty, Horizon 3 proves to be a must buy for racing fans.

Xbox Achievements - 89

Forza Horizon 3 is another stellar open world racing game that has a plethora of things to see and do. Some of it can get somewhat repetitive during prolonged sessions, but Playground Games has really gone to town in packing the game with a variety of events and some great online activities to keep you hooked. Hit the gas and set off on an Aussie racing odyssey. You won't regret it.

Polygon - 85

Forza 3 Horizon is as beautiful as it is engaging

Forza Horizon 3 is as much a driving game as a racing game. Through a superbly realized version of Australia as well as a wide variety of terrain, cars and challenges, this free-roaming car simulation offers a valuable playbox. But it also managed to muster "cor blimey" moments that made me feel a whooping rush of speed and liberation.

Game Revolution - 80

In the absence of other open-world racing series like Burnout Paradise and Test Drive Unlimited, the Forza Horizon series has steadily become a racing staple, and with Forza Horizon 3, it's now on cruise control. With a revised skill system, a wealth of racing content, and a co-operative campaign, you'll want to bend and curve around every corner in picturesque Australia landscape at least once, even if that's the only time.

GamesRadar+ - 80

A superbly-produced, feature-rich racing game. Too much of it may feel like busywork and filler, but few other racers are this slick or feature-packed, and it certainly has moments of magic.

CGMagazine - 80

Forza Horizon 3 is an invigorating open-world racer, although it may be a little too familiar to anyone who’s been down this road before.

We Got This Covered - 70

Forza Horizon 3 doesn't bring much new to the table, and it feels like I've now played the same game three times over. It's still good, and fun for newcomers, but it's definitely at the point of diminishing returns. Throw in a myriad of technical issues, and it's ultimately a disappointing sequel.

IBTimes UK - 40

Massive, full and with a list of things to do which borders upon incessant, Forza Horizon 3 is a driving game both without direction and made by a studio seemingly – understandably – bored with cars. It isn't wholly different or worse than its predecessors, but after four years of these games, and with titles like DiRT Rally rediscovering the fundamental, basic thrills of racing simulations, Horizon 3 feels tired.

 

[Nightwolf]

Bigger and better than its predecessor in every way

Consegue ser melhor que o Horizon 2? Eu comprei esperando ser mais do mesmo, o que já seria excelente.
Agora melhor que o Horizon 2... mal posso esperar.

 

[jairopicanco]

Este chega para ser o jogo de corrida arcade definitivo dessa era.

Seguuuuura o monstro!!!!!

Comparar com um simulador igual ao Dirt Rally não da né amigo...

Esse reviewer da IBTimesUK também avaliu com 2 estrelas o Quantum Break. Esse cara num gosta de jogo nenhum kkkkkk.

 

[Senta a pua]

Está recebendo notas maiores do que eu esperava. Pensei que iriam criticar mais a questão da pouca variação em relação ao antecessor... Pelo visto agradou bastante! Tive que optar entre ele e gears nesse período, tendo ficado com a segunda opção, mas em breve nos veremos na Austrália!

 

[John.]

Eu só joguei o primeiro jogo até hoje e foi um dos melhores se não o melhor jogo de corrida que já joguei.

A microsoft tem uma franquia de ouro nas mãos com o Horizon.
E provam mais uma vez com esse 3º game, muito bom.

Controle de dano ja ta ligado

 

[GameStrike]

O merdacritic tinha que ter uma ferramenta pra deixar em aberto a opção de remover reviewers que fazem palhaçada desse tipo. Dar 40 pra um jogo que a maioria tá dando 90, 100, é pra queimar o filme do jogo de propósito. Não dá pra levar isso a sério. E olha que sou muito crítico com os detalhes. Ontem vendo o gameplay ao vivo encontrei uma série de falhas técnicas mas nem falei nada pra não despertar a ira dos fãs mais xiitas, mas dar 40 pra esse jogo é esculacho.

 

[creator]

Esse reviewer da IBTimesUK também avaliu com 2 estrelas o Quantum Break. Esse cara num gosta de jogo nenhum kkkkkk.

Até olhei os jogos que ele falava bem. Os únicos que eu achei foram Uncharted, Until Dawn, Overwacth e Sunset overdrive. Os outros jogos de carros que ele fez review foi Driveclub que ele deu uma nota média (nota 6), e Dirt que ele falou muito bem. O engraçado é que ele crítica muito mais alguns aspectos de Driveclub e ainda assim deu uma nota maior, mas pelo menos em Driveclub ele definiu bem sua nota dando notas para cada parte do jogo. Se ele tivesse feito o mesmo com Forza, com certeza a nota não teria ficado tão baixa. Esse tipo de crítico, não pode ser levado a sério.

 

[User 1422]

O jogo está super bem avaliado. Uma ou outra nota ruim sempre tem. É aquele site querendo aparecer.
U4 teve. DS3 teve.
Desencanem e curtam o game.

Sem mais!
Agora, que de vez em quando dou uma escapadinha pra ver o metacritic do KOF XIV, ah, isso eu faço!

 

[SurferBR]

O critério do Merdacritic deveria ser que nem no surf, descartar as duas piores notas e as duas melhores.

O mesmo site que deu 2/5 (40/100), deu 4/5 pra no man's Sky e 2/5 pra quantum break. Os caras estão malhando nos coments da review do cara. Click bait puro.

 

[Tonico dos Hotdog]

U4 teve. DS3 teve.
Desencanem e curtam o game.

Pois é. Tem conspiração nenhuma. Todo jogo de ponta sempre tem um contrarian pra dizer que é não é tudo isso.
Nego se apega mais na review negativa do que nas 44 positivas. Não dá pra entender

E o Metacritic é o que é justamente por isso. Não filtra nota nenhuma. E acho isso bom; Independente da opinião ser relevante ou não, não pode ser silenciada, o precedente nunca é bom.

Se querem remover uma ou outra fonte vão no OpenCritic.

 

[Blanka]

A melhor franquia de jogos de corrida dos últimos tempos. Melhor ainda que vai ser lançado para PC. Compra mais do que certa!
