For me the biggest issue with Forza Horizon series is that it fails to deliver the cultural and architectural heart of locations it supposed to represent. Tokyo is also not Tokyo at all. The whole premise of visiting a certain place is a hoax.

Here are some of my shots from Edinburgh, which is supposed to be shown in FH4, but it's barely there. They missed the scale, they turned the city into a parody of itself... a few landmarks, placed 30 seconds away of each other, like the beach which begins right after Arthur's Seat (and it's actually divided by a half of the city).

After the recent piracy war, they are now getting the idea on why...

Back in 2014 AMD and the small but passionate studio Xaviant (The Culling) created Battlemage. The game using Cryengine 3 and one of the first true spatial sound systems (named TrueAudio)

- First: there are simply not so many Battle mage games out there, so magic combat is cool

- Second: even now good spatial audio sounds insanely good and this one is indeed very impressive!

The system was also used in Theif but generally didn't get enough attention. But the studies they made helped to make later systems (Steam Audio included).

Can be a funky one to try on sale, don't expect too much though. Except the audio — it's still awesome.
