FORzA HORIzOn 4

Microsoft’s racing festival pitches up in England, but it’s not just the familiar setting – rendered in astonishing detail – that makes this fourth instalment so memorable. The ability to create your own races should sustain players well beyond an already substantial single-player mode, while seasonal weather has much more than a cosmetic impact: when winter arrives, you’ll be able to drive across the Lake District’s icy waters. And now you can buy your own in-game property, you’re even more likely to stick around. CS
