Kind of interesting going through the list and trying to decide which would go where. Noticed I’m more likely to be excited for games that are coming sooner than later. The bottom 3 of the list I have no interest in those type of games and AoE IV I don’t have A PC hence that being so low.

The difference between to 2 Forza games is mainly due to me not being a big racing genre fan but also speaks volumes to how horizon has made it fun to play. I think turn 10 is a fantastic studio but just can’t get into Sim racers.

You know, I thought the same way until just recently, I decided to try Forza Motorsport 7 on a whim, and I don’t know what happened but a switch flipped or something, and now I’m nuts for the sim series. It’s super approachable if you’re coming from arcade racers. It eases you into the sim elements and has a ton of accessibility options. Incredible game.
