While the Forza Horizon series has been around since 2012, I didn’t get my first experience with it until Horizon 3 in 2016. After all, that was the first entry in the series to come to PC. Open-world racing games were already a passion of mine, but Horizon 3 blew everything else out of the water. It was love at first drift. Now, Forza Horizon 4 is here. For me, this is effectively a “sequel”, and sequels have the tendency to fall short of the original....

As has been the case with each Genshin Impact update, a major/premier event is usually followed by smaller, bite-sized ones. We see this once more with the Legend of the Vagabond Sword event (which requires you to reach Adventure Rank 20 first).

Now that Microsoft has opened Game Room, you might want some guidance from an old soldier. In the gaming community, I’m an old man. I was raised on the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, and the Apple IIc, in that order. I wrote video games in high school for the IBM XT. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I’d drive down to the arcade in the afternoon and watch people playing games....
