Who should pick this up
Worth it if…
- You want the best open-world driving in Japan and can tolerate occasional pop-in on modest hardware.
- You play with a controller and value a massive car roster and smooth multiplayer.
- You enjoy Horizon's festival atmosphere and long-term car collection grind.
Skip if…
- You demand perfect 4K60 on mid-range GPUs — VRAM limits cause noticeable pop-in.
- You prefer realistic simulation over arcade-style open-world driving.
- You rely on a racing wheel that isn't Logitech — support is limited.
