I just downloaded and started the Lego expansion about an hour ago. Here are some things I’d like to share about it.

Although I do understand that Horizon isn’t meant to be a simulation racing game, I still feel that Lego is a stretch for them. I can’t say I’m a big fan of the idea in itself, but I have been giving it a go for about an hour.

I’m not crazy about it. An hour in and I’m not really convinced this fits Horizon. If we look at the second Horizon 3 expansion, we find that Hot Wheels is a much better fit for an open world Forza game. I’m sure this is to make it appeal to a bigger audience to boost sales and whatnot, but it honestly doesn’t feel like Forza. Sure, it’s creative and funny, but that’s about it. The Lego cars such as the initial McLaren senna, Mini Cooper S, and F40 Competizione are cutesy, but they feel very out of place. Some part of me honestly wishes they would’ve chosen something like a second hot wheels expansion, but it is what it is.

I’m going to continue playing it for a little while, but I honestly don’t feel like I’ll be playing this much more than a day or two.

Fortune Island was actually fun, which is why I’m disappointed here. I’m not sure if I should’ve had such high expectations, but either way, I’m still kinda bummed out.

Feel free to chime in if you’re also playing.

Their failure to convert the cars into their Lego counterparts, or  failure to “Lego-ify”, if you will, is disappointing.

This is the end of the line for me with Forza.

I don’t feel anything for the games like I used to.

I’m going back to playing Horizon 2 and Motorsport 6.

It’s only three cars to date. They say more are on the way, but this really does suck.

Just three? Seems like, as the very least, they should’ve offered all the ones from LEGO’s Speed Champions series.

There will be more supposedly, but they’ll be coming “down the line”.

Only three? The fuck? Forza needs to get their shit straight.

I truly do not understand the people who saw this Forza Lego expansion and said, “YES PLEASE.” I think they’re the same people who say, “NO THANKS” when Polyphony Digital works with actual car manufacturers to design new concept cars for inclusion in Gran Turismo.

It's fun-ish. I wanted more. But new tracks are refreshing at least. However, the jumps are weird and not all the roads show up on the map. And a lot of the drift zones don't seem all that technical, mainly just big power.

I got bored about 20 minutes after I posted this.  It feels kinda half-assed.

I was on the fence about buying the DLC, but I had a fee ling that this wouldn’t be that much fun.

How much is it? 20 bucks? You think it's worth that?

Not sure since I got the ultimate edition, but I wouldn’t pay for it.

It’s quarter-assed at best.

Fortune Island is worth every penny. I loved it.
