Its simulator cousin contains a whopping 700+ vehicles. Moving onto Forza Motorsport 7 the following year, I noticed that Horizon 3 ’s vehicle roster was mere child’s play. I have so many questions, but mainly, why did the designers go through the trouble of modeling this? And so well, at that? How Did This Get Here? Eventually, it came down to just cycling through the same handful of cars depending on what I felt like driving, or what a specific type of race called for. I sifted through my garage, highlighting specific vehicles that I genuinely liked, and just ignored the rest. It didn’t bother me much at first, but eventually, as my car list grew, I became lost in it all. Like: “Why am I puttering around in some one-cylinder monstrosity on wheels that looks like a toilet? You know what, who cares?” These ‘joke vehicles’, as I refer to them as, gave me a good laugh at first. Before playing Horizon 3, I was used to racing games containing racing cars, but Horizon 3 seemed to include just about any vehicle Playground Games could get the licensing rights for. These from ancient classics to modern hypercars to, seemingly, just about everything in-between. The game contains over 350 cars in total. It taught me that too much of a good thing can sometimes be bad. But, no title that I could think of came close to the sheer wide scope of Horizon 3’s car list. Before that, I’d played a slew of open-world racers and just a variety of other racing games in general. My first formal introduction to the Forza series was 2016’s Forza Horizon 3 when it was finally brought to PC.
