How is Forza Horizon 5 As a Person that Dislikes the Genre?
I try to like just about anything. The way I see it is, if I like more genres and games, the more things I get to enjoy along with all of the community. It happened to me with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Witcher 3. I just couldn't love the games as much as others did, and I felt like I was missing out due to this.

Since I decided I wanted to try to like every genre and love every famous game, I began testing some of the best titles per genre that I just didn't particularly care for. These journeys have brought me to Forza Horizon 5, due to my particular uncaringness for the racing genre, in hopes that maybe I'd see the beauty behind it.

My history with racing games has been rather rocky. I played them with my wife in the form of Need for Speed, although that didn't last very long.

After that, she and I delved deep into the Mario Kart franchise, playing several of the games and unlocking everything until we eventually grew bored and moved on; this was the ending of me and racing games.

So of course, as Forza Horizon 5 shook the world— quickly reaching several million sales — I needed to see this for myself. Could this be my saving grace? The game to get me to like racing games?

I booted the game, I watched the cutscene and saw the beautiful landscape of Mexico. My wife and I were surprised by the similarities between Mexico and Colombia, so it was a plus for me that the setting looked a lot like my home; just that it was more deserty.
