Pros
Pro Solid racing gameplay
It's really enjoyable to just drive a car in Forza 7, which is achieved by two main factors.
First, the steering/controls are very good, so whether you're taking a sharp turn, passing a slight bend, or just picking up speed on a straight, it just feels nice.
Second, there's an excellent sense of speed whether you're going fast or slow. From the slight nuances in your car's sound as you change gear, to the way the environments start to blur as you drive at high speeds, it really feels like you're driving a car, giving you excellent immersion.
Forza 7 won't disappoint most racing fans and even players new to the genre.
Pro Astonishing variety of cars
Forza 7 has massive roster of 700 cars, from various popular car brands around the world, including Aston Martin, BMW, Mitsubishi, and many more. Among the list are regular cars, sports cars, muscle cars, NASCARS, F1 cars, and even semi trucks. The selection is so great, you'll almost definitely find a car that matches your style.
Pro Outstanding visuals
Forza 7 looks simply amazing. From the very detailed car models that closely resemble their real world counterparts, to the excellent lighting, reflections, and weather effects that bring life to its game world. To even the beautiful environments that make you feel like you're on a leisure trip. There's simply so much to look at and it's a joy for the eyes.
Pro Local splitscreen multiplayer
Nowadays, some titles tend to exclude local multiplayer, focusing primarily on online play but Gears of War 4 is an exception. You can play both the campaign and all multiplayer modes with your friends via splitscreen.
Pro Really fun horde mode
Horde mode is a multiplayer co-op mode where up to 5 players try to survive against waves of enemies. It features regular combat and allows you to build fortifications, which you can do by collecting resources from killed enemies and using the fabricator. This allows you to build blockades, sentries, and various other defenses, giving it a very tower defense-esque feel, which is also a lot of fun.
You can also choose between 5 classes with each class being better at something different. For example, the Engineer can build and repair defenses much faster than others and the Heavy uses stronger weapons that allow him to kill large enemies much faster. As a result, teamwork is very important, so when your squad is co-operating like a well-oiled machine, it just feels incredibly satisfying.
Pro Exciting gameplay
In Gears of War you and a squad of several other soldiers fight against the enemies of humanity, using various weapons such as rifles, a shotgun, and even a weapon that fires saw blades. It's very fast paced and a lot of fun, rewarding not only effective use of cover and accurate shooting, but also quick decision making on when to charge your enemy and take them out with your knife or your chainsaw bayonet. This leads to a lot of very intense, sometimes brutal, and always satisfying battles, making Gears of War 4 a really enjoyable ride.
Pro Excellent visuals
Gears of War 4 has some really outstanding visuals with high quality textures, great lighting, and excellent shadow mapping. This makes all of the armored human characters, monstrous lizard-like enemies, and the various lush landscapes filled with ruins look especially good. All of this is turned up a notch with the help of excellent weather effects, such as rain, lighting, and gusts of heavy wind that carry massive objects over your head, giving Gears of War 4 a very cinematic feel.
Cons
Con Overly aggressive AI can be annoying
Unlike most racing games where the AI drives carefully and avoids contact with other cars, the AI in Forza 7 will constantly ram into your car, even on the lowest aggression settings. This can cause you to lose control and spin out quite often, giving the races a feel more similar to riding bumper cars, rather than a race in a professional setting. It's especially ridiculous in races with a high number of racers (10+), where the first turn in a race is "kill or be killed."
Con Most popular Toyota cars have been excluded
Even though Forza 7 has 700 cars, popular Toyota models like AE86, Celica, and even Supra, have been excluded due to licensing issues. This can be a deal breaker for Toyota enthusiasts.
Con Poorly done story
The story has some cool moments, but it mostly focuses on pointless drama and issues that end up feeling like filler because they have no real impact on the story or character building. This coupled with a few plot holes will make you want to press the skip button and just get back into the action.
