It's a graphical wonder on maxed out settings. Very detailed cars, nice environment, and pretty spectacular effects.
Cons
Con Starting and loading the game takes time
Con No circuit based events
Most races are point to point straight line races which lessens the challenge in an open world.
Con Reseting failed races takes time
There's actually an option in menu to restart current event.
Con Not a proper Burnout successor
The game is entirely based on the city and the open world and revolves everything around these two things plus collecting scores. The events seem less interesting and undertoned as well as slightly repetitive. Appears as a spin-off more than belonging to the main series, even in the title Paradise is written bigger than Burnout.
Con No car tuning, only color changes
Con Online DRM
Computer must be online when game is launched after every boot. If you'll be without internet for a long time, you'll be without Forza.
Con Windows Store exclusive
Cannot be purchased from other popular game distribution platforms like Steam.
Con Quite buggy
Frequently quits to desktop with no reason
