Forza horizon 6. Graphics are fantstic.

yeah for sure there are hitman elements, and where hitman is all about not getting caught, bond lets you adapt and go loud like bond would, and it works very well. the game is excellent and i really enjoyed it, however ,where it falls down for me is replayability, the tacsim mode is incomplete and just a series of short challenges in small areas of the maps, no alternative routes and different ways to do things which i was really hoping for. bond is its own game with hitman influences, just do go into thinking its a hitman game in a bond skin because it that what i did and was left a little disappointed as a result. 

Would you say its worth a punt at £70?

You can get it for about £45-50 now and I would say so

@shen the FF7 remakes are fun and all but they're definitely not FF7. There's some similarity in the story but it's very, very much a different game.

 

FF8 is mechanically mixed, mostly hilariously awful but I think the story, music and vibe are pretty much peak Final Fantasy for me.

 

I think a gamer trying the series for the first time in 2026, you want to play something from 6 to 10 because they're the peak of the series. But the others might feel a bit dated or (in the case of 8) I'm honest enough to admit that when you put nostalgia aside, the mechanics aren't great.

 

So X is the best compromise. It's a decent story, solid gameplay, it looked great at the time and is going to stand up the most out of all the others. 

 

If you genuinely give 0 ****s at all about graphics, start with 7. 

 

Edit: oh and 8 has the best mini game of all time in any game.

My problem is I have a PS5 Pro digital edition so I have no choice but to buy it from the PS Store, which is now £60 

 

I’ll still pick it up tbh but might give it a few weeks and see if it drops a bit.

i really enjoyed it and i rarely buy games on release unless i can get them discounted. its a very good bond game and plays well, and i will replay it, if you love bond and hitman then yes, its worth the price

Yeah the FF7 remake doesn't appeal to me. But that's the one on offer. FFX is sadly not on offer here.

I'm completely down with pixel and 'weak' graphics. Might consider FF6 or FF8 then.

Since the turn of the year game pass on xbox has been releasing ff games in order. Ff6 was released this morning. Ive done each one so far using a guide ( just for the achievements ). Now my choice is do i start ff6 or carry on with forza horizon which has me hooked.

Pretty much nail on head. Though i quite like the mechanics of FF8 and how the enemies scale with you. Also it has Doomtrain. Beast of a summon

Why does the new Witcher 3 expansion have to be sooooo far away?

I love 8. It's my favourite, I love the story and I think it's hilarious how easily you can break the gameplay with the junction system...

 

 

 

 

 

But I do hesitate a bit when recommending it to people because I don't disagree that compared to materia or the the sphere grid it just isn't great.
