Its DLC disappears from sale today Forza Horizon 4is my favourite racing game of all time, and a gloriously daft celebration of going fast set in a stunning, pastoral recreation of the UK. If you haven’t played it, you should buy it quick - because it’s being delisted from digital storefronts later this year, and its DLC disappears from sale today. That’s the bad news.

After you’ve beaten the massive flaming walking death basket, that is Aside from its naturally satisfying rhythm and the cool audio dings of success that usually accompany it, I find something innately hilarious about parrying.
