Sometimes ignorance can be bliss. Certain games are a lot more enjoyable when you play them with the minimum amount of prior knowledge and little or no expectations beyond looking for fun. Having recently watched Chris “Wolfy” Neal stream the open world driving game Forza Horizon 5, I created an Xbox account and installed it. Furthermore, thanks to fellow blogger Wilhelm Arcturus, I secured a deal on the Xbox Game Pass. The first month of the subscription was just £1. So for the last week I’ve been driving around a virtual representation of Mexico, indulging in all sorts of vehicular shenanigans. My driving skills are negligible beyond a basic understanding of how to accelerate, brake and steer using a Xbox controller. I am oblivious of the back story of this franchise and unfamiliar with the game’s seasons. But I’ve managed to figure things out as I go along (a major coup). And most importantly I’m having fun.
