That’s why it’s ideal for this type of player: Forza Horizon 4 is an open-world racing game from the famous Forza series. This time, you drive around in virtual Great Britain, so watch out for left-hand traffic!
If you’re into cars and wild races, you’ll find yourself well-suited in Forza Horizon 4. Here you have over 400 cars at your disposal and many hundreds of miles of track await you.
Also, pay attention to the brand new seasons system in the 4th installment. The same track is entirely different when you drive it in spring or winter. For instance, a lake may freeze in winter and allow you to stylishly drive over the ice to reach areas that would otherwise be blocked off.

That’s why it’s ideal for this type of player: Gears 5 is the 5th game in the Gears of War series. You fight as human soldiers against disgusting insect aliens. In part 5, the story of the soldier Kait is in the foreground.
Gears 5 is for those who enjoy brutal action and cover shooters – optionally also in co-op. You dash from cover to cover and use a variety of cool sci-fi weapons to take on the nasty aliens. You can also use the terrain, for example, shooting through frozen lakes so that the creatures drown.
When the campaign, which can also be played with up to 3 friends, is over after about 12 hours, there’s still a fun multiplayer mode. There’s deathmatch and co-op, along with a mode called Escape, where you must escape multiple levels of an alien building.

That’s why it’s ideal for this type of player: The legendary The Witcher 3 is perfect for all fans of action RPGs who are not interested in cheesy fantasy worlds. Here you will encounter a dirty, corrupted world where every good deed can have dire consequences.
You play as the grumpy witcher Geralt of Rivia, who just wants to drink vodka, seduce women, and hunt monsters in peace. However, the events surrounding the invasion of a vile empire and Geralt’s adopted daughter Ciri pull him deeper into a deadly tangle of intrigues and mysteries.
In The Witcher 3, you can freely move in a huge game world and make many decisions. Often, it is only later revealed what consequences your actions have. In between, you fight huge monsters and collect better and better equipment. One reason for the newfound popularity of The Witcher 3 might be the new Witcher series on Netflix.
