Horizon 4 takes place in the Lake District and the South of Scotland, more specifically, the lowlands. Edinburgh is lowland. I'll show you from the map below of the game. The map is nice and clear, jampacked with loads of activities. For the map in which should be credited towards Xcom2 or whomever I got the image from. 

If you look carefully on the first real life map, you can see Derwent Lake. Whilst Edinburgh is north east from the lake district. Obviously in real life they're not as close and confined, unlike in the game. After all it's not meant to be hyper realistic because it's an arcade sim. 

What I love about the game is how detailed the actual place so happened to be. I can see such land marks as Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, Glen Rannoch. Glenfinnan Viaduct (The one in Harry Potter 2, in case you've wondered what the viaduct was called) and many other places to list. 

The cars vary between British classic icons towards some absolute exotic cars such as the W Motors Lykan HyperSport. I would have to post the video of all of the cars you can get within the game. One of my prefer cars is the Mclaren F1, always fun to drive in racing games. I was honestly surprised I didn't buy one at all until just now. So I'm going to show you the collection below because I'm not going to list every car marque from around the world and ones that are local to the UK, even if they're foreign owned. 

You can also go to Legoland, well that's what I'm going to call it because I'm too lazy to look it to be honest with you on that one. I have a video of me using a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle and performing some stunts with the car. It was quite enjoyable, and honestly a bloody beast of a car if you modify it extremely well. I'll show you what I mean for 2 2different videos below. One of them was to annoy one of my coworkers with, because he thought his 65 mustang would curb stomp Horace. 

Please forgive me about the second one having no sound until like a few seconds. If I recall. I tried removing the music but was an idiot and forgotten one simple rule, it's a lot more complicated and removes audio entirely. But either way it proves my point. What you can do on Lego Island is obviously race, and you have collectables and oh don't forget about being a master builder. I honestly have no actual clue why a lot of Lego games in general are made in the UK. That includes the whole Horizon series. There is also Fortune Island and if done right, you can get 10 million credits quite easily. 

The other main thing I liked about the game, is that you get to own businesses and you can own property. Even Edinburgh Castle, but however you technically don't own the castle itself. It most certainly rakes in a lot of passive income, so you can use that money to buy more cars or whatever you fancy buying. Edinburgh Castle was a pain to purchase due to it being a whopping £15million and doing so was a grind. However it was worth my time, and I'm still trying to figure out the last barn find. 

Barn Finds are great in itself because a few of them are British icons and it also references a show called Ashes To Ashes, the hit BBC television show about policing and set in the early 80's. That's when the Audi Quatro comes into the equation.  

I'll admit that I don't really play online multiplayer all that much because I prefer to be alone. When I do it's a lot of fun doing community based stuff, getting enough points, or doing races and other playground based games. Kinda wished they did their own football or rugby matches like the old Top Gear did. Speaking of Top Gear they're apart of the game, but however they're not the same as the original 3. They're nowhere near as funny or feel entertained. You also get a fair amount of missions to do on all 3 areas in the game, so don't fret about being bored, unless you've done everything, including collectables.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten to mention you have seasons and the weather dynamics is wonderous, exotic looking, sometimes challenging (please equip winter tyres if needed) and feels authentic with it raining a lot. You don't really see that much fog to be honest with you, in which that's a bit odd. 

Ok now the final thing to say. Would I recommend playing Horizon 4, whilst waiting for the 5th one? Why yes I bloody damn well do. If you have gamepass, play the game you would enjoy it. I've played it ever since 2018 and been through a lot of seasons. It's practically free, apart from the DLC. The only thing I'm not exactly that thrilled over, is eliminator. Why does it have to be battle royale? BR is only fine if it's Fortnite, Warzone, Apex, PUGB or whatever the Korean game is called and FOAD.
