Well…
Thu Feb 08 2024 Luft panzerLook don’t get me wrong it’s a fun game right, I loved Forza for a long time now and I love puzzle games, best of both worlds and they did it great where you can customize cars and what not. But what isn’t so hot is a few things.
-after level 60 you’ll be stuck on a level for a few days up to a week. And it isn’t down to skill. A big issue is it rely on RNG to get a good color balance. Or your just screwed. And unless you by power ups your screwed. It really is unfair to the player to be in a situation where you have to make a non helpful match just to get the color to mix, to match, then to mix. It’s not a good sign to see it shuffle every other move because it’s just not set up well. When your in these levels you’ll go through all your lifes in 5 mins at most, then have to wait 3 and a half hours to get them all back. I’m not sure if this is fixable but it’s really making me want to stop playing. Maybe if the person is in this levels and takes them a few sets of lifes give them a random power up? Something to give us hope.
Kinda disappointed
Tue Dec 05 2023 LivinjeepI was so pumped to play this when I found it. Opened the app, the graphics are awesome, gameplay is very Forza, still super excited. Get my first car; get my first category, drift, okay super rad. Start tearing down the car, then they start talking about solving a puzzle. Instantly I’m like, “I swear to bob, if this is a match the shapes game, I’m deleting it.” Guess what, it’s a match the shapes game, just like every other hot mobile game right now. Right off the bat this game is just like Chrome Valley Customs. Love the graphics, love the Forza Horizon feeling of it, love literally everything about it except for the “match the shapes” puzzles. It’s unoriginal and played out. I still gave it five stars because I love Forza, and I really hope the developers come up with some better puzzle ideas.
Why?
Fri Dec 22 2023 Gamedude01This game was supposed to be awesome, and it almost was for about a week. The main issue is the puzzle aspect. Sure, it is similar to candy crush, big whoop. However, it falls WAY short in terms of playability. The levels get exponentially harder around 85, and I’ve been stuck on 110 for over two weeks now. There really is no skill behind winning the harder levels except hope and pray you get good color matches, or if you purchase power-ups. I don’t have enough coins to purchase power-ups, and won’t be able to progress unless I spend real money or get a stroke of luck. It’s extremely disappointing and I hate how I’m already sucked in and too addicted to stop trying. The rewards for winning each level are slim, and using coins for lives or power-ups is WAY too expensive. On top of that, the game creators missed out on so many opportunities to make this more engaging. The graphics are incredible but all you do is pick out parts of a car. You don’t even get to enter competitions or drive them. They really should look more into this because it has potential, but it’s extremely frustrating and very flawed.
Just another free to play game
Tue Nov 14 2023 GaspatchosoupCame back to the game and it’s still free to play trash. Made it past stage 61 that I was stuck on before. Took many many times without using items to get past it. Had the same experience the next few stages. Kept getting stuck and had to replay the game over and over again. Hit buy more turns on accident and you charge 900 for only 5 turns and then 1200 more. It’s insane with the amount you pay out after each level you complete. To your response on winning puzzles and starting out with the buffs, I was winning all the stages. Got to 61 with almost no losses. Doesn’t help when you program the game to get people to spend money.
Just like other free to play games playing for free only gets you so far. I got to puzzle 61 and after 4 times could not win it. I shouldn’t have to use the saw and all that stuff to pass a puzzle, that stuff should just be for finishing faster and getting a better score something like that. I’m not gonna use that then spend money buying more to be able to play the game. The game also gets pretty boring. I ended up playing maybe once a day till I just quit.
Major fixes
Wed Dec 20 2023 Craigory23The game is great and all. I love the whole concept of the game. I love the graphics. Much better than other games like it. But imo the game needs a lot of bugs fixed. So far I have made it to level 725 and I have found multiple bugs and things that deff need to be fixed. Even the level I’m in at the moment. Is impossible. I’ve been playing the same level for almost a month and a half now and can not pass it. I’ve even spent actual money on this game to help me pass just this one level and still have been stuck on the same level. The game starts off all easier and parts are cheaper. Then the further you make it the harder and more expensive the parts get. And even for the smallest pointless parts causing you to have to pass 3-4 levels before you can upgrade and the levels become impossible. I understand it’s meant to get harder but to the point where it’s been a month and a half and spending money and still can’t pass a level. It becomes aggravating and no longer fun to play anymore. I’ve found myself deleting the game and finding something similar to play.
I’m very disappointed
Thu Feb 08 2024 Li’lOrphanAnnieOkay, I really like the concept of getting to custom design your own cars but what is the point of a game about cars if you don’t get to drive them? Especially when you are the one who designed those cars. That would be like finally getting something that you have wanted for a long time but then having somebody taking it from you and throwing it away. Plus why is there no engine customization? That is literally the main aspect of car tuning! I love the Forza franchise and I consider it one of the best if not the best racing franchises ever, but with that being said, this is not the game I thought it would be. And I don’t think I have to talk about the shape matching aspect since it has already been covered. I feel like Hutch games is one of the only companies that would be able to make a good car customization game but they screwed up so bad that I don’t think I can even call this a Forza game.(if I already reviewed then oops but this game is not what Forza is meant to be)
Topic of confusion
Tue Jan 16 2024 BabaYaga001This game really surprised me considering I hate these “Candy Crush” type matching games. However I’ve played quite a bit of it and I have quickly come to not enjoy it anymore. They give win streak bonuses based off of pure luck and chance so good luck maintaining the bonus when at any point you could get 5 moves to destroy 30 tool boxes and 12 wrenches. Not challenging, just kinda pointless. Then they make you spin a cool wheel only to get the same cars and category as everybody else. Oh and meanwhile you’re spending literal hours on the same level just so you can spend every hard earned coin on jacking the car up…yes lifting the car…not even to cosmetics yet which are even more costly. It starts out great but quickly takes a turn for the worst. The reward isn’t worth playing for hours hoping to get a decent tile placement.
Great early on, then absolutely awful
Tue Dec 19 2023 ChimneyChanga98I’m at level 460 right now and the game is literally not allowing me to pass until I pay for something, I genuinely don’t even know what to buy to be able to get past it. I’ve been on the same level for days, used up every ability I had available to me and I’ve barely gotten anywhere near the win condition. Sure 460 levels is a good amount to go through but the game stopped being fun around 300ish because the levels start being purely luck based unless you pay for boosters or extra moves. The game is a really cool concept (that they aped from a different, less popular game) that’s genuinely interesting through the whole process of breaking down and rebuilding the cars but the actual match 3 gameplay is abysmal once the devs have gotten their hooks in. It feels like they got me addicted to a drug and are now requiring payment for future hits. Well fortunately for me this drug isn’t gonna have any withdrawals, buh bye Forza Customs, it was fun while it lasted.
To fun= rigged
Sun Feb 11 2024 TwistywolfyI like forza, it’s fun and enjoyable but this oh this stinks. First, I see so many potential it has but why a match the box type mobile game? Like do something new at this point because every other game has the same mechanic. Second, why can’t the cars be drivable? I mean I would be cool if you build, make and drive around with your friends or smt but noOOOOo they decided to just make us look at the car we made and not DRIVE IT!! THATS THE POINT OF FORZA MOTORSPORT/ HORIZON!!!!! I really think y’all are desperate for money at this point. The ONLY things I like about this game is the customization for the cars. Great amazing but dam it can I pls drive the car? Also, the levels are hard and to difficult to even progress through the game. And make so I can pay real money to finish the level. And that’s hard for me because I’m a free to play guy I only buy things that are useful or cool but not spend like upgrades for $50 bucks just drivable?
Meh
Sun Nov 05 2023 MaroonedPirateI’ll preface my review by saying I love Hutch Games Top Drives and have been playing it for years. I also love the entire Forza Horizon series. This game is just….ok? You get a rusty car and turn it into a custom ride. This part is great. Now for the gameplay…it’s basically candy crush. Which isn’t bad per say, but you only gain 50 credits at a time and it’s takes around 50 levels to fully finish a car. And then once the car is finished, there nothings really to do with the car. There’s not racing, showing off the car, or anything with it. I’m around level 130 now and the levels are getting to complicated to finish without power ups. The grind is simply not worth the effort since you can’t do anything with the cars. You’re much better off playing Top Drives if you like Hutch games and Forza Horizon if you want a racing game.
