Its really weird. Everywhere you look at FH4 reviews there is nothing but praise being poured out onto this game. Now, I know that publishers buy a certain amount of loyalty from major journalism groups and streamers but I’m seeing positive reviews even from smalltime YouTube’s and even the reviews that don’t recommend the game are struggling to find faults.
I honestly came across a youtuber by the name of Skill Up who said that he wouldn’t recommend the game after spending 10 mins of his 15 min video saying how great the game was. This guy even said at the start of the review that he doesn’t even like racing games much. So why didn’t he recommend the game? Because he said he prefers games with lots of progression and the idea that someone can buy supercars with expansion packs while he has to earn them feels like he is being punished for wanting to progress without paying cash. Amazing! He had no issues with the game at all. It doesn’t get better than a negative review that can’t even say anything bad about the game itself. 
Well done Playground!
