In Horizon 1 and 2 the goal of the game was to be the best pilot of the festival. OK. I had statistics showing me how my progress was until I reached that goal.
In Horizon 3 I was the chief of the festival and the goal was to expand the festival as much as possible. Again I had statistics for me to keep up with.
In Horizon 4 I did not find these statistics and then I ask you, what is the purpose of the game? How do I know that I am progressing or not? I’m really confused by this.
Many thanks to all who respond.
You pretty mutch finnish game in that point when you complete first year (prologue part) Then there is road racing/dirt/cross county/street race championship you can win after that it’s just like keira say “what you really want is gold wristband” so there is nothing like finnishing the game like there was in fh3.
It’s like real life, you can set whatever goals you want. Some examples of things you can try to achieve:
- own every house
- smash every bonus board
- get 1000 gamerscore
- get 3 stars on all PR stunts
- complete all Horizon stories with 3 stars
- reach the maximum level for each discipline
- own every car, including those that cannot be purchased through the autoshow
- apply all car masteries to every car
- own every item of clothing, horn, emote, quickchats including those that cannot be won via wheelspins
- reach #1 on every rivals leaderboard
- reach #1 on every PR stunt leaderboard
- reach #1 on every Horizon story leaderboard
- become a grandmaster at ranked team adventure (you can’t achieve all of the other ones if you can’t achieve this, at least not at the moment)

Under the menu look in Stats, there is a progress tab that will show you what you need to do to complete the things that are measured.
Also look at Horizon Life, there is loads to do there before you can say you have “completed” Horizon 4.
It is sad that people still cant work this out for themselves.

As long as they keep adding Weekly Championships and Forzathons you cannot “finish” the game. The END just keeps moving out there and I don’t see that as a bad thing.

That’s one of the best things about it, honestly. There’s no one ‘goal’. per-ce. The prologue, I suppose, is one thing, because you’ve got to grind through that before the game really begins, which is kind of annoying. But after that, there’s an open world to mess around in, and a bunch of goals you can accomplish along the way, but you’re not really pressured into doing any of them. You’re free to proceed at your own pace, and achieve whichever ones you want, or are most capable of, and disregard any you’re not necessarily interested in. Horizon 3 had that to a certain extent, but there was still that carrot driving you to the end credits. Horizon 4 has carrots, but respects you enough to understand that you don’t necessarily always need them.
The progression like FH1 and FH2 had is largely gone from FH4 sadly. The prologue at the beginning and the treasure hunt on Fortune Island is as much as you’ll see of that. Wouldn’t mind at all if they brought this sort of story progression back to future Horizon games (and spun off multiplayer into a separate game mode like in FH1 so I don’t have to have constant nags to go online and share my world with other players).
In terms of the completion percentage tracker, there’s a huge list of things, but it’s more completing the game in the sense of grinding every achievement out of it rather than just finishing the main story.
For me personally, I like to collect all the cars so I consider the game complete when I’ve gotten all the reasonably obtainable ones (i.e. not the vaporware preorder cars that show up once in a blue moon on the AH with a 20 mil buyout) and also fully explored the map (completed all races/pr stunts, smashed all the signs). As long as new cars are being added to the game I’ll generally not consider it completed since I do enjoy at least trying out all the vehicles.
Thank you very much everyone’s attention.
Sorry for the delay in returning here. I had no way to return before.
