There are about as many ways to design an open world game as there are to play them. More focused games hinge on main quests, with a few extras thrown in—like God of War or Marvel’s Spider-Man—while others bombard you with side quests and distractions. A third category may take either of these approaches, but with the added bonus of letting you make your own fun.

Microsoft Studios’ latest entry into its big budget open world racing franchise, Forza Horizon 4, falls in the last category. Rather, it can, if you’re a certain type of person. There are plenty of Things to Do in this game, make no mistake—there are tons of races to beat, breathtaking jumps to make, tourist photos of landmarks to take, cars to collect, and more. But in the hours I’ve put into the game so far, none of these planned diversions were what grabbed me.
