All elements inserted perfectly and of great effect that in hindsight I regret not having found already in Horizon because they are well made. The variable water showers, the volumetric fog that will prevent you from seeing a stone's throw from your nose, the clouds of dust raised by the tires during dirt races, the crazy vegetation bent by strong gusts of wind. The feeling of being at the mercy of the storm is excellent, as is the decidedly evocative final rendering. Storm Island despite being an offshoot of Forza Horizon 2 offers a new particle system for managing climate effects, with an excellent visual impact.

All those who have purchased the Vip Pass (which allows you to get in-game benefits and exclusive content) will be able to buy it at a halved price, that is to say € 9,99. Storm Island arrives on the Microsoft Xbox One shop at a cost of € 19,99, a relatively fair price based on the content package on offer and the overall quality of this DLC.
And there will be online events, rallies, unmissable challenges and all the collectibles already seen in the main game and here again present to enrich the player's experience. Storm Island offers 90 new events, divided into 5 different categories: Rampage, Brawl, Cross Country Circuit, Extreme Cross Country and the new Gauntlet races, which will see us protagonists of night races in disastrous weather conditions and bad visibility. Those unfamiliar with the settings have nothing to fear as we will be guided and advised by the game on which parts to replace and which tires to mount to face the race. The set-up of the various vehicles will also be revised, setting various parameters to adapt the machines to the rough terrain we are going to face, making them competitive. While there are no substantial gameplay changes, however, it will be necessary to adapt to the new driving style, "more slippery" compared to the past, choosing braking times well and anticipating curves when necessary. So drifting, dirt tracks that become rivers of mud after the first drops and many off-road races will be the leitmotif of this expansion.
The entire DLC provides a twist towards a more rally driving model, always keeping the arcade approach of the original title intact. Storm Island offers 90 new events, divided into 5 different categories If in Forza Horizon 2 we found ourselves traveling the sunny roads of the French coast or the gentle slopes of the Tuscan hills during the beautiful summer season, interspersed from time to time by some showers, in Storm Island we will be at the mercy of sudden storms and extreme weather conditions, that will affect the outcome of the races.All this translates into poor visibility during our games, due to the walls of water or the banks of fog that will rise after the heavy rains, which will make it more difficult to orient yourself during the frantic off races -road in the fields or woods of Storm Island. Even here to get to victory it will be necessary to win the various Grand Prix, each of which will unlock a special event that will put us at the helm of one of the new vehicles available in this DLC.
In Storm Island we will be at the mercy of sudden storms and extreme weather conditionsĪfter having experienced the joys of the Horizon festival it is time to make a little detour on the Storm Island, location of this new stage that will take us to race in extreme conditions among the muddy roads of an island with a tropical climate.
A little less than 2 months after its debut, the first, full-bodied, DLC arrives on our consoles.
