The Crew has never looked so gorgeous 🤩🏎️🏁

I was surprised to find out that The Crew Motorfest is already out, I had not been keeping up with this game at all. I was utterly stunned when I realized the game had a free 5-hour trial to play the full game. Yes, your progress carries over if you decide to purchase the game. This made me go from not caring about this game one bit, to then dying to try it out. It's not often brand new games get trials without some sort of paid subscription service such as PS Plus Premium.

I loved The Crew (the first one) and played the daylights out of it. My favorite part was the fact that the entire USA was the open world, there was no game quite like it. The Crew 2 was similar to this, but I didn't really play that one but a few hours.

In comes The Crew Motorfest. This game keeps many of its original features such as having cars, bikes, boats, and airplanes to race with. One thing that is brand new is the open world. No longer is it the entire mainland USA, but instead we are placed on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. This instantly brings me back to my fond memories of playing Test Drive Unlimited and cruising around for countless hours on that huge Hawaii map. I'd say the location for Motorfest may have been inspired by TDU, but the overall look and feel of the game is Forza Horizon. This is not a bad thing though, especially if you are like me and don't own an Xbox and have no access to Forza games.

The first thing I noticed about The Crew Motorfest is just how absolutely stunning the visuals are. I'm a person who very much loves color and boy oh boy does this game have a lot of it. The world made my jaw drop multiple times through the tutorial alone. You just have to see it to believe it. This is with my opting to play 1080p/120fps instead of 4K.

The racing is also very satisfying so far, I just wasn't expecting to like this game. Now here I am trying to conserve my 5-hour trial as best as possible so I am not tempted to purchase the full game.

This game had one of the best opening sequences that I've played. It threw me into a short bit of a variety of different race types. I was partial to the JDM part, but all of it was so much fun. Just wait until you see how good this game looks.
