So basically you're taking the skill based typical on road racing elements and combining them with the strategy and exhilaration of offroad racing, without any speed penalties or countdowns for actually you know, racing.

No wonder it scored so much better.

Exactly. Horizon is a game designed for casuals and Driveclub is a game designed for hardcore racers.

If DC is a game for hardcore racers, I really doubt it would be getting the scores that it does.  If anything because DC arcade physics and simulation is the way it is, scores have been all over the place.  In Horizon you can change the game to be more simulation or less Simulation by turning on or off different assist.  This allows the casuals and hardcore racer to tailor the game the way they want.  DC on the other hand has only one type of arcade model and from the reviews it appears you will either love it or hate it.  

What I have gathered from all the different reviews whether positive or negative is that DC is a bare bones arcade racer that looks very pretty.  Since the game does not offer any type of change to what the developer thought was fun, you can either enjoy or hate the experience.  For PS+ user, the good news is that you get a pretty solid demo to check out before making that purchase.
