F1 2016

Congratulations to Codemasters for succeeding to deliver its best F1 simulator so far and one of the most integrated F1 experiences we have ever witnessed. It certainly raises the bar for the games of the genre to come.

Codemasters overcame themselves and created a stunningly attractive F1 simulator. New game's career is the hallmark of sincerity, training laps became a huge challenge and the driver creates life partners with his vehicle. F1 is more fun than ever was before.

F1 2016 really is a huge step in the right direction after horrible 2015 release. Beautiful visuals (except the rubber-faced monstrosities posing as drivers and crew), well-done handling and the emphasis on little nuances of race weekend makes this easily the best game in the franchise. A little more personality traits to different AI drivers and maybe some emphasis on track-side visuals would make it even better. [Sept 2016]

F1 2016 is definitively the best Formula One game Codemasters has ever crafted.

AI wobbles remain, but this is an excellent racing game, and an authentic Formula One experience.

This is a big step for Codemasters – well maybe not that big after last years’ weird “in-between” racing experience. But that aside the strong comeback of the career, the presentation and the good driving physics make this the best Formula 1 game in quite some time.

Quotation forthcoming.

Improved almost everywhere, with a lot of atmosphere, but penalty system, damage system and scope still have room for further improvement.

This is almost certainly the best F1 game from the development team thus far, and a real step up from last year. Codemasters has finally hit its stride in the racing genre, with some quality racing sim titles such as this and Dirt Rally.

Anyone who hasn’t bought an F1 game in a few years should absolutely pick up F1 2016, as should long-time fans of the series. It’s the best Codemasters F1 game yet and, despite a few rough edges, it’s fantastic fun.
