    F1 2022: A Disappointing Racing Experience

    F1 2022 was eagerly anticipated as the latest installment in the series, but unfortunately, it failed to live up to those expectations. The experience the game delivers has left many players feeling disappointed. Here's a review outlining this negative experience:

    Visual Shortcomings:

    F1 2022 falls short in terms of visuals. The game's graphics don't seem to have made a significant leap compared to previous versions. Car models and track designs are plagued with lackluster details and uninspiring visual effects. When compared to other racing games, F1 2022 lacks the visual allure that players have come to expect.

    Repetitive Gameplay:

    F1 2022 also disappoints in terms of gameplay mechanics. The core gameplay offers an experience that closely resembles its predecessors. The lack of innovation and variation results in the game feeling dull and repetitive. The excitement and novelty one anticipates from a new F1 game are regrettably absent from F1 2022.

    Weak Content Delivery:

    The game's content delivery is another letdown. The career mode offers limited and unsatisfactory options. The lack of diversity in game modes makes it difficult for players to stay engaged for an extended period. Rather than providing a rich and fulfilling content experience, F1 2022 greets players with shallow and insufficient content.

    Conclusion:

    F1 2022 stands out as a game that has disappointed the series' fans. It delivers a subpar visual experience, a gameplay that feels repetitive, and a lackluster content offering. The failure of the game to meet expectations has left F1 enthusiasts dissatisfied this time around.    … Expand

    This is the worst Codemasters F1 game this decade. The graphics are terrible, the optimization is bad, the handling is terrible (you could bring back the handling from F1 2020 but no, instead you chose to make it much worse), driving an F1 car without TC is crap, you can't normally drive even if the throttle is only 25% NO classic cars, they decide to add random supercars instead, reallyThis is the worst Codemasters F1 game this decade.

    Pretty mediocre F1 game. Cars tend to understeer and playing with TC lower than Medium is a pain. Also, do not even consider trying it out if you are playing with a controller. Plenty of bugs, not worth buying.

    This game is definitely not a great game but I would not call it a bad game either. It clearly has many issues and the online gameplay is very poor. The handling is also very stiff and it does not feel realistic at all. The game is also very overpriced and is not worth it if I was to get a F1 game for a PC I would always just get a game like Assetto Corsa and buy a RSS 2022 F1 car mod.This game is definitely not a great game but I would not call it a bad game either.

    I dont recommend this game at all. I was looking out for the VR expierence. But the performance is bad, Even on a modern gaming PC with RTX 3080 and low graphics settings the performance isnt good enough. Conistent stuttering as soon as you move your head. The good old Assetto Corsa (with all its flaws) is still a much better VR racing experience than F1 22. Running Assetto Corsa on highI dont recommend this game at all.

Running Assetto Corsa on high graphics settings offers much better graphics than F1 22 on low settings. While Assetto Corsa offers a much better FPS performance with much less stuttering. Another drawback is that you cant put away the halo completely in F1 22. That also kills the experience. In Assetto Corsa you can also drive older F1 cars than dont have the annoying Halo. So if you aree looking for a VR racing experience: dont buy F1 22. But go for something else like Assetto Corsa or maybe Drift 2.0. Both have some bugs and are older. But still offer a much better VR racing experience.… Expand

    Instead of fixing the ongoing problems of online, they add super cars, furniture.

    I’ve put in over 400 hours in he last two games and the same problems that plagued those games are still very much here… a game full of potential as the driving model is fantastic but the bugs and lack of a stable online structure will leave you bored and frustrated very quickly.

    Once again Codemasters (and EA) have delivered a buggy mess that consistently suffers from crashing on PC. Even when you can get it to work, there are so many in-game bugs that you are unlikely to get through a single race without experiencing one that will destroy your enjoyment.

    This is also coupled with predatory microtransactions that fleece you for money at every turn.

    Sadly all of this covers up some genuinely impressive progression in AI programming, with more natural mistakes that make for a more immersive experience - on the rare occasions the game is playable.

    At time of writing, EA has published a roadmap for fixing, but this isn't good enough for a full price game - especially one that is so graphically dated, expensive and so laden with predatory microtransactions.

    Purchased on PC, origin, yet the game is unplayable due to the fact it can't work with Steam.

    Lee Mather the director at Codemasters has conned the market by claiming PC will work, but only mentioned post release that it doesn't with.

    His shares are linked to sales. His incompetency know no level. He is scum and has robbed the market in true EA fashion

    Formula 1 has had a big makeover this season, but that's not really the case for F1 22. The game gets a few nice extra's with F1 Life, such as racing with Supercars, but it isn't groundbreaking. Codemasters has built the game on a solid foundation however and the career modes are still excellent and expanded. The racing is also improved a bit, but not as much as in the real sport itself. F1 22 isn't the revolution that fans maybe expected, but it's a good evolution, especially if you like to game in VR.

    F1 22 is one of the best racing games on the market, especially when it comes to the career mode. I’m also happy with the VR support, but putting so much emphasis on supercars and cosmetic items is a step in the wrong direction.
