   Yearly releases are always slightly difficult to review. Do you review the year-on-year update or the release as if it was a standalone. I think ultimately a bit of a both and you would probably be disappointed with either.
   
   Bugs - At release there are a number of game breaking and annoying bugs. Particularly on PC we're missing any proper rumble feedback on controllers and many wheel/pedal set ups are causing big performance issues. There are also many bugs related to HDR. All of this is before even looking into the gameplay. It's also worth noting that the new EA answers forum seems to be atrocious compared to the old Codemasters forum. Glad they saved a buck eh..
   
   Graphics - I'm not usually too harsh on the graphics but ultimately this is a very last generation release. If you ignore the relatively pointless ray-tracing (where you just have to use a poor implementation of DLSS) the visual of the game as a whole are just poor. The models and liveries look ok but there are so many lacking area. The game still presents a bit cartoony due to the lighting method they use, the skyboxes are ridiculously low resolution and end up looking blocky and the wet weather is downright shameful for a series this mature. The track barely evolves, real vfx water spray is non-existent (instead relying on camera techniques), the rain looks like strange dark smoke hanging in the air. Even project-cars 2 (a series they own!) got this much better about 6 years ago. I think even the old F1 games of the PS4 era looked better in this regard. The graphics engine needs a big overhaul next time round and most would appreciate some patch work even for this one.
   
   Gameplay - Honestly, so little has changed from last time that there's not much to add. The physics model is still in that accessible semi-sim state. Airflow and downforce are not simulated in real-time but rather grip values applied depending on things that change. I'm not a super-sim guy so this works relatively fine for me, apart from in wet-weather where the track surface seems to have no impact on driving what-so-ever. Pad driving at release is worse with a very large built-in deadzone which makes quick change of direction very difficult. The devs also seem to focus a little too much on a loose back-end and making traction tricky. The wheels spin probably to often compared to the real thing.
   
   Career mode is basically identical and has the same issues with driver stats getting messed up by facility upgrades. I was certainly hoping to see big leaps forward. Following the trajectory of the FIFA career mode over the last 10 years, I'm very concerned that CM will follow suit and focus on other micro-transaction driven modes.
   
   Audio - In-car audio is generally good and I would say gets better each release. They also include a 'cinematic' mix now, likely for those that like it sounding more like Netflix. The external audio however is a constant disappointment. So much of the sound complexity that you get watching the cars live is missing and they end up sounding like hairdryers which makes replays difficult to watch. Certainly an area that needs a big up-lift, to help with watching e-racing if anything! New soundtrack isn't bad though.
   
   F1 Life - There's nothing to review. It's not a thing. Couple of poorly modelled supercars/2 minute challenges. If you spend money on coins to buy the 'items' to place around your 'home' or avatar 'clothes', you likely have a problem that needs medical help.
   
   Overall - I've not been this disappointed since F1 2015. A game they knew was awful but charged far too much for. The year-on-year updates to visuals/gameplay/career are almost non-existent to my eye and with the EA mandated price increase it just feels like theft if you own the previous game. As a standalone and if CM/EA can get the wide range of bugs fixed then the game isn't terrible. It looks poor but plays well enough and the racing is perhaps enough to justify a middling 5 rating.… Expand

   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

   Instead of fixing ongoing bugs, problems they bring updates which create more bugs, problems and optimization issue.
   
   When game came out, at Baku circuit the game is run on slow fps by comparison on other tracks. Alright, its acceptable. But right **** now racing at Baku is impossible.
   
   Price? Don't even get into that subject. This is the last F1 game that i bought. Great job EA. You destroyed everyting that good in two years for F1 fans.… Expand
