    Gráficos maravilhosos, mas ainda há a sensação de repetitividade da franquia… Ainda há necessidade de adicionar modos de jogo que enriqueçam a experiência e que deixe menos repetitivo.

    It's really nice to see Xbox finally winning again (and PC wins anyway, because PC gets all Xbox and Playstation games). But Forza Horizon is amazing racing game, one of the best, if not the best. It has DeLorean, what else do you want? Amazing graphics, even better than FH4.

Halo Infinite Multiplayer is amazing and it's easily best shooter of 2021, both BF and COD look like jokes compared to it. Can't wait for Halo campaign in December. Good times!… Expand

    Forza Horizon 5, like Forza Horizon 4 before, is the best arcade racing game right now. However, this game bring so much improvement like graphics (Which is amazing) better car handling overall and the world of Mexico is so gorgeous and had a lot of variety (the world giving me some FH3 vibe), much better than Forza Horizon 4 flat Britain.

However, this game bring so much improvement like graphics (Which is amazing) better car handling overall and the world of Mexico is so gorgeous and had a lot of variety (the world giving me some FH3 vibe), much better than Forza Horizon 4 flat Britain.

    However, there's someplace that this game that dissapoint me a bit, and that is soundtrack, idk but the music in this game a little weaker than FH4 (although there's some good music too).

    From performance perspective, this game running smoothly on my laptop (i5 7300H, GTX 1050 4GB VRAM, 8GB Ram) with combined medium and low setting i can get stable 60fps, although this game really need SSD because the loading in this game take a very long time if you play this game on HDD.

    Now on to the bad stuff :
    First, like i mention above, the soundtrack is a bit weaker than FH4

    Second, There's connection problem in this game, in freeroam i usually get disconnect suddenly so often but this problem has been patched but still can get disconnect but not as often than before.

    Third, still kinda connect to the second bad stuff above, when playing open racing online there's also some connection problem? idk. Because sometimes when i start a race, other racer is just standing still at the start line and not moving at all, but after i cross the finish line i finish 2nd place, WHAT??

    Fourth is probably performance, as stated above i don't really have performance problem, but this game need SSD due to long loading (my friend also have low streaming bandwith due to using HDD too).

    Fifth is the removal of ranked race, i mean come on. I play hundreds of hours of FH4 because the ranked is really fun and competitive unlike the quick match that just the place for trolling. (This is just my personal opinion so don't hate me please).

    Overall this game is still the best arcade racing game right now, but probably like others that already review this game before me, this game is too much like FH4 and i agree but i don't care because i love this game so much and this game will become my primary racing game for years to come.    … Expand

The driving mechanics are also much improved and feels a little but more like forza motorsport, which is a good thing. Going fast in this game actually feels like you are going fast unlike in horizon 4 where going 200 mph and 100 mph felt exactly the same. Also the map is much better than horizon 4s boring map of the UK. Horizon 5’s Mexico is much more varied in terms of environment and it looks a hell of a lot better too. The game overall is nearly flawless, however there are issues that need to be fixed asap. The biggest issue at the moment is the connection issues this game keeps having.

    It's the same cringe-fest as Horizon 3 and 4. There is no innovation since Horizon 2 which was a really great game. It's sad to see all these reviewers giving it 9-10 ratings. It's like if the game was brainwashing people. And I don't even consider all technical issues with the pc version.

On the plus side the map is bigger and more diverse. Also the new car sounds are not bad, although still far from realistic. Unfortunately that's about it, as everything else you could see at FH4. On the negative side, there are almost no new cars and some old ones are missing (hello alpha fans). Car physics now is even more arcade-like, hypercars can easily go 200+kph offroad and you don't even need to steer.There are problems with the graphics on the PC, even on ultra very low rendering range. Personally, I think the cars look worse than in FH4. They've become more plastic, maybe it's the reflections. I've heard about the crashing problems, but it didn't affect me. I play on a gamepad, so I haven't had any problems connecting the steering wheels either. But these technical problems annoy many people and can say that the game released raw.
    My opinion is that in its current form this game can get a maximum rating of 4.5 / 10.    … Expand

    More slot machine cosmetics like glitter pimp shoes, purple hip hop jacket and pink fedora
    Same driving as other FH but the map is just boring. It feels all over the place and never makes an area into something believable or interesting like FH 4 and 3 did respectively. Add to that the insanity of the microtransactions and you're paying about 150-200 dollars for a slotmachine reskin.

    There surely are 50+h of solid fun to be had. However, overall, the game is very disappointing and far from being a masterpiece.

However, overall, the game is very disappointing and far from being a masterpiece. It feels like a lot of wasted potential, with lazy and cheap design decisions that make the game worse than its predecessor, especially in QoL and endgame. Yes, particle effects, lighting and texture quality have improved significantly, but at the cost of running choppy, 20-30% slower and/or very aliased. The soundtrack is shockingly bad.

    There are many examples of questionable design. Online Racing is a joke, there is no possibility to choose what races you want to do. There was an option to tune your car before a race. This was then abused, you were able to select an overpowered tune - so instead of limiting the choice they just removed the option altogether! Now you have to drive back and forth to your home or a festival location to tune your car. There was an option to do Horizon Tour races from the menu, they removed it. Now you have to drive to the map marker every time. There still is no acceptable solution for browsing custom races, you have to put in codes from reddit like it was Nintendo in 2009. Don't even think of the option to create your own championships.

    There is no meaningful progression, e.g. unlocking cars, classes or tuning parts. So they nerfed wheelspins that you only get 1k rewards regularly. In online free roam, people still just vanish to thin air. In menus, races don't even have individual thumbnails and are stripped of infos like weather or time or class. Most of the story missions take 5 min to get to, watch 1 min of boring cutscene to then drive some nonsensical car crosscountry for 53 seconds. For every minute of racing you have to do 10 minutes of stuff. It's ridiculous. You can drive in sandstorms but the vegetation does not react to it whatsoever, it's just a sepia filter. The seasons just alternate between wet and brown. Not to mention the plethora of bugs.

    When you (can) open up and start the game for the first time it looks like a delicious meal with appetizer, entrée, main and dessert, plus a cigar and a wonderful wine, but you then discover this is all put in a blender and spoon-fed to you until you vomit.

    No doubt this is one of the economically most succesful titles of all times, given how much is recycled and sourced out and how well it sold. I can't help but feel like in a fast food shop where they intentionally design the space so you don't stay for too long. Would be nice if Mike Brown actually would be working on improving the game design instead of sitting on a couch all the time.    … Expand

    It's a good looking game and the driving is solid, but it feels like Forza Horizon 4,5. The new map is better then the map in FH4, but it feels to much of the same. When they make FH6, i hope they take a look at Riders Republic, and get some inspiration, and try out totally new stuff, because it's getting stale.

    Utter garbage on PC. Total luck on whether the game decides to co-operate and let you play it each and every time you start it up. It either crashes or tanks frame rates to an unplayable level (and this is on an RTX 3080 mobile with 11800H @ 1080P on HIGH settings). Just play it on Xbox instead.

    The biggest strike against the PC version is the RAM usage. This game has had a terrible memory leak since release that is still not fixed. I get frequent "low memory" warnings that eventually leads to poor performance and crashes. I have 16 GB of RAM in my PC, which meets the recommended requirements.

    Given that it released over two months ago, and the PC version still isn't really playable, I've given up on the game.    … Expand

    La variedad de autos es super amplia, lamentablemente faltan algunos autos de los ultimos 2 años, que se agregaran como DLCs y de pago, El sonido se mejoro muchisimo, y ahora cambia dependiendo de las mejoras que tenga el auto. Me sorprendio mucho la ausencia de Alfa Romeo y Fiat, siendo 2 marcas muy representativas del mundo automotor, en el Forza Horizon 4 si estaban

    Graficamente es espectacular, no me gusto mucho que en esta edicion se centraran en el fotorealismo de los escenarios, me hubiera gustado que invertieran en mejorar los autos ya que hay algunos interiores o moteres que no estan modelados.

    Noto que hay mucha menor variedad de musicas que en el juego anterior, ya despues de un par de horas de juego ya se empiezan a repetir una y otra vez, ademas de que algunas canciones tienen partes que censuran la voz

    Ahora vienen los puntos negativos y es la mala optimizacion que tiene el juego y la cantidad de fallos; abuso excesivo de recursos, me llego a consumir el 100% del CPU y los 16Gb de RAM, caidas extremas de fps obligandome a reiniciar el juego, crasheos, bugs visuales, y muchisimos problemas para encontrar partidas y conectarme a internet.

    And the worst thing is that actually treat their players like it's some sort of a free to play mobile game with time gated exclusive cars, daily login bonuses and stuff like that.

    It's a step down from FH4, map is boring, hot wheels dlc is weak. Only thing they did great are car sounds. For me after this much time game still has some graphical artifacts - no matter if it's set to ultra or extreme still same bugs. I regret purchasing premium edition. Definetly not worth the money.

    Seems fun and pretty but basically the same as FH4 with different scenery. These bland racing games aren't really for me though so you might like it more. I'd like to see VR support since playing Cars in VR is way more exciting then this brand new game on a flat monitor.

    Forza Horizon 5 is finally here! Played it on two systems. A PC with a Ryzen 7 3700X and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR. Graphics settings were configured with the Ultra preset. The other one was a laptop with an Intel Core i7-10750H and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q. One notable thing about the install on the laptop was that I installed it on a spinning hard drive.

    The game performed fantastically, excepting of course for the connectivity issues surrounding the launch. I will not dock points for that because the game is still playable in offline mode and it's something I saw coming with the 4.5 million players at launch.
    The visuals look stunning and managed to maintain a rock solid 60FPS during normal gameplay on my PC.
    The game really performs best at higher settings if you play with an SSD. I ran into the Low Streaming Bandwidth issue twice during the opening drive when running at High on my laptop.
    The controls are responsive and don't need too many micro adjustments when steering compared to its predecessor.

    As someone who enjoyed Forza Horizon 3 but never managed to get into Forza Horizon 4, maybe due to the locale, I was ready to trash this game. But despite the inevitable eyerolling woke tropes, this game really hits the spot.

But despite the inevitable eyerolling woke tropes, this game really hits the spot.

    The locale is beautiful, particularly the dramatic elevation changes, the sounds are massively improved, including changes to the sound when upgrading exhausts, and the physics feel meatier and more realistic. The graphics are also noticeably better, which I didn't think would be possible, though the increased demand on the system is proportionally higher. A 1080ti can get you a smooth above-60fps experience on mostly maxed out settings. I did note that all 16 threads on my 3700x are quite active throughout, so I'm not sure what performance is like with fewer threads. Also, if you're not using an SSD, your loading times and ingame texture streaming are likely going to suffer.

    Never tested the online here, which appears to be where the bulk of the complaints are coming from, but I haven't experienced any bugs and maybe just one crash.

    Basically, the driving itself is a joy, the music has some nice bangers and plenty of variety, and while all the different events, which lack narrative direction, can get a little overwhelming, it will provide you with countless hours of entertainment.    … Expand

    This game is FAR from finished. No matter what car you use, the AI is much faster, has infinite grip when taking turns at high speed, and turns unrealistically. Also, the optimization is probably worse than Horizon 3. Then, there's the random bugs that bring your car down from 200 mph to 0 in a blink. Besides that, it's the same Forza formula that you're well accustom to by now.

    The graphics, lighting and weather effects are some of the best we've seen in a racing game, but of course it's all about the cars. Although this is an arcade racer that does not focus on realism but rather on short and fast action, the cars behave truthfully and react differently whether you are driving on a track, on the street or off road. The controls have been kept simple, making the game accessible to just about anyone. Altogether, this makes Forza Horizon 5 the most fun racing game of the moment.

    Forza Horizon 5 still is a great racing game, but there’s no denying that the series is in a torpor-like state. It’s obvious that Playground is afraid not only to innovate, but to make any sort of significant change to a successful formula. [Issue#257, p.64]

    I don't think there's a motoring enthusiast who won't be excited about Forza Horizon 5, with a slight caveat for those who have had their fill of Forza Horizon 4 and might want more of the same - though honestly, I can't imagine how the formula could be improved upon, which in the arcade driving department is bordering on perfection. It promises and delivers an incomparably customizable driving experience, with dream-cars, in breathtaking landscapes.
