    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.

    First of all, I wanted to point out that I'm tired of seeing these 9/10 grades from game publishers. Are these articles written for blind people?
    First of all it's all good old slightly naive Forza. Although it's still nice to play, but it's too expensive because it's literally an addon to FH4.

    First of all it's all good old slightly naive Forza. Although it's still nice to play, but it's too expensive because it's literally an addon to FH4. 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

    7 for the game, 0 for the series. Blame capitalism. F**k two-new-iPhones-per-year-with-no-improvements business model. Forza Horizon could be as good as CS:GO or Dota 2, but the devs prefer milking.

    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.

    Since the game out Devs dont care about fixing main bugs with texture rendering etc. Lack of new content. Copy-paste car list from previous game. Lack of new car models from 2019-2022. So I you thinking about buying this game, it is not worth it.

    I will say that Part 4 is made more voluminous and diverse than this piece copied from part 4 is smaller than that of the main game. There is nothing new here, and even less.
    In fact, this is just a small addition And not a new game!

    Developers reducing rewards & make the game unnecessary grindy instead of fixing bugs. Would not recommend to start this game as a new player in its current state. Leaderbords full of cheaters. You cant search for speciffic onlinemodes (Race, Offroad, etc.). Many more issues.

    Except for better graphic nothing much changes since Forza Horizon 2. If you like casual racing car game with open world setting like Test Drive or Fuel, you will like this one. I hate how they separate the premium contents from the retail game on day 1 and forces us to pay $100 for all in-game contents. I've seen $70 game that has more content than this game $100 content.

    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 online is basically unusable. Months after release it still doesn't work right. I don't even play online that much.

    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

The series started getting a bit lost with FH4, and the latest instalment has continued the decline; there's no sense of progression or achievement at all, the single player campaign is short, easy, boring, and eye-wateringly embarrassingly written, and the game throws out free cars and cash with reckless abandon so that what should be a reason for celebration - winning enough races or getting enough cash together to finally grab that awesome car - becomes a monotonous sense of "oh, great, another car I'm never going to use to add to the 400 I already have".

    If online worked it would be OK, but it's broken as heck at the moment and despite several patches and hotfixes it's still very much a case of hoping it remains stable long enough for you to do whatever you need to do.

    Flat out not worth it this time around. Forza Horizon 5 is absolutely gorgeous, it boasts a nice map full of beautiful vistas with varying environments and biomes, it has the same style of arcade racing that you're used to, and the car list, while not expanded too much, is still a very long and generous list with every detail on the exterior and interior included.

    Problem is, this game    Flat out not worth it this time around. Forza Horizon 5 is absolutely gorgeous, it boasts a nice map full of beautiful vistas with varying environments and biomes, it has the same style of arcade racing that you're used to, and the car list, while not expanded too much, is still a very long and generous list with every detail on the exterior and interior included.

    Problem is, this game has nothing to differentiate itself from the last 3 entries. There is no new hook or feature to sell this one beyond the fact that it is in a different location, and while Mexico looks great in this game, I don't find it particularly interesting as the setting. Everyone wanted this to take place in Japan (Tokyo) and I think that would have been the right move, personally.

    The same issues I had with previous Horizons are still prevalent in this game, and they are simply that there is no sense of progression, everyone has an incredible car near the beginning of the campaign, I miss the days of starting with a junker and actually having to work your way up, there is none of that in this game, it is mostly instant gratification, throwing cars at the player left and right, some of which come through the terrible casino-style wheel spin mechanic.

    Clothing and emotes are just unnecessary, it feels like FH5 is trying to be like modern NFS or the old Test Drive games and it manages to be neither. This also includes masks, because there is nothing better than living your pandemic virtually as well, and muzzling your character in game so they don't spread the virtual virus. Smh.

    The inclusion of gender pronoun ideology and identity is just plain moronic, and is not something that should have been included in the game because introducing these awful concepts to children who want to play a racing game is borderline indoctrination. Keep your misguided politics to yourself. You do not need to pander to people looking to buy an arcade racer. Also, the amount of prosthetics feels like some sort of weird amputee fetishist's wet dream, and I am sure that community was clamouring for this as well.

    The characters in this game are all annoying, they are the same rehashed personalities of characters from previous games and adding voiced dialogue for our created character seems utterly pointless. Plus they are all incredibly ugly looking, and seem to be more "diverse" this time around. Are there no white males in Mexico? Weird.

    There are also several issues on PC that are making it much harder to enjoy the game at all. Constant frame drops related to GPU usage, a couple crashes, bugs causing the terrain to show pixelated squares and discolouration, co-op connection and syncing issues, draw distance issues, these are some of the reoccurring problems for me, (and others apparently) and while I know they will fix and patch them over time, this is the product that was released and there is no excuse for these quality issues from AAA developers.

    + Gorgeous graphics
    + Extensive car list
    + Obsession to detail with cars
    + Environments and Biomes are well done

    - Same old horizon
    - Poor soundtrack
    - No meaningful progression
    - Clothes and emotes in a car game
    - Frame drops
    - Crashes
    - Draw distance issues
    - Connection/syncing issues
    - Co-op doesn't work properly
    - Gender ideology/pandering in a racing game open to kids
    - Need to splash $150 for the full experience
    - Voiced characters are annoying and they look awful
    - Online load times are atrocious

    Overall, the core of Horizon is still here; big sprawling map, gorgeous graphics, lots of cars, content, and fun little factoids about Mexico, but the boring location, same old problems, plethora of computer stability issues, and pandering make this a poor entry in the series, and the "journalists" giving this game a 90 or 9 have never played a game in this series and/or are paid off as per usual. They missed the mark with this one. It definitely could have been a lot better. If you own Horizon 3 or 4, this is not worth the full price.

    Even if you do get to the front, you'll find that the AI can give itself speed boosts to artificially stay more competitive, or slam on the brakes to make sure you win. This means that you never know if you're winning or losing because of your driving, or if the AI just decided to do something weird. That is, in itself, an awful thing for a racing game. It undermines the core mechanic of the game.

    Custom race events no longer count towards progression (they did in FH4), so you can't even give yourself more laps to try and remedy this. All the races that count towards progression *must* be run as 3 lap sprints with random cars.

    Combine this with technical issues on PC, many in-game bugs, and you have a thoroughly unenjoyable experience where the core idea of the game - racing - is the weakest part.

    I guess it's great if you just want to oogle at cars, providing you can get it to work.

    Forza Horizon was never famous for it’s plot, but they decided to add one into this game and it’s cringe af.
    Graphics is worse than it was in fh4, especially draw distance, strange stripes in the middle of the screen with turned on SSAO, often textures look like they are directly from GTA VC even on extreme graphics preset.
    Luckily, driving experience itself is good (especially sounds), despite connection and graphical issues and other bugs.
    As a conclusion, I would firstly like to say, that I wasn’t expecting lots of new features and that I am absolutely satisfied with overall Horizon conception, so I am not considering such a little amount of changes since fh4 as a con, however, I wasn’t expecting this game to have so many bugs that it’s literally unplayable for the half of players. Playground - shame, you had 1 extra year, but the game feels like you had 1 year less.
    Still wondering how people give this 10/10, especially now. 4/10 max, if they fix all issues- definitely 7-8/10    … Expand

    Amazing game I start just driving around and then look at the time and its 2 hours later and i never even started a race. I did encounter 1 crash in my 30 hours . The map is amazing it seems to have more diverse locations than all the previous horizon games combined. The graphics at max settings were a absolute treat best I have ever seen for a open world game. most reviews are saying thatAmazing game I start just driving around and then look at the time and its 2 hours later and i never even started a race.

Let me get straight to the point: I played a bit of it on Game Pass and...Its the same game as Forza Horizon 4 but with a new map. I heard that the exact same technical issues on the Steam version of FH4 are still persisting on the Steam version of FH5. After playing a bit of it, its the same song and dance of cringe of past games, there is the exact same graphics (outside of the showroom anyway) and I worry the progression, or lack thereof, will be the equivalent in being in the audience during the recording of another season of the Oprah Winfrey Show, like past games have been. I am not able to get the game post-launch, and I may not anyway, giving the way Turn 10 and Playground have given the finger to the basic concept of sense of progression on Motorsport 7 and Horizon 4. When I play a racing game, I expect a "from rags to riches" type of sense of progression; to play hard to earn the best cars; not log into the game and checking mail for them.

    If you are progression minded like myself, just wait for Test Drive: Solar Crown and hope KT Racing doesnt go down that same path.    … Expand

    Una vergüenza cómo han lanzado este juego.
    Hay que hacer malavares para poder utilizar el volante (Fanatec DD1) en el juego, y cuando lo consigues, ni el Force Feedback ni los LEDS del volante funcionan.

    Its just the worst. how can i enjoy the game when even at 10 MPH EVERYTHING is popping or fading in . little bushes, big bushes , trees, rocks. everything . it just makes a great looking game look terrible and really kills the immersion.

    Also i didnt factor this into my review BUT this game also really needs VR Support.    … Expand

    Forza is one of my all-time favorite series. I've bought Xbox one just for this one game, having ps4 and Pc for other games. I have perfect 4k gameplay in FH4 but I can't even play FH5 without problems.
    "0" is for the technical level of the game for PC. It's the first thing the game should have. Fix it and I will see what we have later.

    By the way. Physics became worse for my taste.

    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.
