    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.

Open World makes Forza stand out from all the other racing games. Also, over 530 cars. Xbox is clearly on top again, because PS5 has absolutely no games until like February 2022. 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.

    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, 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.

All these morons giving the game a 0 or a 1 saying its exactly the same clearly didnt play horizon 4 that much because if you did you would instantly realize how much better this game is than horizon 4. First of all the engine and exhaust sounds for the cars have been improved so drastically. 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. There are also a lot of glitches and bugs in the game that need to be fixed. Expand

    Welp, there are 2 caveats:
    It kinda has some online problems, and with that i mean some players disappear for a certain time, but for me inviting them in a convoy works just fine, the glitching stops, and even if they're not in a convoy with you, it's not gamebreaking, because after a short time (max 1 min) they're back.
    And also if you have a lower end pc or setup, the city of Guanajuato lags a bit.

    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.
    I look forward to seeing how well Playground Games will do with the new Fable game.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lmao Playstation losers have nothing to play for next 3 months, so they are trying to review bomb this masterpiece. Well too bad, because it's not working. It had over 8 million players already on it's first week. Xbox wins. The end.

    Forza Horizon 5 is probably my favourite racing game ever I rarely ever delve into the genre but the game is just so much fun to look at and play it's truly a marvel in gaming. Throw in an awesome soundtrack, interesting characters and a decent story this has to be my game of the year for 2021 absolutely phenomenal

    Forza Horizon 4, but it's better. Optimization in this game is awesome, I'm getting nearly the same frame count as in FH4, but graphics are better.
    Better gameplay, more exciting cars and simple controls. That's what a good game is.

    I have a playtime of 24 hours as of this review, got it on XBOX game pass 3 days ago. I liked it so much I bought the VIP bundle. I'm not even a car guy.

    Fantastic game with the right amount of technical tuning. You can just slap on the best modifications to boost your stats but that doesn't mean you're going to keep it on the track, let alone win the race. You can do that and get away

    Fantastic game with the right amount of technical tuning. You can just slap on the best modifications to boost your stats but that doesn't mean you're going to keep it on the track, let alone win the race. You can do that and get away with it for the most part on some cars, but if you want to top leader boards, you need fine-tuning.

    Despite being review bombed because of launch technical issue for some people. I've had 1 issue, solved it by turning off my power management program, EVGA precision. No problems since.

    The game has a wide variety of cars that you can either buy or win in a slot machine-type game. You can get some pretty amazing cars from the start. If the idea of a game to you is to have the fastest car that can smoke anything on normal difficulty, this game isn't for you. If you like collecting and racing, trying to 100% a large map with tons of content. If you like trying out different cars to see which one suits you, instead of chasing stat scores, then this game is for you.

    Ótima otimização, trilha sonora boa, jogabilidade ótima, gráficos muito bonitos e com bastante detalhes, com certeza um dos melhores jogos de corrida atualmente, apenas poderiam melhorar um pouco a personalização dos carros, mas ótimo jogo, e também poderiam ter inovado um pouco mais em relação ao Forza horizon 4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brilliant game, the texture is awsome and the physics too. And when you modify your car it’s gonna change the car dynamics and the speed and all things. Not like in GTA where you can modify your car as well but there your car just gonna be faster and that’s all. So i can say the Forza Horizon series is the best car driving game i ever played! Expand

    I've been following the Horizon series back since the original game in 2012 and been watching the game improve on every release and always think how can they improve this anymore but they smash it everytime. I must say the Horizon 5 map is by the biggest and most detailed map in the whole series.
    The only things lacking me from giving this a even higher ratings are the car list seems so

    The only things lacking me from giving this a even higher ratings are the car list seems so poor since they only added around 20-30 new cars since Horizon 4. Servers have been a complete mess since the premium edition launch and we still haven't had any patch/fix almost two weeks late.

Stop buying a product while expecting it to be something it's not, then get disappointed when it isn't what you imagined. Ignore all these toxic reviews Horizon 5 is exactly what it sets out to be and is fantastic at it. A gigantic playbox full of cars where they are customizable to a further extent than previous installments. You can now install body-kits, adjust the any car to suit offroad, drift or racing and pretty much choose whatever style you want to play. Whether that be rally races, street races, close circuit races, just cruising around in the beautiful world, drifting online with others, do custom car meets etc. It literally gives you the keys to the cars and says go have fun. It's what I used to dream of when playing with Match Box cars on my carpet when I was little. So to anyone just wanting a geniunly good time doing whatever they want with cars this game is perfect.

    Love the game. Runs great on my PC at extreme settings. The detail in the cars and landscapes is amazing. The story is more geared toward pushing you into various tasks and races, which isn’t the most engaging, but I’m an RPG/MMO guy, so this is probably sufficient for a racer. The only thing lacking is the character models, but they are less of a fixture than the cars and terrain. Still aLove the game. Runs great on my PC at extreme settings.

    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.
