    Playground games really did a decent job on Forza Horizon 5.

    I had a fairly pleasant experience with this game. It satisfies the craving for a stellar arcade racing experience. I had little to no performance issues with my 30 or so hours with this game. The only major problem I seemed to steadily encounter was an issue staying connected to the servers. (I have not been on recently to

The only major problem I seemed to steadily encounter was an issue staying connected to the servers. (I have not been on recently to see if this has been addressed yet)

    Graphics are stellar, car selection is top notch, story is serviceable enough, and the controls are amazing.

    If you are looking for an arcade racer, this game definitely will satisfy.

    I have played Forza Horizon games from the start and LOVED the first and second ones. I didn't play 3 or 4 much but really wanted to get back into the series with 5. Its visually amazing but very casual and does not feel like its about the racing anymore and its just more about the community.
    Great fun but I definitely laugh at people who call this a "sim racer" somehow. Its an action

    Great fun but I definitely laugh at people who call this a "sim racer" somehow. Its an action adventure game and that is fine with me. Lots of dumb fun if you want to spend time doing random "dumb stuff".
    Thank you for reading. Enjoy Gaming.

    To my surprise, Forza never fails to be the best in its genre. This game is a masterpiece. Even more cars, even better graphics, even more open world, which is also very diverse.

    Der Goliath und alle anderen großen Rennen haben viel schönere Strecken als Forza 4.
    Auch die normalen Rennen finde ich sehr viel angenehmer zu fahren, die Straßen liegen echt gut, nur die unzerstörbaren Bäume sind in der Dichte nicht wirklich zu erkennen das macht das Ausweichen unmöglich.

    Ich hatte erst bedenken, ob sich Mexico für Forza eignet, bei den Trailern war ich skeptisch und dachte, dass es übermäßig viele Dirt und Offroad Rennen geben wird, aber es ist alles komplett ausgeglichen und die Straßen einfach so entlang zu fahren macht echt Laune, da sich das alles nochmal viel flüssiger anfühlt. Generell gibt es NULL Performance Probleme, ich spiele auf Ultra und es läuft einfach alles perfekt! Forza 4 ist bis Frühjahr / Anfang Mitte diesen Jahres sogar noch ab und zu mal abgestürzt. Es lädt auch alles sehr viel schneller, da bin ich echt begeistert.

    Zwei Sachen finde ich nicht sooo dolle umgesetzt, das ist einmal das bunte Automenü mit den viel zu großen "Kacheln", fand ich als kleine weiße Rechtecke sehr viel angenehmer anzuschauen und durchzuswipen und zum anderen fliegt man in den Kurven etwas mehr raus, ja das muss man bremsen - klar ! Aber es fühlt sich trotzdem unhandlicher an, gewöhnt man sich zwar dran, wenn man aber direkt aus F4 kommt merkt man es ziemlich deutlich, die scharfen Kurven sind meiner Meinung nach auf jeden Fall eine Katastrophe, ob ich mich an diese gewöhne glaube ich Stand heute leider nicht. Ach ja die Charaktere wirken auch wieder etwas künstlicher, die fand ich in Forza 4 echt bombe, ich weiß auch nicht was mit meinem Gesicht und meiner Friseur passiert ist, spielen wieder den gleichen Charakter aber deutlich unattraktiver.

    Unterm Strich ist Forza 5 auf jeden Fall ein sehr gutes Werk geworden, das spielen macht absolut Spaß, die Performance ist großartig und es kommt immer gute Stimmung auf. Ich habe noch sehr viel vom Hauptspiel zu entdecken und bin schon echt gespannt wie großartig die beiden DLC´s werden, die haben in Forza 4 auf jeden Fall nochmal ordentlich an Qualität dazugewonnen, sowohl von der Grafik, den Effekten, als auch von den Strecken, ob das hier auch möglich ist, ich freue mich auf jeden Fall drauf!

    Con la reciente salida de Gran turismo 7 me instale el Forza Horizon 5 en PC y la virgen cómo se ve, como se siente todo, ese doblaje mexicano está muy bien implementado, aunque por alguna razón me salí a lo primero en inglés estando ambientado en México y siendo español ¿por qué en inglés? Sinceramente no entiendo el 6,8 que tiene este juego, si es un JUEGAZO!

    After few months and updates from its release, Forza Horizon 5 feels optimized and well-finished. The content of this game makes it the best of the Saga without hesitation.
    As always in Forza, I would like more cars and more car customization just like the one in NFS, even though the races, map, story and ambientation is way more better in FH.
    It's just the best option right now if you

    By far the best casual car game. Amazing graphics, especially in 4k on extreme settings. Great detailed map with many nice roads and a good amount of different vehicles. The exhaust sounds could still be improved a little, but everything else is extremely well done.

    For me, the BEST OpenWorld Racer !! FH4 is almost similar good...but just almost. If you love to drive and hang around with your buddies in a WONDERFUL crafted world -> you probably won't regret it.

    Bringing in some actual review instead of review bombing: I didn't thought that FH4 had so much space for improvement, but looks like it did! FH5 brings in a big, diverse map, improved gameplay on cars, improved graphics, new ways to unlock stuff (aka - more stuff to do) and some new things to do. I mean, for your first playthrough, it's a racing game I'd recommend 100%.

    Talking about the "endgame", or, "what can I do after I finish the story thingy"... well... there's nothing much aside from repeating races or racing online, where you find out cars are usually broken and way too fast for their class. Or that the developer usually takes a long time to fix this stuff.

    But my review is still for the "go and finish", endgame is just a "warning" for those who stay

    A beautiful game, but the repetitive connection problem ruins the user experience. To have to wait half an hour a specific Horizon Tour Event, then to be disconnected during the race, endelessly during several hours, 3 months after the release ?

    So it's a great game, but forget the guaranteed extra online experience...

    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.
