    Para um lançamento, está nota 10, sem bus para mim, rodou no meu velho guerreiro AMD 970 de 2010 junto com uma RX 580, a 40 FPS e em multimonitor 3 telas 5760x1080, incrível. Parabéns Microsoft.

    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
    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 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.

    Beautiful! Well optimized, and awesome gameplay and design. Only thing that needs work is the netcode / servers which disconnect quite a lot. Also, the fact you can't mute other players preventing this from being a 10 score, nothing worse than hearing a whiney kids drill music while shouting at his mom about his dinner.

    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.

    There is something sus going on when a game receives 9 /10 scores before launch then 5/10 from actual people. Its so disappointing, I was hoping for a bigger better experience. But this game is no different from the past 4 games.. if you dropped me in the middle of rhe map and asked me which game I was playing i wouldn't be able to tell of it was FH3, 4 or 5.

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.

    Ok, let's omit that we were sold a raw product, but this is a clean copy of fh4. What have we got new? The ability to change the exhaust and give people cars? Thanks. Even the cars are far

    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.

    Extremely easy, very similar quests, no ranked adventure. High price tag if buying premium. For sure not worth it. Basically it is just a "Forza Horizon 4 reforged" where graphic is a little better, but with less things to do and no challenge. You can most likely reverse trough drift zones and get 3 stars. VERY long loading times. If you like drift then this game will not be the one to go for.

    A must have, if you've never played Forza Horizon before and cars appeal to you. But if you aren't new to the series, the whole thing will be a massive deja vu that feels rather like a very big addon than an actual sequel.
    To me, who started with FH3, it is enjoyable-ish, but next time the trick will definitely not work out. Playground Games should really work on novelizing in the core

    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.

    It's very similar to Horizon 4. And that's the problem.
    The AI is still terrible. Races are easily the weakest part of this racing game. You only have three laps to fight your way to the front, which is impossible to do cleanly. The game is set up to promote awful driving.
    Even if you do get to the front, you'll find that the AI can give itself speed boosts to artificially stay more

    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.

    Game gets +2 for having good accessibility options, though.

    This game is getting review bombed by bitter people, just like about every other anticipated game that's been released for the past couple of years.

    In reality, I find it to be totally excellent. Visuals are fantastic, even on my 7 year old i7/GTX 970 PC (1080p medium settings allows for a mostly locked 60fps,) and would be even better if my hardware was more powerful. The car
    This game is getting review bombed by bitter people, just like about every other anticipated game that's been released for the past couple of years.

    In reality, I find it to be totally excellent. Visuals are fantastic, even on my 7 year old i7/GTX 970 PC (1080p medium settings allows for a mostly locked 60fps,) and would be even better if my hardware was more powerful.

    The car collection is probably the best lineup a racing game has ever had at launch, in terms of quality of car models/sounds/variety. It would be nice to see some franchise favourites return, but for now there's more than enough stuff to mess around with. Sound and visual mods are both significantly better than past entries.

    Story missions are slightly better than FH4, in my opinion, although dialogue is still a boilerplate campfest. The protagonist speaks this time around, which makes cutscenes slightly less awkward to me, but it's still pretty cringey. But hey, I'm not playing Forza for the character development.

    The map is huge, gorgeous, and varied. Lots of super enjoyable roads and scenery to explore. It definitely feels like it'll be a couple of months before I'm really familiar with every twist and turn.

    There have been a few minor glitches for me. Exhaust sounds don't always work right in the tuning menu, I still haven't gotten my loyalty car from FH4, even though I've played for several hours by now, and the game has crashed on me at least a couple of times. Nothing too major or game-breaking, though.

    Overall, this feels like a nice progression from the already excellent FH4. It doesn't feel like a reinvention, but many of the less polished aspects of the previous game are much improved, and it definitely leads to a game that feels bigger and better than it's predecessor.

    Great game when it runs but it crashes so fast and often, that I'm surprised it's not a Forza edition car in the game. For all the people who had concerns with New World and what it may do to your GPU, you don't need to worry having played this game. Forza H5 on PC will put your system through the wringer. Good luck to anyone who plays it

    I think the thing that annoys me the most is a little more unexpected, though; the EXP and fast travel boards littered across the map.
    On one hand, I get that it's a way to validate the open world of the game, since without them, you'd basically just be roaming around an empty world going from event to event, but on the other hand, a lot of them are a real pain in the ass getting to.
    This is especially true for the fast travel boards, which are often located on top of buildings, meaning you have to do long jumps from mountains and whatnot just to reach them. They tend to require immaculate precision, which means you'll have to try over and over and over again until you finally get lucky enough to hit the right spot. I would've been fine with this if it was just a matter of the EXP boards, since EXP can easily be gained by other means, but ALL of the fast travel boards I've run into so far have been placed in such a manner, effectively forcing me to do these godawful jumps unless I want to traverse the map by road every single time I need to go to a different area. It's extremely tedious and irritating, to the point where it alone makes me lower my score by several points.

    One thing to watch out for is that the game servers are overloaded with players. Also Win Defenders ransom ware otection as well as steam screen share can *sometimes crash it*. It happened to me once and then I could use Discord screen share normally, but some people are less lucky. Anyways it's not the endof the world, because those problems are fixable/will be fixed soon enough. Anyways of you are on the fence of getting or getting the game pass for it, do it. It's worth it.

    Pretty good racing game, solid mechanics. I have had minimal technical issues with this game and it ran very smoothly on my PC with a gtx 1070 and r5 3600. Pretty reasonable loading times as well.

    I do have a few issues with the game however. It is incredibly unclear how the tuning works and it is not very well explained, it's actually not remotely explained. When I put on the slick racing tires that give me the best stats it tells me on my cars stats preview that I have off-road tires on even though the tires image shows a completely smooth surface. So it doesn't seem to know which tires are which. My racing game history is really mostly arcade racing games so I find that turning in this game is incredibly infuriating. I know that is most likely a personal issue and I need to figure out the driving mechanics work in this game. It would be really helpful if I felt like the handling and braking stats helped even 1% but I really dont think they do. Every adjustment I make to my car feels the same, which is it takes 30 seconds to fully stop my car and even a slight turn causes me to either completely lose control of my vehicle for the next minute or I literally can't turn at all and I just go flying into a field way off the race course. I slow down before turning, I use wide angles, and yet I still go flying out into Narnia while every other car stays on the road. Maybe I am using the wrong type of car for the wrong terrain, but the game does a very poor job of explaining this as well. So, in summary, I think the car handling is very bad in this game. It feels too punishing.

    My other issue is that while the open world is pretty, it lacks any kind of personality or structure. It is just "go here and do this race, now go here and do this race, and now go here and do this race" and the open world functions as a means to get from each race instead of just a menu allowing you to select the races. I do not see a point in an open world racing game like this and not use that open world setting with an open world structure. For example: Need for Speed UG2. This game has an open world, and has different shops with interesting NPCs you can go to to buy upgrades for your vehicle. There is a story, and the world unlocks slowly as you progress through it. Making you feel rewarded for completing that part of the game and looking forward to moving on to the next area. With that new area comes a new set of NPCs and shops to unlock new upgrades. This progression loop is one example of how to use an Open World. But this game doesn't do any of that. It feels like empty space you need to traverse through to get to the next race. A simple menu to select the races you want to do would have sufficed and have been better game design.

    I recently played the 2012 version of NFS Most Wanted. That game is nearly a decade old and it has better graphics than this game. It's not about the Ray Traced cars, or the amount of foliage for me. 2012 Most Wanted simply had cleaner graphics and there was no random pop-in or missing textures. I was never once drawn to an object because of a glaring lack of detail in MW, and it was installed on a basic 7000 rpm hard drive. It simply just was and nothing about it was odd or distracting. Forza Horizon 5, installed on to a blistering fast M.2 SSD, has absurd pop-in of textures on almost every object all the time. And that makes it a much uglier game.

    I'm also pretty sure the online just doesn't work, period.

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.

    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.
