    FH5 is best driving game of all time, there's no competition even. Others aren't doing anything that's better than this.

    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.

    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.

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

    It really is great now that it works. Amazing feel, graphics.. the only thing I used to hate of the previous horizons was cross country - now it’s my favourite activity.

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

    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.
    I think that 4 Forza is better than this edition.

    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.

    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.

    It's a bit disappointing in the state that's been released in. It's a fun game and probably the best racing game out there.

The whole tier leveling up system is gone, but it is just replaced with accolades. Some of which are broken at the time of writing this. There is a lack of new modes. Eliminator and Super 7 were implemented in Horizon 4. The worst is the lack of new cars licensing aside. At this moment (November 18, 2021) there are exactly twenty new cars. Twenty in a game that launched with over 500 is extremely sad. There are outdated models of cars that could be easily replaced. Audi and Volkswagen in particular suffer from this. The 2020 Volkswagen Golf was made in Mexico and could have easily replaced the 2014 Golf, but they decided to keep the 2014 version instead. The Vocho is the wrong model. It is not the beloved model found in Mexico but rather the older European model. Speaking of which, the license plates are the license plates from the UK. Why do all of the cars in Mexico have UK plates. Clothing seems to still be abundant as well as other cosmetics like emotes. Luckily they aren't as intrusive as in Horizon 4. There is no way to tell how much cash you won after a race. You will have to get back to the main map and hope to get the glimpse of it fast before it disappears. At least the engine sounds are fixed and tire smoke is good enough.… Expand

    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.    … 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.

    Just a reskin of forza horizon 4 and runs worse
    Same events, same activities, connection problems and nothing to make you want to play after you played forza horizon 4
    You want to get lots of exp and credits fast for the cars you want? do the 30 minutes races created by the community with the max difficulty and no assistance

    The game in general is good but come on.. The game is far from a complete game, there is still a lot of bugs, loading screen time in online is unbelievable. Stuttering and the wall collision time seems unmatched to the actual speed when bumping in to the wall. This game has potential but they released an unfinished game.

And when you modify your car it’s gonna change the car dynamics and the speed and all things.

    The game itself should be amazing but the constant crashes make it infuriating to play at times. Incredibly disappointing that it seems cars are not even upgradable on PC, as it crashes every time I attempt to change tires.

    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.
