    I am a fan of F1 maybe this will not be an objective assessment but the game is good, the steering wheel mode is well done. The graphics are stunning not to mention the music effects. I recommend it for F1 fans.

    Strong entry into the F1 series. As a frequent but casual player, I have felt the difference between 2020 and 2021. The cars feel more responsive, but also more affected by the curbs and change in altitude on tracks which features a change in gradient.

    Multiplayer is as toxic as ever unfortunately, but having been placed into B safety rating this seems to have improved. I am however    Strong entry into the F1 series.

    I am however getting a regular crash at the end of every ranked race and I still need to work out if this is affecting my ratings. Essentially the race finishes and the podium celebrations commence and then on the next screen I have what looks like the inbox with two items stating 'to do' - cannot navigate off the screen and if I select one of these items I get a playstation error code.

    These things aside, really enjoying the game and feeling more competitive than ever!    … Expand

    Realy good game!!! Better than F1 2020. The new story mode “Breaking-Point“ is fun to play.

    Have to give Codemasters a lot of credit. They have did a good job with F1 2021. The gameplay is solid and polished and the new career mode is good. Seems to be their best game yet. It's a recommendation to everyone as well as racing fans.

    F1 2021 en mi opinión si es buen juego aunque no muchos es ten de acuerdo conmigo, lo que me gusta es el trabajo que hicieron con el Braking Point, nunca hubo un juego de F1 con un modo historia y esta es la primera vez y considero correcto lo que dura a pesar de ser algo corto, se podrá hacer algo mejor en el futuro, no es para que este en los Game Awards pero si es entretenido y es loF1 2021 en mi opinión si es buen juego aunque no muchos es ten de acuerdo conmigo, lo que me gusta es el trabajo que hicieron con el Braking Point, nunca hubo un juego de F1 con un modo historia y esta es la primera vez y considero correcto lo que dura a pesar de ser algo corto, se podrá hacer algo mejor en el futuro, no es para que este en los Game Awards pero si es entretenido y es lo que importa, el modo mi equipo tiene pequeñas mejoras pero hubiera estado mejor más personalización del auto y de otras cosas, el modo online deben si o si mejorar, no hay excusas de Codemasters con el tema del modo online, debe ser mejorado, pero lo bueno es que puedes guardar tu carrera online por completo y es algo bueno, espero que lleguen pronto los circuitos de Emilia Romaña, Portugal y Arabia Saudí y que añadan los cambios de curvas de los otros circuitos como Abu Dhabi y otros por lo que esta pasando en la temporada Real de F1, algunos bug hay que no son graves pero si deben arreglar, para mi vale la pena si lo compran en físico y barato o una rebaja de las tiendas de PlayStation y Xbox, y que mejor lo compren cuando estén esos nuevos circuitos, es buen juego actualmente pero será mejor cuanto tenga lo que necesitamos.… Expand

    Quality is high as ever. Very cool ideas with the story mode this time. Good force feedback. Lots of fun, great tracks. I would love to have the helmet sound available for every cam though.

    That's a great organized game with fine force feedback and interesting game modes. Story mode is awesome. there are just a few minor things I don`t like

    As an F1 player since F12020 PS4, i can say i really enjoy this entry for the PS5. The graphics are crisp, the framerate is steady and the handling is great (especially now that you have the option to play casual, standard or professional). The dynamic weather is nice. Would recommend. 8/10

    Last year it was an 8, this year one up! The handling is amazing! The sound is more than awesome (there are no sound bugs) and finally, finalllllllyyyy we have technical issues as well on the car and can end up DNF with a mechanical fault! Further the AI does mistakes now as well and even makes overtakes :D ! the racing feels great, I like this game! best in the series I would say from nowLast year it was an 8, this year one up!

What to achieve a 10 ? a bit more presentation, a bit more Driver "life" (not the story mode) like NBA 2k games! some minor bugs like unlapping the safety car...but hey, this years game is really good!… Expand

    Bellissimo gioco. Previo alcuni bug dovuti al fatto che la EA è entrata in gioco "molto tardi", il gioco è fatto benissimo. Ho completato anche la storia "Breaking Point", è fantastica! Peccato per la durata, avrei preferito fosse più lunga, ma ci sta! Aspetto solo le nuove patch con le quali verranno rilasciati i nuovi tracciati.

    The developers didn't manage to revolutionize the series in F1 2021. But it is another step in the right direction. The changes on the track can be seen in just a few steps.

    Muy buen juego de formula 1 con bastante contenido para jugar durante horas, perfecto para los amantes de la formula 1, aunque tal vez no guste tanto para los que nunca han visto una carrera de formula 1 ya que sus mecánicas son muy distintas a un tradicional juego de carreras, por lo que considero que es sólo un juego para fans.

    F1 2021 arrives with a tank full of emotions and dramatic moments. The story campaign grabs the heart, the rest of the game keeps the high standard we already know.

    F1 2021 surpasses its predecessor again and, along with the career co-op mode, makes a fantastic racing game likewise for beginners and experts.

    F1 2021 is one of the best F1 games to date, with a fun little story mode in the form of Braking Point, also presenting a great co-op driving career mode, and marking the return of the extremely detailed and fun My Team mode. The only drawbacks it has are its severely smaller amount of content than the 2020 edition, and occasional server problems.
