    F1 22 takes another step forward and surpasses everything we saw in the previous game, better graphics level and new modes to improve the experience. Codemasters and EA Sports have put their best into this game. I can say that F1 22 is one of the most outstanding racing games that have been released this year.

    For Formula One fans, it’s easier than ever to recommend F1 22. Significant changes have been made here to not only keep the game up to date, but also more immersive, more expansive and more fun. The only real disappointment is F1 Life, which feels a like a good idea in principle but very poorly executed. And of course, the lack of a story mode will be a let-down to some, too. Ultimately, F1 22 takes a couple of steps forward and couple back, but where it matters – in its gameplay and stellar career mode – it’s still very much at the front of the pack.

    Despite poorly thought-out innovations, Codemaster's F1 series continues to offer a great overall racing game package.

    F1 2022 is a simulator with a straight objective. Clearly, Codemasters decided to bet on what it does best and abandon some interesting features for the casual player, in exchange for possibilities and seriousness whose appeal to enthusiasts makes the game a must-have Formula 1 fans.

    With prettier graphics and notably improved physics, F1 22 impresses right out of the gate. Last year's enjoyable story mode is unfortunately gone, and instead we get to play F1 star with luxury watches and clumsy supercars. What a downgrade. Fortunately, the presentation, the career mode and not least the driving experience are better than ever.

    The F1 series is starting to look more and more like FIFA. Bright colours, hip music and the first contours of what could become F1UT. This year I'm still meeting Codemasters (Codematsers!), but they have to counteract that EA nonsense. Just ask Lewis Hamilton how quickly things can go differently, in F1...

    F1 22 is technically stunning, and that, combined with the chance to drive this year’s cars on this year’s tracks, should make it irresistible to Formula One fans. As long as they manage to ignore the egregious F1 Life.

    Sport cars are bad added feature; if we want to ride a super car, we rather buy other race games.

    This game is pure rubbish.

    After patch 1.07, In my team mode, after 5 races, I have encountered ZERO Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car even there were incidents on the track (with settings of INCREASED safety car frequency).

    Also the AI have been much more overpowered in overall speed and seems like they did not suffer any pace loss from tire degradation at all.

    And sometimes in the race, when I press the radio button, it didn't have any response and need to restart the game to resolve it.

    F1 22 is a piece of horrible and unbalanced junk, surely the worst game I have ever brought in my life.

    EA have picked up this game and turned it into a simple yearly money grabber.

It’s a downgrade in my opinion. Too cartoonish… also there is no need for F1 life and super cars (worst than GT 5 graphics). Also micro transactions… micro transactions… micro transactions… EA logic: can’t open player packs like fifa? Don’t worry about it! Let’s charge them to buy couch and jeans. Oh and don’t get me started on “ Connecting to servers message” each time you do a single thing on the main menu… I wish I can get a refund… Expand
