    I was really looking forwards to this game pass especially being an exclusive "PLAY only on GAMEPASS ON DAY ONE!" so was really miffed when on "DAY 1" November 5th it turned out to be only available if you paid for it on "Early access", so its was a double disappointment when I finally got to play it on November 9th (Guess that'd be DAY 2?).

    Whilst this is no doubt a polished and entertaining title, it misses the target on so many levels compared to Forza Horizon 3 and 4. Playing FH5 seems far more of a chore in-game than the previous games because it does not reward anywhere near as well.

    The biggest gripe however on XBOX ONE S is the loading times, from the intro to the in-game stories, the ridiculous loading times totally remove you from what in FH4 was a seamless experience. In FH5 the slow loading of levels also has totally black screens where you can wait up to 1 minute and also in-game freezes at the start of a level where you can't do anything until the scenery finally loads in, then up pops trees, gantry's and bridges!

    On top of this you have overly vocal characters chiming in at inopportune moments whilst you're waiting to start a new race. It seems to me that Playground games invested a lot of time polishing the Series S and X versions of this game and didn't bother with the XBOX ONE version much at all. This really lets it down because it could have, and should have been a better game than FH4, but it clearly isn't.

    If you've got FH4 (especially with Lego and fortune island, stick with them, the map design is far superior, its a seamless experience and it actually rewards you for races too!    … Expand

    This game is literally the same as Forza Horizon 4. It is not worth the time nor effort to purchase this game over Forza Horizon 4. This game is absolutely the same gameplay wise and mechanically wise. The graphics aren't an upgrade as advertised I could literally not tell the difference between the games.

    Game has low framerate, constantly freezing. Render distance is terrible. I play this game on this console only that it is not working at all on PC

    In addition to a pretty picture, there is nothing in the game. Insanely boring racing with bad physics. It's a pity for the money spent, I do not recommend it.

    This is just a DLC with better graphics to nr.4! Wake the f up ppl. I am very disappointed, I was expecting to see an evolution,not a carbon copy of Forza 4! The environment is bland, the cars as re the same.The upgrades all work the same , 6 engines,1 outcome.

    O melhor jogo de corrida já criado. Acompanho os jogos de corrida desde o Top Gear 1 e Gran Turismo, etc. Desde essa época não me impressionava tanto quanto com esse game. SImplesmente incrível.
    Jogabilidade, gráficos, história... Vale a pena conferir. Nota 10.

    Its just Meh.
    It's the same game as the last one only I don't think it looks as nice.
    It would be nice to have this kinda game without the stupid prologue, crap music (turn that volume down) and the cringy radio chatter. Admittedly turned all that off but for some reason I still hear it all. Probably something to do with a thin storyline full of people saying things like WOAAHHH, THAT    Its just Meh.

Probably something to do with a thin storyline full of people saying things like WOAAHHH, THAT WAS SICK, GET TO THE FINISH LINE, HERE COMES A JUMP WOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHH. Its stupid and distracting.

    It has pretty mind numbing gameplay. Basically follow the blue line and slow down when it goes red, so not really much thought needed. This can probably be turned off.

    The things that go on around you kinda spoils races for me. Within about 20 minutes of starting this game you will have driven 5 cars, 4 of which are dropped from a plane, then raced said plane as well as two motorbikes that dropped from it, which then turn into skydivers... WTF is this? I'm happy for a fun arcade racer but this is all BS.

    I'm glad it was on gamepass so I didn't pay for it. I am going to crack on a little longer but there is no way I can finish this game.    … Expand

    Like all previous Horizons, this game is still at a very raw state, and in need of proper updating. I just hope they update it for the old Xboxes too, and not just for the new machines. We shall see.
    As a game, its the same racing and exploring as always. Which is not a bad thing. The map huge and pretty, a postcard version of the real deal (minus the cartel goons and bad roads).

But I feel that they missed lots of opportunities on the map. Just like Horizon 4 did, the game lacks many iconic locations and too much of the map is just featureless ground. And when it does feature local sights and attractions, they are realised in a rather unimaginative manner. And that's the biggest issue, to me. Its an exotic location, but the design lacks imagination. But I'm guessing they used all their imagination for the upcoming DLCs, so that they would sell better. Like with H4, where the rather bland map made everyone buy the much more creative and interesting DLCs.    … Expand

    Forza Horizon 5 introduces a larger, more varied map with even more weather effects and interesting challenges. The same enjoyable gameplay hasn't lost its momentum and there's enough to do that will keep you hooked for hours on end.

    This outstanding masterpiece from Playground Games keeps its charm after hours of playing. A well-thought-out title with endless driving fun. Whether you're a car fanatic or not, playing this with your friends will be a well-spent time and there aren't many skills required to understand this game. Fairly easy racer, yet very entertaining. The studio has undoubtedly succeeded this year again, with frequent post-launch updates and free content likely to come regularly, you will always find a reason to come back and play this game.

    Forza Horizon 5 truly has it all for a racing title, depth of gameplay, customization, good online presence, fun activities… and the list goes on. With the inclusion of Horizon 5 hitting GamePass day one, I consider this a must play for all gamers, racing fans or not.
