    Codemasters’ F1 series has taken hundreds of hours from me since 2017, and in return it’s given me a rich, new sports fandom even in my late 40s. And now, F1 2021 is teaching me to expect imperfection, to own my mistakes, and forgive myself. The result may be messy, but it’s mine.

    F1 2021 offers a fascinating immersion into the most popular category of car racing. The new scripted adventure “Braking Point” truly is successful and manages to grasp its audience’s attention for around ten hours with a thrilling storyline, captivating cinematics, and racing challenges. Adding the two-player career mode effectively pumps up the excitement and the interest in this classical race-game experience. Even though it’s a quality game with lots to offer, it must be noted that losing the retro events is puzzling and the rest of the game is a mere copy-paste of the previous title. Another drawback is that the supposed “optimisation” inherent to the Series X|S is rather disappointing, even if the technical and graphical basis of the last opuses was quite impressive already. Despite these issues, this 2021 vintage remains a fabulous, skillful, and fun experience to play: a real must-have for any F1 fan.

    Same stuff as FIFA series. Minor changes to sell the same game once again.
    Stay away from it

Paid full price to basically beta test a game riddled with bugs. AI behaviour is laughable. Bugs reported by many users since launch ignored/still not fixed (4 months later!), dev too concerned with releasing shiny new circuits than fixing the detrimental gameplay issues. I wish I'd never bought it. It's so bad my group and I have gone back to the 2020 version. Will not buy 2022.… Full Review »
