    No revolution for the license but this new iteration keeps its strong base this time around, waiting for a new breath.

    F1 22 is like a slice of birthday cake a couple days after the party. Someone (probably your dad) has pinched the glacé cherry from the cream splodge on top of your Black Forest Gateau, but your mum's put some regular cherries, banana and apple slices on the plate to it to make up for it. The fruit doesn't make sense, but the cake's still pretty good. Still, you're left dreaming of what next year's cake will be like. Maybe your cake engineer will be smart enough by then to actually know who you're racing against, and maybe Will Buxton will get some new jeans that don't look like they've carved out of stone. Maybe it'll be a carrot cake.

    F1 2022 unfortunately does not fully convince, limiting itself to few innovations and even fewer improvements. This saga looks tired, and this episode could not be appealing to fans waiting for a title worthy of the franchise.

    The new generation of F1 gets a video game run-out that's at times overly familiar, but one that's nevertheless fully-featured. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    The verdict, then, is that F1 22 should appeal to hardcore fans, who expect true-to-life fidelity in the vehicle performance, as well as more casually interested newcomers approaching this video game with a spectator’s curiosity. That blend of depth and accessibility is a hard needle for any sports developer to thread, and it rarely results in a transformative work. F1 22 isn’t one, but it didn’t need to be one — creating new cars, and the organic challenge of learning how to drive them on the limit, was transformation enough. [Polygon Recommended]

    With F1 22, Eletronic Arts gives more backbone to its sports games’ catalogue. The arrival of the new Formula 1 cars with their technical complexities and a different way of driving them is very well reproduced with the controller. Graphically speaking, the previous game was already gorgeous, and now it is simply exquisite. Nevertheless, why add the possibility of driving supercars, which will be completely set aside once you have played with them for an hour? F1 fans will focus on the My Team career mode, and particularly on the multiplayer. We were expecting a bit more from the pit stop –a mandatory part of all racing games. As regards the more than realistic new features, the AI is THE strongest point. F1 22 is without a doubt a roaring success!
