Jun 27, 2022There’s definitely a lot to love about F1 2022, whether it’s the revamped physics engine and clever AI, or the incredible levels of detail on tracks and in the cockpit. The inclusion of F1 Life as a main social hub is an interesting move and adds a new arcade-type dynamic to what is traditionally more of a sim title, while the addition of supercars adds a fun element alongside staples such as race weekends and a practically unchanged career mode. It’s really the little things that make F1 2022 such a great game with little flecks of extra realism added to a tried-and-tested formula and while it isn’t perfect, it’s definitely a shining entry.

Jun 27, 2022F1 22 has superb gameplay that perfectly conveys the regulation changes of the 2022 Formula One season. But on the other hand, it loses Braking Point mode and is replaced by F1 Life and Supercars, which end up being excuses for microtransactions and irrelevant gameplay additions.
-
Jul 5, 2022Codemasters once again offers the best F1 simulator to date. While there are concerns about what's happening in F1 Life and the inevitable hand of EA with its addiction to microtransactions, this year's installment stands by its own quality.
-
Jul 3, 2022F1 22 doesn't revolutionize the series, but it proves once again to be a worthy driving sim, capable of entertaining both the F1 enthusiasts and the more casual players. It manages to faithfully recreate the F1 world both in and out the circuits, with a wide offering of modes and options.
-
Jun 28, 2022Despite its flaws and F1 Life feeling like a bit of an excuse for extra microtransactions, F1 2022 is another great entry into the series and will keep new and returning players busy until next year’s game!
-
Jun 27, 2022While the new F1 Life hub and the addition of supercars are no substitute for last year's story mode or 2020's classic cars, F1 22 is nonetheless another superlative Formula One game, and a damn fine racing experience in its own right.
-
Jun 27, 2022F1 2022 is as authentic as you can get, with superb handling and stunning visuals, but a follow up to Braking Point would have been nice.
-
Jun 27, 2022Codemasters figured out long ago what makes a compelling Formula 1 experience to racing fans, and this year's entry is no exception.
-
Jun 28, 2022F1 22 is very similar to the previous game, despite the change of rules in Formula 1 for this season. However, it is very competitive on track and its races faithfully reply the battles that Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes are having in the real world.
-
Jul 20, 2022If every single weekend you are waiting for the Grand Prix or you might be curious about the motor sport both in the real world and the virtual one, you should give it a try. This is the most polished and fresh experience of the franchise in recent years. It is also a graphic and technical treat regardless of your level of experience or how much you love a video game.
-
Jul 1, 2022F1 22 maintains this series’ run as the most fully-featured and accessible mainstream motorsport sim on the market, but the flashy new F1 Life mode feels largely pointless.
-
Jun 29, 2022F1 22 is another super solid entry in Codemasters' superlative run of racers. There may not be any really pressing reason to pick this one up if you own last year's game, but besides a lack of new ways to play and an F1 Life mode that's all a bit pointless in the end, this is still the pinnacle of F1 video game action that fans of the sport will no doubt be enjoying until F1 23 drops.
-
Jun 28, 2022A great racing game that any F1 fan will love, although it fails to really set itself apart from its predecessors.
-
Jun 27, 2022F1 22 is once again capable of providing a seriously hot F1 racing experience, but the bits away from that are less exciting.
-
Jun 27, 2022With a second rolling start on PS5 and Xbox Series X, F1 22 has put some oil in its engine. A little more animation during the celebrations and on the track with the arrival of the safety car in the race, the addition of events with Supercars to drive and drops in FPS during less significant cutscenes than in 2021, the standing of the latest generation of consoles is finally respected. Codemasters has succeeded in making this new title a reference for multiplayer games with the adjustment to the new rules, the addition of sprint races and a new pit entry system. We will just grumble about the too superficial F1 Life space and the lack of inspiration on the content, but F1 22 is well worth it for new motorsport fans and multiplayer enthusiasts.
-
Jun 27, 2022F1 22 is another solid instalment in Codemasters’ Formula 1 simulation series, even if the tweaks to the on-track gameplay aren’t all that noticeable. It feels very much an annual EA sports title.
-
Jun 27, 2022F1 22 is the best game in the series, but not by a distance. The improved handling and supercar challenges are cancelled out by the lack of a story mode and the superfluous new F1 Life mode, making for a game that gives as much as it takes away.
-
Jul 8, 2022F1 is back in style thanks to Codemasters and EA. Its renewed gameplay is fresh air for the franchise. A great game that will captivate motor fans.
-
Jul 18, 2022F1 22 delivers fantastic driving experience and dynamics with many options that do make the game as welcoming or challenging as the player wants it to be, for the sport fans its a dream come to life, but unfortunately the game didn't evolve much.

Jun 28, 2022The 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]

Jul 1, 2022The 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]

Jun 28, 2022With 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!
