    Frontier have worked their magic to ensure it’s the best F1 Manager game out there and have another smash hit on their hands. With the Race Replay feature and the ability to change teams coming down the road, F1 Manager will keep fans pinned to their team principle chairs.

    F1 Manager 2023 is a stark improvement over the previous game, keeping it depth and complexity but managing to make everything easier to control and keeping us constantly challenged and involved. If you love Formula One and want to play the role of a Team Principal, this is a must buy.

    Frontier Developments does not risk much with F1 Manager 2023 using a formula that worked in the previous entry and adding a few extras to it.

    Improved and expanded compared to its predecessor. In some areas not yet the absolute top class that it could be.

    With several minor improvements F1 Manager 2023 might be more than just a small update. But overall these small changes don't make the sequel a much better game. In sum, it's enough to keep the pure solid level of its predecessor, nothing more, nothing less.

    F1 Manager returns with an improved entry and good new game modes. However, it still have problems that existed in the last game.

    F1 Manager 2022 was a fairly successful first attempt, and F1 Manager 2023 is following suit despite a tight development time. The software is a reference on the visual rendering of the races, far ahead of Football Manager and other Pro Cycling, with clever ergonomics and accomplished graphics in the preview of the Grands Prix. Effectively helped by the acquisition of all the licenses and a faithful modeling of the pilots, the title from Frontier does not yet reach the gargantuan content and the possibilities of its elders in the genre, but a few years will undoubtedly be enough for it to become the holy grail of sports management games.

    Not exactly a huge leap over last year's game, F1 Manager 2023 is nonetheless an impressively deep, all-encompassing motorsport management sim, with an enjoyable new Race Replay mode. Just don't expect any huge, sweeping changes.

    The key takeaway with F1 Manager 2023 is that your enjoyment of the game will differ immensely depending on your knowledge of F1. What is here, as long as you are a real F1 nerd, is capable of captivating for hours on end. However, with niggling issues within Race Moments, a lack of sense of progression, and the engineering side difficult to get to grips with, F1 Manager 2023 is the nichest of niche titles.

    F1 Manager 2023 doesn't represent the evolutionary step that could be expected after Frontier's good debut in the difficult world of Formula One management games. The refinements are marginal and could easily have been made with a patch job on the previous title. Furthermore, the additions are limited and do not significantly improve the gaming experience. While overall a better game than last year, it cannot be recommended to anyone who already owns F1 Manager 2022.

    With F1 Manager 23, we were hoping that Frontier Developments would make some big improvements and iron out the imperfections present in F1 Manager 22. As regards those improvements, it goes without saying that we are in for a treat, as there are plenty of new features that add more fun, depth and immersion to this management game, which remains fantastic in many respects. The graphics inevitably drag the title down, which smears all the new features. On the other hand, we are still having just as much fun playing the game. So, yes, the British studio is offering us a major update rather than a complete overhaul, but that should not hold back fans of the genre.
