    Very, very good. It breathes new life into a game that otherwise feels like it's getting stale. The tracks are inventive and fun, the three biomes provide plenty of diversity, and the Event Lab track-building is a dream-come-true for Hot Wheels fans. It's far, far better than the most recent Hot Wheels game, or any other up to this point.

    One of the best dlc’s for a racing game I have ever played! Much better than the HW dlc for FH3, and that was so much fun. It’s almost like an entirely new game in itself! Definitely give it a download you will fall in love with the game all over again!

    Easily one of the best DLCs in Forza Horizon history. I have no clue how someone can think this is a bad DLC. I don't know if it's an attempt by Sony Playstation fans or what? The game is IS free on Gamepass despite what people are saying. You DON'T have to pay really money for the cars, again despite what some people are saying. And you most definitely get a sense of speed. I don't knowEasily one of the best DLCs in Forza Horizon history. I have no clue how someone can think this is a bad DLC.

I don't know if they are getting there information from a source instead of playing the game or what? I know anyone that finishes a review by saying "I should" or "I regret not" etc "Buying/Bought a playstation 5 instead" is extremely sus. Who says that???? I don't get console wars. It's the cringe of gaming. And I can't wait until it's not a thing anymore. I think the future of gaming is great. And the team that worked on this DLC clearly cares about gaming. It's a lot of fun, and much bigger than I expected. It has multiple biomes and takes me back to my childhood. I'm excited for more content on this game already. I can't get enough of it.… Expand

    Excellent. Feels like being in a rollercoaster.
    I honestly wished it would be a different DLC, especially since we had it before. But still it turned out great. It's not perfect but great. I realized I still was a bit oversaturated from playing it so much. More of my own issue :-)
    So anyway, I have to give a 10 to equal for the haters a bit.

    REALLY good and fun gameplay, the map is huge and so much to do on. def worth the money. you will look at around 15 hours of new content which is worth the 20 dollars it costs.

    Playground delivers again! This is by far one of the best DLC’s ever made. With so much content already jam packed into the base game there wasn’t really a need to go all out but they did! Progression system isn’t perfect but it works. Start B class work your way to X. Don’t miss out !!

    Loved the base game and couldn't wait for the DLC to release. And I'm not disappointed. The new gameplay features like the loopings, the magnetic tracks, the boosts, etc, are very cool additions and I think it's worth the price. And of course you get new hot wheels cars that are super great.

    Great time. Beautiful dlc that is insanely fun. Definitely worth your money. FH5 is still the best racing game ever made and this solidifies it.

    If you look at the profiles of the people who dropped review scores of 0 they have rated PlayStation exclusives as 10s. Don’t believe the review bombs.

    I really don't understand why people give it a 0 this game is smooth as hell with the hot weels feel and is beautiful fun and insane even though FH3 had it its passes its expectations even if cars are locked people complain to grind and buy the game is on game pass free so spending and grinding a bit is rhe way to go people thinking everything must be free

    Forza Horizon is such a strong brand name and has always offered so much quality and innovation in a very limited genre that people just can’t expect anything less, and even though Hot Wheels is a solid DLC that can easily blow many full fledged arcade racing games out of the water, the fact that it’s not “innovative” enough compared to previous entries in the series.

    Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is what we expected of racing these type of cars: adrenaline given by the mechanics of the game and an exorbitant show. All this makes up a package that can be taken very seriously by scale model fans and enjoyed in the most arcade-like way possible by newcomers of the hobby.

    Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is a thrilling ride that pushes the boundaries of physics and even allows you to build and share your own tracks. It's a great example of an expansion that mixes up the gameplay of the base game enough to make it worth owning as well.
