    Playground Games non smette di stupire. Gioco graficamente impressionante, forse il titolo più bello visivamente dell'anno! Riprende la formula vincente di Forza Horizon 4 con una piacevole rinfrescata a livello tecnico. Gioco molto divertente, adatto a tutti anche a chi solitamente non piacciono i giochi di corsa.

    Hands down the best racing game I've played. Everything from car handling to tyre smoke has been improved upon as well as the game looking incredibly good. This is definitely a must play and deserves every bit of praise it's getting

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who has played the game since early access released and reached level 150+ i would say i have tried almost every aspect of the game so far, i believe this is the best game Playground games has ever made. the Graphics are superb on the Xbox Series X and PC with zero complaints, The Gameplay is a mix Between all the other Forza Horizon games with improvements which make the game the perfect open world racing game.

    The map is one of my favourite things about this game, the scale and diversity with locations is fantastic and there is so many different races and events to try out at different locations these include offroading in the dunes or jungle to driving up the Volcano which has insane views at the summit, also the campaign is a lot more detailed compared to previous Horizon games it still isn't perfect however for a racing game it is fine.

    Also improved with this game is the sound of the cars, they sound much more realistic compared to Forza Horizon 3/4, The different engine parts can make the sound of the cars change quite drastically which is a very good thing.

    For my final verdict i give Forza Horizon 5 a 10/10 and highly recommend it to anyone, this is simply the best open world car racing game.

    Best racing game probably ever made. Such an improvement over 4. Most photo realistic graphic I’ve ever seen. Races are engaging and fun. The characters and story, though short, are really fun. The game makes you feel rewarded whatever you do. Online creativity and games are unmatched in a car game. GOTY

    If a racing game can engage me, someone who doesn't give two-****s about cars and just plays rpgs, adventure games and strategy games, then you know the game is good. FH5 is like Mario Odyssey - it's a driving game that appeals to everyone, even non-driver fans just as Mario appeals to everyone, even if they don't typically play platformers. It's a very high quality and well-designed game.

    Worth the wait for another Forza Horizon game. This does everything better than the previous game. There were a few flaws in Forza Horizon 4 and it was a bit bland in my opinion but this just totally tops it for me and It’s probably the best racing game I’ve had fun with in a while.

    I'm not a racer. For me i'm playing in an amazing open world with over 500 mounts. Each of them can be transmogged. They have stats and i can, if i want, fine tune them to beat the next raidboss. I've found a main quest and lot of side quests. i can explore for hours or just farming xp and gold. i can do this alone, with my buddies, or with everybody online.

    But where is so much light,

    It's the best optimized game I ever saw. Even Performance mode is looking better then everything I saw before. The music and radios are dope, the freedom from FH4 is even better in FH5. Doesn't look like it gets boring even after months of playing. Just a GOTY for me :D

    I wasn't overly thrilled when they announced that they were doing back to back Horizon games as I thought it was going to be a rushed filler to let them concentrate on FM8. I couldn't have been more wrong. Playground hit a walk off grand slam with FH5. It's gorgeous and absolutely AMAZING!

    After a long time, I can tell that there is some problems with this game. After first "wow" experience you can notice that game really have some minuses.
    First of all - graphics and optimization. I play on the PC and on the High preset, with SSD M.2 (I bought it not only for Forza, but this game was a main reason to bought it) you can see that low-pol. 2D trees loading in about 20-30 m. forward you. Also, when you speeding up to around ~300 km/h, textures starts to blink and you get a full stop for a 2-5 seconds. Comparing that game with previous title, FH4 do not have that problems at all. Maybe because of light or something else, but picture in Forza Horizon 4 looks better and of course have better performance.
    Secondary - why are you almost killed photo mode? Why when I want to get a nice shot, weather and time are changing? I can explain - in all previous titles when you want to shot something time in that mode time just pause, but it continue when you exit it. What happened in the game that you decided to enter this feature in the photo mode once in the update?
    Game is not like FH3, which had incredible feel of Australia and not like FH4, which had very good performance. This is not an awful game, but I feel that Playground games can make it better. (April 5, 2022)

This is the Skyrim of racers. Expand

    This game is great... game play, cars, weather and ... is awesome. Undoubtedly, it is best racing game... but I see some idiots Sony fanboys come and record bad scores for this game.This is their intention, it is quite clear that they are jealous of this game. I say again, this game is best racing game in this world.

    The best arcade races nowadays. But it is becoming clear that it's getting harder and harder to move the successful formula forward.

    It’s safe to say that Playground Games have delivered something special with Forza Horizon 5 – and as far as I’m concerned, this is currently the best driving game out there.

    Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best games of the year and starts the discussion on whether a racing title like this one could be GOTY. It stands out from the rest of similar games, both in terms of technical and gameplay aspects.
