    É um jogo excepcional na sua proposta, a sensação de estar em uma aventura em um jogo de corrida é ótimo. Pra mim o ponto alto do jogo são as história contadas nas expedições elas são sempre bem divertidas todos os personagens são muito carismáticos e vc sempre vai querer saber "qual é a próxima expedição".
    Ele repete a formula do horizon 5 mas não fica atrás, o mapa do México é muito

    Ele repete a formula do horizon 5 mas não fica atrás, o mapa do México é muito bonito, colorido e trás uma mudança de biomas vasta.
    Os carros nunca foram um ponto fraco ,pois, um jogo que se propõe em ser um game de corrida não pode errar nisso e forza faz a excelência. Depois de tudo isso nos temos as temporadas que dão cara nova ao jogo ao mudar de estações no ano. Eu particularmente não gosto do formato escolhido de toda semana trocar as estações. Preferiria que o jogador tivesse a opção, depois de tantos pontos vc pode escolher ir para a próxima ou não, e se quiseres entrar no on-line ai sim tivesse as temporadas. Otimo jogo e todo fã de jogo de corrida deveria jogar.

Although it takes the best of Forza 4 and iterates, I personally would have enjoyed an option to get out of the car and explore some of the landscape and local culture on foot. 2. I wish it had focused more on the transition to electric cars. Given the climate crisis, I feel a bit uncomfortable at this celebration of petrol - and think it could have done more to reflect our fast-changing world. Other than than, highly recommended. Expand

    A little bit cheesy and casino-like racing game with a perfect open-world Mexico. Expeditions and exploration are fun. The weather effect are cool, sunsets are mesmerizing, collecting cars is fun. The first racing game since NFS Underground that kept my attention long enough to finish it (can we count reaching Hall of Fame as a game completion? :)

For something that is ‘just a racing game’, this game is one of the funnest and best games ive ever played. Always cars to collect and weekly and monthly things to do. Even if u arent a racing fan this game is a must play!

    I still can't believe this masterpiece was essentially free via Game Pass on day 1. It's the best in the series, and that's really saying something, considering how awesome all the Horizon games are. I could take or leave the constantly-updated Season content, but hey... at least there will always be something fun to do because of that.

    The good:
    A new installment of Forza "Horizon" flavor with much, too much Mexican flavor (and too many cheap Hollywood movie cliches about Mexico). Good recreation of archaeological zones, this is due to the intervention and support of INHA (National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico). The recreation of Guanajuato is beautiful, including its underground streets and cobbled
    The good:
    A new installment of Forza "Horizon" flavor with much, too much Mexican flavor (and too many cheap Hollywood movie cliches about Mexico). Good recreation of archaeological zones, this is due to the intervention and support of INHA (National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico). The recreation of Guanajuato is beautiful, including its underground streets and cobbled tunnels (which are protagonists in real-life World Rally Championships). The Mashup of Mexico is well achieved that we have the Popocatepetl volcano (the great caldera) and to the side the lava and volcanic stone areas of the Michoacán paricutin (with everything and the church covered by lava) and to the west the white sand dunes of Sonora, to finish off with the arch of Los Cabos in Baja California. It's a great reference to promote adventure tourism in Mexico because everything that appears in the game is taken from real life (they just aren't that close). The recreation of the cars is still excellent, all with different views and all ready to be tuned, modified, painted and to put many vinyls and prints on. The discount signs this time are located in the craziest places. The mechanics of giving away cars are great, but poorly executed by being able to clutch with certain cars that made millionaires of those who exploited these flaws.

    The bad:
    Festival of clichés of Mexico, the Mexican and the Mexicanness. Early access made many cheaters come to the game and roam free so that before the official release there were already level 999 players with 00:00:01 lap records and billions of credits. Don Thompson does not return for Radio Eterna / Timeless FM, who had already accompanied us in games 3 and 4 (and to whom we had already become accustomed to his pedantry). There are certain stones and ledges in the desert that look like and when you pass them, your car gets stuck without being able to move forward or backward and it is very annoying because at first you can get around the stone very easily and you do not expect that they will be a death trap. The progression is horrible instead of unlocking areas and planes as you discover the map, you have to necessarily do boring missions and if you are new to the franchise it can work to be taken by the hand to open things, but veterans who do the danger signs or drift zones have to wait forever in tedious activities to be able to unlock those really fun activities. Characters like Driftclub or LaRacer do not return and instead we have a festival of clichéd characters. The hateful jeep glitch, how did they miss that? The hateful glitch of the Marathon and the league for the game to play itself

    Lo Meh!:
    The lack of industrial urban environments and large modernized urban cities such as CDMX, Monterrey, Guadalajara or Puebla make us think that all Mexicans live in colorful houses with water storage tanks on their roofs and that is not the case.

    The best Forza Horizon! It looks and plays amazing on the XBSX and with a big open world. Playground Games are wizards with their tech and this one makes me excited for future Horizon games and the upcoming Fable!

    It's more like a 9 - 9.5 for me, but I'll round up.

    It's an amazing game overall so far. It's simply freedom and fun with cool cars. I love it, but not a huge fan of the Mexico setting. Although it's done well and looks great, especially with the huge draw distance, I liked the FH4 setting with the seasons a lot more. Otherwise, it's got a few imperfections, and awkward features,

    Highly recommend.

    Brutal!! Me encanta !! Por decir algo malo ...quizas al no ser exclusivo de nueva generación podría ser aún algo mejor técnicamente .

    Melhor Forza pra mim até agora, um dos melhores gráficos da geração até o momento, corridas que dão gosto de jogar, me deu muita vontade de conhecer o México, aproveitei o que achei que deveria, fiz o máximo de conquistas que me foi possível.

    This was the best experience I've had in a Forza Horizon Franchise game since Forza Horizon 2012

    The post-launch content, the cars, the graphics, the community with its paintings and tunings

    I love this game

    This game is just awsome on so many levels. Playground Games is just finding so many ways to bring attention to detail, almost picture perfect graphics, and crazy feeling of realizam to such a huge emersive world. Super fun game with something different putting a smile on your face around every corner. Can't recommend enough!

    This games is fun and once you've gone through everything, still keeps you engaged enough to keep you trying to get cars for your garage. For those saying it looks like FH4 they must need to get their eyes checked.

    Es el juego de coches definitivo, es un mundo abierto muy bello y con una cantidad de contenido de gran calidad, esta super bien optimizado y es genial la representación de México que se sale del típico cliché de filtros sepia que se suele ver en el cine.

    I played every Forza Horizon,but this game fails to add something new to the recipe.I is constantly updated,but you can feel on the updates that even the developer feel it asa chore and the creativity pool dryed up at pg.The game looks nice,but it is the same as the previous one with a different location.As a Forza Horizon fan I would expected more from a game like this.

    Un juegazo que todo gamer debería jugar incluídos los Ponys, que muchos siguen con la cola ardida. Me encanta que todo el mundo pueda ver las maravillas de paisajes que tenemos en México y se animen a visitarnos.

    Simply amazing! Fun and exhilarating to play and beautiful to look at. Forza Horizon 5 manages to improve many aspects of the previous games and adds many new ones of it own.
    I almost gave it a 9/10 because of the VIP pass double credits booster but I didn't doc a point of of the previous Horizon games for that inclusion so I wont here. Just thought I'd mention it

    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.
