    Driving feels better than ever. Game plays brilliantly and looks incredible. The only real issue, although small, I have is with the music choices. I’m sure a lot of the soundtrack is brought over from 4. Or it’s just the state of the music industry now that all the new songs sound exactly the same as they did a few years ago.

    Forza has always been a technological powerhouse when it comes to unleashing the full power of the respective system it's bound to. But this game takes it to a whole new level. The granular synthesis technique used for the car noises give them so much more life than any Forza game, or any game ever made for that matter, ever could. The use of raytracing for the audio gives the world a whole new level of depth that most people would never even think to program in. The first time I drove through a tunnel in Guanojuato, I think there was a weird audio bug happening, but then I realized that no, this is exactly how this should sound; I've just never heard this level of detail be expressed in a game before because the natural reverb effect of those tunnels is simply far too complex to recreate convincingly without the aid of raytracing.

    HOWEVER, this game does unfortunately suffer from the same online blunders that FH4 suffered from. This includes random disconnects, the game not doing what you told it to (like running an open race when you specifically chose "convoy only"), mild syncing discrepancies that can cause unpredictable driving effects, etc. If it weren't for the lack luster online performance, my only real complaint with the game would be that there are too many button inputs to chose from and not enough buttons to map those to. For example, if you are like me and run manual no clutch, then you are forced to have an input for the following:

    Accelerate (rt)
    Brake (lt)
    Shift up (a)
    Shift down (b)
    Rewind (y)
    Activate (x)
    Map (view)
    Menu (start)
    Radio next (d-pad right)
    Activate Anna (ls)
    Horn (rs)
    Forza Link (d-pad left
    Photo mode (d-pad up)

    At this point, all thats left is d-pad down, which I relegate my telemetry to. Now, where can I put the convertable option? Nowhere, because theres just not enough buttons on an xbox controller. What they need to do is allow xbox players to use a keyboard to bind lesser-used controls to. Why can't I put Anna and Forza link on a keyboard? Seems like an easy implementation that they just refuse to do. This can be done on PC no problem, so it just seems like a weird oversight for a game that is so incredibly well optimized.    … Expand

    I got to give this one a thumbs down. Barely different to Forza Horizon 4, this is a game for kids, not for adults. Sure the handling can be challenging but it isn't as good as it could be - and the constant chatter, grand parading of cars and dancing on stage are annoying as hell. Great for the Tik Tok generation, but not adults.

    WHY IS THIS GAME NOT AMAZING?
    Hello my name is jhon and my Gametag is JhonRivaille, I really like racing whether in game, movie or real life and this criticism is for the directors of this franchise, what is the biggest problem with this franchise?
    I WILL TALK FIRST ABOUT THE GAME DEVELOPMENT AND AFTER THE GAME 1- Development time, I don't know how the development of a game of this    WHY IS THIS GAME NOT AMAZING?
    Hello my name is jhon and my Gametag is JhonRivaille, I really like racing whether in game, movie or real life and this criticism is for the directors of this franchise, what is the biggest problem with this franchise?
    I WILL TALK FIRST ABOUT THE GAME DEVELOPMENT AND AFTER THE GAME

    1- Development time, I don't know how the development of a game of this size works but I believe it would take at least 5 years to make a game well done, it would be great to STOP releasing one racing game per year and START releasing one game well done by generation because you can keep strength in high only with upgrade.
    2 -And the second most important thing To unite the two studios, (Turn10 and playgrounds) and unite the two games into one, so that the developers work on the same game, that would be great for two reasons, the first, the two studios would have divided work one studio takes care of cars and physics and the other studio takes care of the map, etc, and the second reason would be that the community would be more united, it would never have an empty lobby over the years.

    THESE WOULD BE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN MY OPINION

    Now I'm going to talk about the game.
    For me the forza horizon 5 IS FUN however it is the same game as always only in another country and this is very bad for the new generation, because we players expect an evolution of the previous games, not just change the graphics that it doesn't work anymore, at least with me.
    Come on, one of the biggest mistakes of the game is that it's just to please kids and casual gamers, the amount of racing the game pushes on the player.
    In an hour playing I've played all the tracks and in the hardest mode.

    SOAP PHYSICS, it doesn't seem like the car is fast, it seems like it slides on the ground and it's really bad, especially online, when a player hits me my car flies because of that damn physics, because you don't create a SIMULATION MODE that you can play in control for those who want to take the game seriously, compete.
    Simulation equal to BeamNG DRIVE with complete destruction of cars and scenarios, until today in 2021 I don't understand why cars and scenarios don't break in forza? This would already be an absurd evolution for racing games.
    CHEKPOINT, because you didn't **** find a way to keep players on track without this **** chekpoint, to me it's one of the most annoying things about this game.
    PUNISHMENT, who was the person who had the brilliant idea of ​​putting punishment when the player hits the wall? this is the fourth thing that makes it impossible to win a race, it would be much better if it didn't HAVE BEACHES but BIG BLUE ARROWS the same in NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND.

    SHORT RACING.there's not much to talk about, these are races that you can't compete in, so there should be a simulation mode with longer races for those who like competition.
    REWARDS.for me it's one of the big problems with this franchise, because the game PUSHES so many races and so many rewards for all players that the game dies before launching another one, because you don't make a game slow, for example the player starts with a car and little by little he gathers money to buy one part at a time, one car at a time, just like in the Need for Speed ​​underground
    Barn Cars. It's a good idea but a half-hearted idea because there's nothing fun and challenging about just finding a car, and yet it fixes itself. How do I actually make it work? When the player finds the car, the player You have to look for all the parts to restore this car, but not easily find it, it has to be very difficult, like looking for parts in places that have a lot of mud so the player has to use a special car for that same terrain, in the snowrunner game, betting races and etc, and not only that, these hidden cars have to be just iconic cars from movies like mad max's car, espeed racer, akira's bike yes bikes but only iconic bikes because it's the forza horizon i think it would be nice to have some motorcycles from well-known characters, and all these vehicles have to be good
    made and not like you do, like a fast furious car that is impossible to control but the player has to pay to have.
    Understand once and for all that forza horizon is a mix of real and virtual world, for example, why the name forza horizon? in my opinion horizon festival is just an excuse to do legal street racing without police, but not you need it just do a street race without police and with music, you don't need a festival, that's no good, you don't need to be 100% faithful to the real world, just know how to balance the real world is the virtual world just like in that movie ready play number one, which has a real race with scene destruction and vehicles that I find very insane and fun.

    I still feel the customisation options are lacking as some cars will only have the option of one bumper, or a couple of spoilers which is just not enough to customise and personalise the stock cars.

    For me I will still play and continue to play FH4 over Forza Horizon 5 as I just can’t click with the Mexico setting over previous settings and maps like the UK, and Australia. Forza Horizon 4 made me switch from PlayStation after 21 years to Xbox but unfortunately Forza Horizon 5 doesn’t feel as good but that’s just my opinion which i know is probably at odds with 95% of others.    … Expand

    The game is fine, although it's the same Forza Horizon 4 in different landscapes with some graphics improvement. But the music is a huge letdown for me. Since NFS Underground I can't imagine a racing game without some descent music and Horizon 5 has even worse pull than the 4th game. It's all the same cheap pop, no genre diversity whatsoever. I know South America has good music too

    I am not a racing game genre player (save Mario Kart) typically, but this game resonates with me.

    Poor graphical optimizations, awful looks unless you can run extreme and again a map with less variation than before. Hope you like deserts. Oh not to mention again a lack of a passable street mountain pass, probbably saving it for another DLC that costs half the price of the game.

    Il ne lui manque plus qu'à travailler sur les modèles 3D "humains" et ajouter un peu de vie dans ce monde de fou (plus d'animaux ou de passants) et on a le jeu '"parfait".

    Du fun à l'état pur pour ceux qui aiment les jeux de voiture, et pour les plus exigeants, il suffit de placer tous les curseurs sur simulation et on obtient un titre bien plus élitiste.

I've played racers since 2000 and FH5 is in the top 3 for me. The game is up there with NFS MW 2005 and MC3. It's exceptional in every category and brings the best of open world racing to the 2020s.

One of the things that has come over from Forza 4 is the terrible AI, which is worse than ever. You can be in the same car as an AI driver, flat out on straight and they will fly past you like a rocket somehow, they also seem to be able to stick to literally any surface like glue, whether it's the road, sand or mud. AI drivers don't slip or slide, whilst every car i've driven, not only feels almost identical to drive, they also feel like i'm constantly trying to drive on ice. Luckily this cost me nothing on gamepass so i can delete it and feel ok about it. I feel bad for anyone who payed for it though.… Expand
