    The best Forza Horizon yet, best graphics thus far in any racing game. It has a solid frame rate that is locked 30 on quality mode, true 4k and locked 60 performance mode. in my opinion it's the way to play because it looks amazing and plays smooth as butter. All the ratings lower than 8 are fake or they are.......

    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.

    So it's been 2 days after the early access given by weather buying Premium Add-On for Gamepass or buying FH5 premium Edition. The game graphically is a masterpiece, it really shows an improvement from FH4, the weather, ground, trees, sky etc is very realistic. There's a lot more to do than FH4, and the map is bigger.

The real star here is Mexico, the map is stunning.

    I rated FH4 as 8 but this FH5 is a solid 10, the best racing game right now ever. For those guys comparing Gran Turismo against FH5, remember that the competitor of GT is not FH, is Forza Motorsport. Horizon Series is a mix between simulation and araced (mostly arcade) with a free roam which GT lacks of.

    It's a must play yes or yes, buy it/download it trough Gamepass right now!    … Expand

Congrats for the masterpiece that you've made. P.s. Ironically, the game studio needs to improve only in one thing (which is also a little bit better than the prequel), the narrative. I'm sure that they will do that better in the next sequel of the game, I'm not worried at all because right now I have to finish an entire game made exactly to excite me.… Expand

    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.

    Wheel support and FFB hasn't changed a thing since Forza Horizon 4. Still the absolute dogs.

    Game even crashes on every cutscene when using Fanatec wheelbases. As per usual, an inadequately tested product gets pushed to the masses, flipping them off once again.

    WOW... De verdad casi que sin palabras, este Forza es sin duda una de los juegos de carreras más espectaculares que jamás he jugado en la vida.

    Locación 10/10
    Gráficos 10/10
    Escala de los mapas 10/10
    Pero nización 10/10
    Jugabilidad 10/10

    De verdad es imposible encontrarle un defecto a este juego, simplemente no se puede.

    The game is Forza Horizon 4 but improved in every single way possible. Best racer out at the moment, and it isn’t even close.

    Another masterpiece from Playground! The selection of cars is is enormous, and driving through Mexico is just breathtaking on so many levels. Forza Horizon really is the best driving game around! Great job Xbox and Playground! See you guys in Mexico!

    ¡Oh, Dioses míos, él tiene razón!
    Der Vorgänger hat mich ab der ersten Sekunde gecatcht und war für mich innerhalb von ein Paar Stunden das beste Arcade-Racing-Game aller Zeiten. Ich dachte damals, wie soll man so ein gutes Spiel noch toppen? UND? Die Jungs und Mädels von PG haben es geschafft. FH5 hat einfach seinen Vorgänger abgelöst. Hervorragend!

    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.

    Forza Horzion 5 feels just like FH4 and FH3 however that's far from a bad thing. Not only is it different in landscape, the visuals have been improved immensely especially on the Series X and PC. This game deserves its phase and personally gets a 9/10 from me however the reason it gets a 10/10 is because its the best of its type and it places easily as one of the best car games ever made,Forza Horzion 5 feels just like FH4 and FH3 however that's far from a bad thing.

    Forza horizon all'ennesima potenza. Un gioco migliorato sotto ogni punto di vista rispetto al quarto capitolo e con molte novità.
    Probabilmente il miglior gioco di corse in circolazione e, vista la qualità, possibile goty di quest'anno. Se ha potuto vincere un gioco solo multiplayer come overwatch, può vincere anche un racing game.

    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.
