    the best racing open-world I played

    -The nature of Mexico and its buildings are very beautiful.
    -The details of the cars and their driving are very special

    The only negative that Forza still suffers from is the depth of car modification

And Ill be in for 6 when it inevitably comes out. I just would like for them to take some risks and change up the formula a bit. Maybe some sense of progression would be nice. Starting out with a junker car and only after winning races and status are you able to slowly upgrade to fancier and fancier cars.… Expand

The team is of course aware of the numerous strengths of the series and is developing them sensibly and consistently. You can look forward to a "Best of Horizon" that grabs you from the first moment and pulls you into the racing game spell. The grippy driving physics with their elegant and always convincing balancing act between simulation and arcade fun makes the beginning. Based on this, more than enough competitions and activities await in Mexico, in which you can hunt over 500 well-modeled vehicles through the varied botany, over highways, jungle areas and much more. With the even better interlinked reward systems, you might be exaggerating a bit - but I'm always happy when something new has been achieved and I'm rewarded with a wide variety of goodies. And the scenery is just beautiful - even if the high-gloss finish of Horizon 5 shows a few dull spots from time to time: the figures are by far not as attractive as the bodies or the surroundings, which also have one or the other small flaws as rather minor missing character distance in grass shows. But these are droplets on an otherwise damn hot graphics stone, which always runs smoothly on the Xbox Series X in both quality (4K/30 frames) and performance mode (4K/60 frames with dynamic details). You are probably also aware of the weaknesses. But these don't seem to be easy to get a grip on, as in the case of the occasional network code problems and, above all, the very fickle AI of the Drivatars. Or maybe you'd think that given the obvious qualities and high-flying motivational spiral of Mexico's Horizon Festival, players are willing to accept those weaknesses - it worked for me. Forza Horizon 5 has raised the bar for arcade frenzy once again, putting the already barely visible competition in their place once again… Expand

However, the game overall is a step back from Horizon 4. Scummy microtransactions, a lackluster world (it’s beautiful, but not much to do), reused car models from, and I’m not even joking, Forza Horizon 2, and the reused and bland car sounds all make for a subpar experience compared to the previous entry, if you like Horizon you’re probably better off sticking to 4 for the time being.… Expand

    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.

    It definitely has marginally improved visuals over FH4 and there's some more shrubs and cacti to SMACTUS!, if you're into that kinda nonsensical destruction.

    Then, as soon as the game start to add some reason to the mindless countryside destruction with a fully sick radio DJ announcing something like "Buckle up Buckeroos! Start swinging that skill chain, cos this next song gets you DOUBLE SKILL POINTS! Drop that needle, Elroy!", you're introduced to the Overly-censored Music selection which features several songs having jarring vocal cuts smack-bang in the middle of benign sentences that you have no idea what they're even about (though I guess it's fair they couldn't use the word BAR in that Ladyhawke track in case some religious nut flays their child and then ushers them out the frontdoor to be stoned by the rest of the townspeople).. But I guess they wanted to be able 'name drop' current hit bands and songs for 'street cred' to garner extra interest from the general public? Anyway the result sounds like the cheap CASH GRAB stunt it is with how BUTCHERED THE MUSIC winds up being.

    Another glaring oversight when playing on modern equipment is Incorrect HDR tone-mapping which presents on 10-bit displays with such quality visual effects such as red taillights appearing white at night. Not normally the kind of issue you'd expect on a flagship title of this supposed calibre.

    All-in-all, there's nothing new or original here if you've played Forza Horizon 2... or 3... or 4..
    The night sky does look a bit better in this one I'll admit, but it's still not using 12K photography like the daytime sky has been since FH3.

    TL;DR: Gameplay-wise, it's more of the same. Visually, some obvious improvements, yet a wonky HDR implementation tarnishes the final image. Audio is objectively worse due to a heavily censored track selection - I'm sure NOBODY enjoys huge sections of silence where some catchy lyrics are supposed to be. Why didn't they just choose some kickass electronica and driving rock riffs with minimal vocals that don't need to be removed? Or some vocal-less mixes of the same tracks directly from the studios? The mind boggles..    … Expand

    The games progression is way too fast which makes the fun part of the game too short, there also is a lot of change in quality of the car models some of them are good some are reused models from FM5 (Silvia S15 for example). They also try to expand the games lifespan by missing out on cars from fh4 or fh3 and later adding them back in with the same model and everything just to have content.

    A new installment of Forza "Horizon" flavor with much, too much Mexican flavor (and too many cheap Hollywood movie cliches about Mexico).

    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.    … Expand

Forza Horizon 5 is the most realistic racer i ever see with Mexico really looking like real life Mexico, the palm trees with that most detail as it is in real life, true realistic detail on cars and realistic reflections, real sunlight and with the nature being so real how the sun goes in your car in a straight beam and at situations like it actuallyI love this racing game so much!

Real shadow effects so when you exit a forest, the reflections and sunlight that comes after exiting dark forest is so realistic. Sun actually situation with where has reflections on car.

    Great Game for newcomers in the franchise, bad game for FH4 veterans.
    Don't get me wrong the game is great, has really good handling, nice graphics, superb sound, and a lot of cars and tracks since the beginning.

    After already 30hours I feel a lack of motivation I never had before in any Forza game. Because everything feels a lot like FH4.
    And then they are things which are unacceptable like no ranked online racing ??! I get that not everyone likes ranked racing, but give me at least the possibility!!! Even if I don’t gain a single credit, I would pass my time in ranked lobbies. Also, the Music playlists are mediocre, so either you offer a Spotify integration or make good radios like GTA Online.
    From a technical point of view a Great game, from an FH4 Veteran's point of view a Complete disappointment. And just for notice, I'm not a bad Forza player or anything like that I'm actually really fast, being in the top 1000 in every rival's Circuit with my best placement at 12th on Cathedral in S2 998.    … Expand

    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.
