    Everything about the game is good except for repeated intake sounds and an almost unplayable online server which causes traffic to despawn in free roam

    This game is okay but it is just another tired racing game. It's not even the best racing simulator. Gran Turismo owns that category.

    Скучная, неинтересная карта, у каждого биома только один цвет, множество багов и цензура разрабов, уже столько времени прошло, а ни одну из проблем с оптимизацией не починили.

    The best driving game I've ever played, graphics and detail are insane. Playground games are one of the best developers in the industry.

    More of the same, but still at the top of open world racing class, with nothing coming close. After playing FH4 this year, the core game is just too samey, and the graphics didnt take that big of a leap that I thought it would (it looks very similar to FH4). Still great, just dont expect anything mindblowing if you have played FH before.

    One of the best (if not best) racing video games of all time. Phenomenal graphics (yes it actually looks better than 4). Over 500 solid cars. DeLorean, i think it even has this Knight Rider car, lots of Lambos, etc. Amazing huge map to drive around and have fun, story missions are nothing special, but they are there, if you get bored of driving around, good music (Hospital Records).

    The Multiplayer part is awful, you don't see your teammate on the map or the map is in ghost mode, there is no team marking on the map, so the experience is 0 I buy a need for speed if I want to play solo. It's full of bugs and they're screwed. I do not recommend for sure.

    There’s only two things that prevents it from being a perfect game: lack of new vehicles & innovative races from what we saw in FH4. Mexico is GORGEOUS and without a doubt the star of the show. Tip of the cap to you Playground Games.

    Forza Horizon 5 is visually appealing and fun to play right from the start. The game feels well-paced. Not too quick, not too long, and takes around 40-50 hours to do mostly everything in single player.

I dislike how quickly the game throws cars at you, specifically higher class / higher power cars which almost feels like you're being rushed through the game without earning it, but at the same time I appreciate some people like this.

    The car models are absolutely fantastic with great attention to detail and lots of variety. Customisation and tuning is lots of fun and very detailed, along with the paint shop and body kits. Sadly, the sounds I feel are very flat and lacklustre and leave a lot to be desired.

    Multi-player is almost entirely dysfunctional at the time of writing. Server connection drops, convoy and player ghosting, rubber banding, etc. Bitterly disappointing for a game which would be so much fun with friends.

    Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game and would recommend it. Throw on some music in the background and you can lose a few hours in here easily. Though, don't expect to do any online cruising with your friends just yet.    … Expand

    Very good game but similar to fh4 just on new, nicer map. Graphics in 4k 30 on xsx very good, in 60 fps mode bad draw distance and popping, also anti aliasing far from being good in both modes. Series have main problem with lack of progression as whole game look like endgame not proper one. In the end if you are not bored by previous fh games I can recommand.

    I'm gonna give this game 5. Let's start with the good things: The graphics are extraordinary, they added a bunch of new cars and a lot of new effects to the game. The bad part it's that it doesn't worth the upgrade for the Horizon 4 to 5, it still feels like the same game.

    I have played all Horizon games and I have the impression that I have been playing the same game all the time since the third part. Sure Horizon 5 looks great, the sound is improved, there is a lot of variety in races, but - I admit with a heavy heart as a fan of the series - after spending a few hours with the latest installment - I'm already bored with it.

    In my opinion, the only thing that really changes is the location, because the cars have been practically the same for a long time. Sure, some new models and some classics are added, but the vast majority of the garage is still the same. The only thing that changes is that in one part the car can be bought at the showroom, then it is found in the barn, and next as a part of the DLC. This does not change the fact that there are not enough new cars - example? Audi - new models: RS6, RS7, RSQ8 - nothing in the game. New VW GTI/R - none. New GT3 and Turbo models for the 911 - same.
    Personally, I am also bothered by the fact that the collection of cars is somewhat detached from the country in which the game is taking place. Since we're in Mexico, let there be more American cars, a little less known models perhaps, but let's limit the number of, for example, hot hatches that are simply not there. What works for the UK does not work for Mexico.
    The games from the Horizon series are great, but for players who play a lot in the each installment of the series, they do not present any added value - just new views outside the car window and a little changes here and there. In my opinion, Horizon needs more integration of locations and cars. Choosing a country where the automotive culture does not exist does not make sense, because the world is becoming a generic place. In the second installment, the south of Europe matched the climate of supercars, trips between Horizon stops, etc. A lot of local cars appeared in Australia. There was no general idea in the UK anymore, but since the car scene is huge there, everyone could create their own „car world” in the game. And in Mexico - I don't know ... I don't like it. The country in the game is beautiful, but it’s not great for a car game. Japan would be much more appropriate, or a return to the USA (eg California). I will spend many hours in the 5th installment, but it is not the same thrill as in the 1st or 2nd installment.    … Expand

Where are the new 202020212022 cars! why is there literally no progression in this game, why is there no story! why are there no cops! wheres the thrill and adventure from fh2! why is there so much emphasis of quantity over quality! why isnt Horizon growing anymore, its crazy and yet wonderful to know how the games of past time got things so right before the influences of corporate and money mongering that naturally comes with.
    i know as a horizon fan atleast from horizon 2 back in the ps3 days i was fully expecting horizon to fully ensoul their games and become more of what it was to be.
    Fh3 is forgivable but fh4 and 5 are meaning less and are missing the depth and excitement they once inspired in me. all this has become is a battle royale for cars at this point. and i have little hope for Test Drive Solar Crown(looking at the trends of industry) as their standard far outranks any driving game ive experienced thus far and thats ...sad.

    Guys please bring back simplicity in fh6 nothing matters as much as the meaning you imbue in the games you would have us play, they are beautiful indeed but we all know how far a relationship will go with a beautiful woman who has no interests, purpose and skill driving her life. You have done it before you were the young lady who everyone looked at and saw not only beauty but potential to be useful to those around her far beyond her imaginings that was until the rich old man saw this too and spoiled her rotten with money & ease throwing out all the struggle, all challenges and changes that were to mold and grow her in becoming her destiny and manifesting her potential fully.
    A full instagram baby you now are lol and yet you still are capable of becoming more than that, to move past the glamour and noise of the big maps, too many cars unending pointless activities and cringe npcs acting as giant blobs of glue trying their best to stick all this together.
    What i ask only is that please, before this era of gaming changes to whatever it will be please leave us with a glimpse of that brilliance you once were to have games we know we can share lovingly with our wives or girlfriends or friends or even generations to come from us long after you guys are gone cause fh2 was one of those games for me.

    like clean games without bugs.

    Below is my extended long review.

    I'm a gamer who played this game for an average of five hours and two weeks play.
    It involves a very personal evaluation of this game.
    This is a very well-made game. very faithfully equipped with the basics as a racing game. lots of cars, lots of tuning, lots of different road condition racing... However, there is no significant improvement compared to the previous game. This game series is like the FIFA series. (It comes out in a short period of time, but almost nothing has changed. A noticeable improvement is a new car and new map. I think it would have been okay if this game was an additional expansion pack of FH4.)
    There are many contents of the game, but there is no depth. Like water in a wide plate.(depth is a problem that all racing games have. This isn't just a FH5's problem)
    The purpose of this game is not specific, and the story is very simple, short, and fragmented, so those who need a purpose in the game will easily get tired of this game.
    The balance is seriously broken in some car classes. (Like Sestoelemento FE, which is super fast like F1 cars in class X)
    Sometimes you can feel unfair about the way AI plays. (Developers did not give AI better intelligence than their previous game, but gave their cars better acceleration and grip than actual performance. This phenomenon is more pronounced when AI difficulty is high and vehicle rating is high.)
    If you bought this game very quickly, countless bugs would bother you.
    The early bugs of the game are now a tradition of this game series.

    The explanation of the disadvantages was longer than the explanation of the advantages, but if you like cars, like racing games, and like well-recorded exhaust sounds, you'll be able to enjoy this game enough.    … Expand

Then the season feature is annoying, For example you wanna do a speed zone but its the fall so your car can't get any grip so you have to do another speed zone or try this one again and again or wait 3 weeks for the season the season to change. The dialogue is very VERY cringey Because this is supposed to be a E for everyone game it has to have no swear words and the songs are like that to they're edited to not include swear words and the story is not gripping and is entirely bland and there are lots of bugs but those will probably get ironed out. Now onto the good things The games graphics look gorgeous, There is lots more customization and the updates add a lot more content. Summary: Buy this game if you like a showcase game (When People come to your house and you wanna show how powerful your xbox is) and as a meh racing game.… Expand

Die Grafik ist das beste was ich je gesehen habe… die Konkurrenz kommt nicht mal ohne Open World auf dieses Niveau… die Abwechslung ist enorm und die Open World so wunderschön und vielseitig, dass ich mir nicht vorstellen kann, dass da noch etwas im nächsten Teil besser werden könnte.

Terrible online, on which, in principle, the whole game is tied, disconnects and few players in sessions who, moreover, disappear. Bugs in Bouncer mode. Most of the cars migrated from FH2 / 3 with terrible low-poly bottoms of pixel quality, SUVs, even new products in FH5, have horribly drawn car bottoms, the wheels turn by an unknown mechanism, the suspension is generally wooden and made for show, the wheels spin separately from the entire suspension, that's what I say as a certified auto mechanic who understands how it works, let's take the SnowRunner as a comparison, there is an amazing drawing of the suspension and its work.

    Игра калл, Forza Horizon 2/3/4 на новой карте, игра лагает, вылетает, жрёт очень много оперативной и видеопамяти, выдает графические артефакты в виде окантовки цветных пикселов вокруг растительности и других текстур, черные дороги и черная земля,непонятные черные отражения на дорогах, игра работает нестабильно, т.е на оптимизацию для ПК ( большинства ) забили. Ужасный онлайн, на котором в принципе завязана вся игра, дисконнекты и мало игроков в сессиях которые к тому же пропадают. Баги в режиме Вышибала. Большинство машин перекочевали из FH2/3 с ужасными низкополигональными днищами пиксельного качества, у внедорожников, даже у новинок в FH5 ужасно прорисованные днища машин, колеса поворачиваются неведомым механизмом, подвеска вообще деревянная и сделана для галочки, колеса крутятся отдельно от всей подвески, это я говорю как дипломированный автомеханик, который понимает как это работает, возьмем в сравнение тот же SnowRunner, там потрясающая прорисовка подвески и её работа.    … Expand

Sure there are a few bits that look a tiny bit better here and there but it's certainly not a generational leap like we used to get back in the day. I also played it on the older Xbox One X and couldn't tell the difference between the Xbox One X and Xbox Series X versions. And the content feels like I've done it all before because I have done it all before in Forza Horizon 3 and 4. For example the showcase events. You race bikes, planes, trains the same as you did in the last 2 games. They could have at least watched some old episodes of Top Gear and ripped off some of the whacky races out of that because that's exactly where the showcase events took inspiration from in the first place. Because it doesn't look any better than the last 2 games and the races are very similar it basically feels like Forza Horizon 4.5 rather than 5. It's just a new location and a few new cars really. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great racing game and top of the pile when it comes to racing games. You won't find a prettier more well polished racer out there than this. It's just growing stale. I unlocked all the main events and did all the big races within 2 days and then became bored of it.… Expand

    Forza Horizon 5 chose a fantastic theme for their new map that being Mexico and have done wonders in making it feel so authentic and beautiful it’s truly a gorgeous looking world. Playground included iconic locations from all over Mexico itself, different biomes and weather events all while making it feel natural and not just different places stapled together.

    The story of the game is nothing to write home about and was to be expected as playground has always focused more on the core gameplay and that’s no exactly a bad thing as I have yet to play a racing game that has a remotely good story, I have always looked past that in racing games because when playing a racer the story of the game is not what I’m looking for.

    I played Forza Horizon 5 on the Xbox Series X in performance mode and it ran outstandingly well and the only problem was disconnecting from their servers from time to time and I can only assume this was due to the vast amount of people playing during launch, only time will tell.    … Expand
