    Definitivamente el mejor juego de carros de la historia hasta el momento, lo sigo jugando en series x después de más de 197 horas, es demasiado divertido de jugar, sumado a que gráficamente es una bestialidad, adicional la ambientación y los paisajes son de fotografía.
    Me saco el sombrero con esta obra maestra que nos dio Playground Games junto con Microsoft.

    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.

    Sem dúvidas é o jogo de corrida mais bonito lançado até agora. Além dos gráficos a jogabilidade é muito boa. Os desenvolvedores adicionam eventos e desafios semanais aumentando bastante a vida útil do jogo. O On=line é bem vivo e ativo. Recomendo.

    As always, a very good and beautiful Horizon game. It has everything you need from a racing game and more. It's beginner friendly or it can be a real challenge for experienced user. It's an arcade-sim style game, so not a Forza Motrosport game, just keep in mind.

    While the vehicles and racing game play is great. The game suffers from some eye rolling inclusion and side characters that are very unlike able.

They ruined the chill online freeroaming experience which allowed me to share my passion for cars with perfect strangers. Everything revolves around their events which are quite bad. The release was catastrophic and really put this publisher in a new light, they made their priorities clear and i will never trust them again with a d1 purchase. Engine sounds are quite bad, tuning was only marginally improved and the radio was censored in a way that is very uncommon for the western world. Where they trying to please some dictatorship?

It's a realistic simulation of real life driving, and for the cost, it's better than All of Roblox's car games combined. Yes, at times it CAN get too boring but I'd say it is better to drive around. The updates are really fun, and almost not having played FH4, even the recycled cars (that are bought back from older FH games) are really cool to see that they've gotten slower, and that is basically how we know that they have to move down to give space to EVEN FASTER cars. Sure it contains up to 100$ in-game purchases, but after you buy them, they are really fun. It is a must-play because the game is addictively fun.

I only wish I could drive around Uluru in a Lamborghini or drive a Ferrari through Melbourne.

    The graphics in this game are a 10/10 there are stunning, the cars look as real as you can make them in a video game, the environment look like Australia not a cheap knockoff.
    The sounds are amazing, each car has its own distinct sound and when you on dirt, sand of road it all sounds different.
    Each car also has different handling, like driving a Lamborghini on the road is easy but if I take it off-road all hell breaks loss or if I have a rally car it loves the dirt and sand, can’t get enough of them it performs so well, when I take it on the road not so much.
    This game also accomodates to all different types of players, like if you like drifting you can drift you heart out, if you like road racing you can do that, if you like racing in the outback you can do that (I’m a rally champion)

    Forza 5 is the best racing with incredible and beautiful open world.
    This game must be tried.

    THE RACING GAME. You don't need anything else. Maybe a story mode, but the game is literally endless.

    Graphically underwhelming for a "next gen" console seller. Actually underwhelming all around. How can you have a racing game with an everybody's a winner attitude? Also the whole push for inclusion is nice but it's borderline cringy. At least it's a fun and upbeat game but I'd personally take Midnight club over this any day

    Forza Horizon 5 is a masterpiece racing game for fans of this genre, which can entertain them for a long time, but we can't forget the the small changes compared to the previous game.

    This is the best racing game I've ever played. This is the first generation I picked up an Xbox and this has been the showpiece game for me. I'm not a racing guy, but this open-world racing style is amazing and I'm hooked. It's beautiful, action packed, fun to explore, has an insane amount of vehicles, and is just a joy to drive around the map. If you like open world games, don't sleep on this!

    worse than its predecessors, reading content missing from the game that was already in previous titles and selling it as "new" content
    had a good foundation but a new game wasn't really necessary could've just updated the old one

    Not a big fan on this genre of games but this is one of the best racing games ever made. From the visuals, the performance, music, the different activities through the map. Should have won GOTY 2021 without a doubt.

    My only issue is you're able to tell, pretty early on, the developers weren't exactly sure what to do with this game. At least the game is a pretty sight to behold.

    This Game Is Amazing. From the Visuals to just playing the game, this game is awesome. First of all the visuals are outstanding. It looks so real and the people that did them should feel proud.

    Don’t get me wrong the series 17 Japanese automotive was rad but the hw expansion was ,while cool and all, really controversial and I almost feel like leaving sometimes but hopefully we will get a much needed improvement in expansion 2 if not Horizon 6 If not, I don’t have much more hope for the devs
    They had a good run but paywalls and the whole “ppl don’t want an ordinary car version” kinda ruins it I’m on the lookout for Motorsport 8 and idk in the far future fm9 might be a last resort if you get what I mean. Solid(ish) game but like everyone says All good things must come to an end and that’s what I fear happened on the 28th September 2018. I still have a little hope but it’s deteriorating fast so the devs better get their 4$$es in gear
    Well rounded but boring without anything to do

    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.
