    Improves on many things from Forza 4. Menu structure is much better, graphics are better, sounds are better and the festival is less cringy than before, which is great!

    I would've awarded this game with a 9 if it weren't for the woke gender pronouns. Get out of here with this nonsense. It's a racing game.

    I strongly believe that this is currently the best racing game on the market currently. It covers pretty much ever kind of racing, and does all of them well. My only complaint is the voice acting, which is atrocious, but I’m more than willing to overlook that as it is far from the main focus.

    What can I say for this amazing game. Xbox did it again. A GOTY contender for me. Absolutely stunning graphics (Even in performance mode) & So much more. Mexico was a great place for Forza.

    A jam packed filled adventure of racing fun. If you're a fan of racing games in general, this should be at the top of your list.

    The game closes, the developers don't do anything about it. There is no normal driver from Nvidia, mediocre optimization.

    Apresentação incrível, jogabilidade continua a mesma da versão anterior o que de forma nenhuma é ruim, o seu personagem agora fala o que torna a experiência melhor. Só não dou 10 por causa da forçação de barra e assassinato a língua portuguesa que é a inclusão da linguagem neutra

    Se você jogou Forza Horizon 4 e achou que não tinha como melhorar além do que já existia e que a franquia ia começar a declinar em qualidade, você estava errado. Eu não tinha muitas expectativas, mesmo após ver gameplays. Achava que os gráficos não estavam grande coisa e que o jogo ia ser basicamente a mesma coisa do 4, mas depois que eu abri o jogo e joguei por 1 hora já foi o suficienteSe você jogou Forza Horizon 4 e achou que não tinha como melhorar além do que já existia e que a franquia ia começar a declinar em qualidade, você estava errado. Eu não tinha muitas expectativas, mesmo após ver gameplays. Achava que os gráficos não estavam grande coisa e que o jogo ia ser basicamente a mesma coisa do 4, mas depois que eu abri o jogo e joguei por 1 hora já foi o suficiente pra me apaixonar completamente, tanto pelo conteúdo como pela jogabilidade, pelos gráficos, mas principalmente pelo mundo aberto de tirar o fôlego. O que a Playground Games fez com esse spin-off do Motorsport vai entrar para a história como a franquia de corrida de mais sucesso da humanidade, é impossível jogar isso e não ficar maravilhado com o nível de qualidade que essa equipe colocou nesse jogo.… Expand

They are a lot of thing that we can do, some races, just drive the car for few hours, do some jumps, do drift, play with your friend at différents games, custom your car. And the reflections of the light is very amazing. Good Job!… Expand

    Forza Horizon 5 é fantástico e consegue ser superior aos seus antecessores, se consolidando como a melhor franquia de carros que existe, a qualidade técnica, gráficos, otimização e a principio de tudo, o fator diversão, fazendo com que o mesmo se torne um dos melhores jogos do ano.

    Its exactly what you’d expect from playground games, its the epitome of what an open world racer mmo should be, graphics are amazing, driving feels amazing, unlimited customization potential, almost every car you could think of, track/race creator, amazing social features, accessibility for people who never even tried a racing game before and the sights in this game are spectacular, now,Its exactly what you’d expect from playground games, its the epitome of what an open world racer mmo should be, graphics are amazing, driving feels amazing, unlimited customization potential, almost every car you could think of, track/race creator, amazing social features, accessibility for people who never even tried a racing game before and the sights in this game are spectacular, now, if you are looking for a heavy narrative driven linear story in a racing game, this is not for you, it still gets a 10 for me cause this game doesn’t even need a story to be the perfect arcade racer, have fun and enjoy the game ^,,^… Expand

    This game is amazing! Its so much better than the last forza games, and there's so much to do! The game isn't grindy at all, it's very easy to get cool cars, and the open world is MASSIVE! Forza horizon 5 is the best forza game by far!

    As a single player game this is a 9, but it's let down by an online experience which lacks depth. It focuses on fun with a slant towards bouncing across fields. If that is what you want then it's all good but if you want to just do street racing you can't not easily anyway. If you want to mute annoying players - you can't...not easily anyway and not using game functionality.

The fact it's in ganepass is a steal. Its a similar platform to forza 3 and 4 and forA y will need to change it up.

    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.
