    Masterpiece. The gold standard of racing games, nothing comes close. Playground have batted it out of the park once again.

    Unsure what some of the reviewers here were expecting regards to the similarities with FH4. There are similar aspects (it is a driving game) and as one of the most successful driving games ever, they would be foolish not to use the same blueprint. Mexico is more varied then the UK in its environments and there are some cool set pieces.

There are similar aspects (it is a driving game) and as one of the most successful driving games ever, they would be foolish not to use the same blueprint. Mexico is more varied then the UK in its environments and there are some cool set pieces. Visually the game is beautiful and to this point I havent decided to shush the game audio and play my spotify over it - a good sign. Sure some of the non-driving interactions are a bit hammy, and I dislike being referred to as "superstar" (I never reached level 200 in FH4) - but you are here for having fun in a driving experience which is as authentic or arcadey as you wish.
    There must be hundreds of hours of gameplay here, along with the weekly events which playground will bring in, and the DLC when it drops. Especially on game pass this is great value for your money.    … Expand

    I really dont like the hippster-event story again and again! Please make something new and more adult, there is so much potential! The rest of the game looks very nice but it feels a bit like a dlc from fzh 4...

    Que gran juego. Una jugabilidad .gráfica nex-gent total es lejos el mejor juego de automóviles arcade que existe total mente recomendable y bien por el equipo Playground Games lejos el mejor estudio de la compañía Microsoft

    Es el mejor juego de conducción, tanto por sus mecanicas, gameplay y gráficos.
    Quien diga lo contrario posiblemente no lo ha jugado...

    this is one of the best games I've played, graphics 10/10, gameplay 10/10, fun 10/10, you can see that playground games have done a great job compared to the last part. After that I cannot play in Forza Horizon 4!!!

    This game is phenomenal. Whether it be the racing, the scenery, or just the exploration, this game does everything extremely well. The world itself is so compelling that advancing through the races and challenges seems entirely optional. I’ve spent hours just driving around Mexico and taking pictures. That’s not to say the racing isn’t excellent, it is. This game is the whole package.This game is phenomenal.

As a matter of fact, there isn’t a better game thus far this year and by a good margin. This game is a must play.… Expand

    Everything that made Forza Horizon 4 a great game plus more event types, an improved story progression, and next gen graphics. Fun as always, if you liked FH4 you'll love this game.

    Wow. Mexico looks beautiful! As a person born in Monterrey, I feel like I've not traveled through Mexico enough, and I've been places! This game captures the biodiversity of my beautiful country (Mexico is top 3 most biodiverse in the world) in an elegant, beautifil, and precise way. The game hooks you in since the very beginning, and doesn't get any worse throughout your journey. ItWow. Mexico looks beautiful!

    É um jogo empolgante. Alegre, desafiante. Cheio de conteúdos e bom gosto. O online é robusto, a campanha surpreendente. Não é só um jogo de corrida, é um pouco mais que isso.

    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.
