    The game handling is amazing. The intro gets you hooked and shows you what's to come. After having 12hrs into the game, I can see why critics give it a 10/10

    This is probably the best and most fun game I've had in two years. Never been more excited for a game release. Now that I have it I can confidently say that it lived up to it's expectations. The graphics and driving are amazing, also has ray tracing to show of the power of the next gen consoles!

    Colaborando para que no le bajen la nota que se merece, además es un buen juego para mi representan muy bien monumentos históricos, ciudades y poblados, gráficamente espectacular y en cuanto historia pues es un juego de carreras no le podemos exigir una historia profunda a un juego de conducción pero lo divertido nadie se lo quita.

    The graphics are really nice. Looks amazing on Xbox Series X. I'm not a big racing fan, but I actually really enjoy this so far. It's easy to pick up and play, you can make it more challenging if you want. It's very rewarding and you just keep doing one more thing until you've been in the world for hours.

It's very rewarding and you just keep doing one more thing until you've been in the world for hours. I've played this with controller and a Logitech g920 wheel. The controller is definitely the way to play if you want to win your races. The wheel works great and is extremely immersive, but I'm definitely slower and more out of control. I haven't spent much time dialing the wheel in and that's next on my list, but either way this game is fun the entire time.… Expand

    Don't listen to people saying it's just copy and paste of Forza Horizon 4, they obviously didn't play this. Game of 2021 EASILY! And best looking console game to date. 100% A+ 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who has played the game since early access released and reached level 150+ i would say i have tried almost every aspect of the game so far, i believe this is the best game Playground games has ever made. the Graphics are superb on the Xbox Series X and PC with zero complaints, The Gameplay is a mix Between all the other Forza Horizon games with improvements which make the game the perfect open world racing game.

    The map is one of my favourite things about this game, the scale and diversity with locations is fantastic and there is so many different races and events to try out at different locations these include offroading in the dunes or jungle to driving up the Volcano which has insane views at the summit, also the campaign is a lot more detailed compared to previous Horizon games it still isn't perfect however for a racing game it is fine.

    Also improved with this game is the sound of the cars, they sound much more realistic compared to Forza Horizon 3/4, The different engine parts can make the sound of the cars change quite drastically which is a very good thing.

    For my final verdict i give Forza Horizon 5 a 10/10 and highly recommend it to anyone, this is simply the best open world car racing game.    … Expand

    Worth the wait for another Forza Horizon game. This does everything better than the previous game. There were a few flaws in Forza Horizon 4 and it was a bit bland in my opinion but this just totally tops it for me and It’s probably the best racing game I’ve had fun with in a while.

    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.
