    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.

    Best driving game ever.
    Fun if you just wanna have fun.
    Dead serious if you're competitive.

    The best driving game I've ever played, graphics and detail are insane. Playground games are one of the best developers in the industry.
    Amazing 10/10

    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).

    Great game. Just ignore all the negative reviews, these are just Playstation losers who are angry because nobody likes their garbage last of us part 2, but everyone loves and Forza Horizon 5 (over 8 million players on first week) and Halo Infinite Multiplayer is most popular shooter of 2021 and also seems to have amazing story.

    I feel like this game is overrated. It isn't that much fun than Forza 4. I think they could've done better.

    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.

    I have a low feeling of progression. But one thing I like about this game - You can pick any car for any race and have fair opponents. That is revolutionary. I give it 7/10

    Some glitches but ultimately they build on previous great game. Graphics and quality hold up well even on the One X

    Realmente bueno para jugar solo y con amigos, como latino que este inspirado en Mexico me gusta bastante también su comunidad en cuanto a personalización de vehículos es genial, poder crear el Tsuru tuneado es genial jajajaja, tambien la competición entra amigos en radares, saltos etc, incita a querer jugar mas para poder superarlos, en general es un buen juego

    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.

    New cars, new map, nothing works. All online modes are broken by terrible net code. Story missions can be easy to impossible at random. No one tested them at all. Tons of trainers for cheating available. There is nothing really positive about the game other than graphics. Someone just threw in 50 different game modes half baked and never tested any of them.

    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 theForza Horizon 5 is visually appealing and fun to play right from the start.

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.

    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.
