    Графика? Огонь.
    Физика? Для аркады балдёж.
    Геймплей? Отличный. Звуки и музыка? Бомба, честно говоря Баги? На месте. Огромный разнообразный мир с кучей тачек, игра огонь и затягивает далеко и надолго. Британцы делают вещи, моё почтение    Графика? Огонь.

    This game... Is amazing. Forza Horizon 5 has taken the past games and just upgraded everything. Side Quests are fun, Exploring has huge benefits, the prizes are plentiful. This time we have gift cars, you can just give a car to somebody. Collection is key with you earning great prizes from having all of a certain car type, but don't fret.

    Sin dudas el mejor juego de autos hasta el momento, la calidad grafica, la jugabilidad y todos esos pequeños detalles hacen que sea la mejor experiencia Forza hasta la fecha. Ahora a la espera para el próximo Motorsport!

    It's a good game. It has great optimization and beautiful graphics, but still has too many bugs. Hope they'll get fixed.

    Another good Horizon game held back by a lack of gameplay improvement and an online that doesn’t work.

    Not fast, I’m furious. You start the game off by dropping cars out of a plane while simply awful music plays at a volume so loud you can’t hear your engine. So you mute the music. But wait!

The voice actors are beyond cringey _my friend_ The video is not without quirks either - pop-in, aliasing, terrible “window effects” like water on your windshield when you’re not in first person view, low resolution textures, stuttering frame rate on Xbox Series X. The selection of cars is also just sad - who ever wanted to drive a Bronco in a racing game?! A rally Porsche? The controls are floaty and don’t depend on the terrain. The steering doesn’t vary between cars. The rumble in the controller is so OP that you’ll need to turn it off right away. Instant uninstall, if the video, audio, gameplay are bad, all that’s left is the stilted “campaign” and unskippable vignettes. Hard pass.… Expand

Lod textures it's nasty popin so far i have seen on series X performance mode less on quality mode buts its there and even on PC and on other Xbox consoles another benefit to graphics would be TAA series X could have really used 8x msaa with TAA that would clean the image further and cover screen and grass edges a lot better than just 4x msaa other than that there's nothing else to nitpick the game is a masterpiece the open world of Mexico is so beautiful the cars are awesome anyone on Xbox that buys Forza horizon 5 physical disc copy or even digital instead of renting it on gamepass has my respect because this is the type of game that deserves your hard earn money this is a game that deserves to be bought full price must play… Expand

La variedad de tareas y carreras da para jugar meses enteros. El multiplayer funciona a la perfección. Playground Games han hecho el mejor juego de conducción de toda la historia. Bravo!

    Honestly, I can't in good conscience give this game a higher score. So I'll leave my disclaimer at the top before I explain why my score is so low. The graphics are amazing. Yes. They are. Just like Horizons 2, 3 and 4, the graphics are good. The cars are cool. Just like every other Horizon game (and, some might argue, every racing game, although I will say that Forza does cars just a bitHonestly, I can't in good conscience give this game a higher score. So I'll leave my disclaimer at the top before I explain why my score is so low. The graphics are amazing. Yes. They are. Just like Horizons 2, 3 and 4, the graphics are good. The cars are cool. Just like every other Horizon game (and, some might argue, every racing game, although I will say that Forza does cars just a bit better than other series).

    Beyond the graphics and the cars though, there's really nothing to this game at all. Mexico really doesn't feel like Mexico, the desert areas feel not much different from the Outback in Horizon 3, and the highways feel much the same as every other highway in the Horizon series. The city areas are the only ones that feel more distinct, which is crazy considering that the ancient temples are included in the game but the temple areas honestly feel unfinished. There was so much potential with those areas but they're really wasted. I want to make it clear: I have no issue with the choice of Mexico as a destination. Quite the contrary, in fact, I love it. I just wish they had actually done something unique with it instead of it feeling just the same as the other entries in the series.

    My next and probably biggest issue is with the progression of the game. In just a few hours of very casual play time I had unlocked more than half of the game's content and I was getting bombarded with calls from Rami and Ale about unlocking more content. It's frankly ridiculous and more than a bit overwhelming. At least give me a chance to do half of the content I've already unlocked before dumping more on me please. I'm sure the casual gamers love having everything handed to them but I prefer a challenge. It ruins any and all sense of progression, as there's no difficulty curve whatsoever.

    This also applies to the fact that you can get literally anything you want with ease. Again, in just a few hours of casual play, I already had the most expensive car in the game, and I had enough credits to upgrade any car in my collection all the way without even a second thought. I know that things will be easier for me due to my experience in racing games, but I was playing casually. I didn't even win half the races I entered, and I was driving aimlessly around the map more often than I was entering races. Yet still I was frequently progressing and making money without even trying.

    To be honest, this series has been going downhill from the very start. The first game in the series was the only one to have any sort of storyline at all (and it's still a stretch to call it that), and since then they've done away with any pretense of story entirely. It really begs the question: who is this game made for? Casual gamers? Well, they'd probably love it, but they'd get bored of it after a week like they do with everything else. Car enthusiasts? They have loads of titles to pick from with much more realistic driving, including the other Forza series. Competitive gamers? The online experience certainly does not lend itself well to a competitive environment, and there is absolutely nothing challenging about the offline experience of the game.

    Make no mistake, Forza Horizon 5, as always, is an enjoyable experience with good graphics and cool cars. But, just like other titles in the Horizon series, that is literally all it offers. There is nothing beyond the most basic of necessities.    … Expand

    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.
