    Mediocre racing game. Sucks. Boring. Why is this a big deal for Xbox fanboys?

    Definitivamente el mejor juego de carros de la historia hasta el momento, lo sigo jugando en series x después de más de 197 horas, es demasiado divertido de jugar, sumado a que gráficamente es una bestialidad, adicional la ambientación y los paisajes son de fotografía.
    Me saco el sombrero con esta obra maestra que nos dio Playground Games junto con Microsoft.

    I played every Forza Horizon,but this game fails to add something new to the recipe.I is constantly updated,but you can feel on the updates that even the developer feel it asa chore and the creativity pool dryed up at pg.The game looks nice,but it is the same as the previous one with a different location.As a Forza Horizon fan I would expected more from a game like this.

    Soy game for those who don’t know what deodorant is. I advise all Forza players to take a shower and throw away the disc with this garbage. Worst racing game ever.

    Sem dúvidas é o jogo de corrida mais bonito lançado até agora. Além dos gráficos a jogabilidade é muito boa. Os desenvolvedores adicionam eventos e desafios semanais aumentando bastante a vida útil do jogo. O On=line é bem vivo e ativo. Recomendo.

    Mediocre racing game. Got bored pretty fast. DLC are not worth it either. 2nd DLC feels like a more expanded WILDS campaign

    As always, a very good and beautiful Horizon game. It has everything you need from a racing game and more. It's beginner friendly or it can be a real challenge for experienced user. It's an arcade-sim style game, so not a Forza Motrosport game, just keep in mind.

    This was the best experience I've had in a Forza Horizon Franchise game since Forza Horizon 2012

    The post-launch content, the cars, the graphics, the community with its paintings and tunings

    I love this game

    All these low reviews are to do with company practices, or not enough of an upgrade. Mine is just a simple game score. This was my first Forza, I got this with the Series X console. It's floaty and horrible. Most lousy controls imaginable. It couldn't feel less like driving if it tried.

    People go on about arcade racers and kart racers being just that but in reality riding a witches

    People go on about arcade racers and kart racers being just that but in reality riding a witches back in Gensou Skydrift feels more car like than this, as does Mario Kart, Hot Wheels. A lot of kart racers feel closer to driving than the ones trying to be driving games.

    Anyway, quite simply on Game Pass Hot Wheels is better.

    If you played prior Forza's like 3/2 or even Forza Horizon 1, you can notice the DOWNFALL of Forza 5. Its boring, a huge map with NOTGHING to do, tracks are really, really easy to drive and achievements, no one. You feel like a kid receiving a dopamine "boost" buying car after car, the same models with another skin, sometimes! And I'm not talking about the gender identity inside the gameIf you played prior Forza's like 3/2 or even Forza Horizon 1, you can notice the DOWNFALL of Forza 5.

Marxist (gen0cide/Holodomor) ideologies should not be allowed!

    Disastrous!

    While the vehicles and racing game play is great. The game suffers from some eye rolling inclusion and side characters that are very unlike able.
    You are forced to watch cutscenes with ugly characters and cringe dialogue you cannot skip, in a racing game.

    The perfect game for everyone who likes cars. A satisfying driving simulation, houndred of different cars, nice tasks and also a principal quest for those who likes the story of the game. The best car game I ever played!

    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.
