    Forza horizon 5 is forza horizon 4 on steroids, better driving feel, better graphics obviously. The only issue I had was some bugs here and there.

    Although a great game for its genre, I found that it was only fun if I had someone to play with, after 30 hours I have not felt the urge to pick up the game again. This feels like another open world racer that I'll just be forgotten by the time the next 'big' game drops.

    This game is really pretty and really fun. Those who like cars and racing games will love this. I enjoyed my time with it, but after a couple hours I got a bit bored. I've never really been into racing games but I decided to give this a try. I'm not disappointed in the game, it is really high quality, but I personally didn't have that much fun with it after a couple hours of playing.

    Jogo incrível para quem gosta de corrida, porem é uma copia 100% igual do forza horizon 4 porem sem impacto na indústria pois não teve nenhuma novidade, apenas mudaram o mapa pois a microsfot sabe que por causa do gamepass o jogo não irá vender

Microsoft have learned nothing from continuing to lick their still sore xbox one wounds. It is a quality game ruined BY GREED. Do not waste your time or money like i did. This review hurts me to type. For i am a long time fan. This will now get shelved and i will part ways with this blasphemous abomination that highjacks a trusted name for a watered down highly CONTROLLED experience. This conglomerate does not deserve the dev talent. This franchise is dead to me for you have finally broken my trust. I do not give games that do not respect my time and money praise.    … Expand

    worse than its predecessors, reading content missing from the game that was already in previous titles and selling it as "new" content
    had a good foundation but a new game wasn't really necessary could've just updated the old one

    Still broken after many months. Lots of cheaters, lap times of 3 seconds, graphical glitches of things not loading in. We know PG didn't put their best foot forward with this one, but dang....

    Difícil mejorar lo inmejorable (Forza 4), pero lo consigue. Menudo apartado gráfico. Un comienzo para el recuerdo, sin darte cuenta llevas jugando 40 horas y aún te queda juego para rato.

    Everything is super. I really like the physics of cars, graphics.
    I took off one ball, for the lack of Russian localization.
    It's time to make an animation of steering wheel rotation.
    And also better delivered dialogues.

    Astounding audio, photorealistic visuals, unparalleled atmosphere | Shoddy online functionality with a lot of bugs, too many keybinds/not enough buttons

    Forza has always been a technological powerhouse when it comes to unleashing the full power of the respective system it's bound to. But this game takes it to a whole new level. The granular synthesis technique used for the car noises give them so much more life than any Forza game, or any game ever made for that matter, ever could. The use of raytracing for the audio gives the world a whole new level of depth that most people would never even think to program in. The first time I drove through a tunnel in Guanojuato, I think there was a weird audio bug happening, but then I realized that no, this is exactly how this should sound; I've just never heard this level of detail be expressed in a game before because the natural reverb effect of those tunnels is simply far too complex to recreate convincingly without the aid of raytracing.

    HOWEVER, this game does unfortunately suffer from the same online blunders that FH4 suffered from. This includes random disconnects, the game not doing what you told it to (like running an open race when you specifically chose "convoy only"), mild syncing discrepancies that can cause unpredictable driving effects, etc. If it weren't for the lack luster online performance, my only real complaint with the game would be that there are too many button inputs to chose from and not enough buttons to map those to. For example, if you are like me and run manual no clutch, then you are forced to have an input for the following:

    Accelerate (rt)
    Brake (lt)
    Shift up (a)
    Shift down (b)
    Rewind (y)
    Activate (x)
    Map (view)
    Menu (start)
    Radio next (d-pad right)
    Activate Anna (ls)
    Horn (rs)
    Forza Link (d-pad left
    Photo mode (d-pad up)

    At this point, all thats left is d-pad down, which I relegate my telemetry to. Now, where can I put the convertable option? Nowhere, because theres just not enough buttons on an xbox controller. What they need to do is allow xbox players to use a keyboard to bind lesser-used controls to. Why can't I put Anna and Forza link on a keyboard? Seems like an easy implementation that they just refuse to do. This can be done on PC no problem, so it just seems like a weird oversight for a game that is so incredibly well optimized.    … Expand

    They did so many things right with this game! They did alot of improvement to the old game. That should every new game that comes out. Be like the old, just better. Sad that so many AAA games lost that. There are still some things that should be worked on, like connection problems or lack of visual customization for your car, but they did add a ton allready in comparison to the old one so,They did so many things right with this game!

Forza horizon 5 es un buen juego solamente que es un poco repetitivo pero eso se aregla juegando multijugador eso es lo que mas me divierte de este juego bueno las carresras son muy divertidas pero con el tiempo se vuelven aburridas este 8 fue por los bugs no tiene muchos pero igualmente arruina muy poco la experiencia de juego anque si me gusto que hicieran un hot fix tan rapido. Algo que si no me gusto fue que no puedas mandarle un regalo a un amigo espero que en un futuro lo implementen.

    While I am no big car guy or a racing fan in generally the arcade like way this game plays had me definitely hooked. While more serious racers bog down in tiny details and settings to get the most from your car. Here it's all about pick a flashy fast car and go have fun.

    It constantly rewards to with xp for everything and anything from knocking over fences to hitting a ridiculous jump.

    It is more real than real life.(graphics) Basic cars are good, i dont want to race with super cars. Sometimes i take a Clio and just drift around. Drifting and racing is both fun. Free roam is nice but there isnt any traffic.

    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.
