    Game of the year 2021. The best racing franchise ever gets another entry which pushes the boundaries even further. Unmatched in graphical fidelity and most importantly - fun. Buy it or get it on game pass, you won't regret it.

    Playground Games non smette di stupire. Gioco graficamente impressionante, forse il titolo più bello visivamente dell'anno! Riprende la formula vincente di Forza Horizon 4 con una piacevole rinfrescata a livello tecnico. Gioco molto divertente, adatto a tutti anche a chi solitamente non piacciono i giochi di corsa.

    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.

    As usual, they took a great game (FH4) and made it better. They keep getting better and making improvements each new addition.

    Best racing game probably ever made. Such an improvement over 4. Most photo realistic graphic I’ve ever seen. Races are engaging and fun. The characters and story, though short, are really fun. The game makes you feel rewarded whatever you do. Online creativity and games are unmatched in a car game. GOTY

The games flow will get a little old pretty quickly, but that's okay! There's lots to do so if you find a niche you love, you'll be okay. The really frustrating part is that one of the things intended to keep the game fresh - the Festival Playlist - often features broken challenges that don't unlock properly. This means a lot of time is wasted repeating something multiple times trying to get the rewards you've earned.

    Worse yet, some challenges appear so bugged you simply may not be able to complete them, wasting more time. And this is outside of the day to day bugs that pop up all the time - areas loading with no textures, LOOONG "Loading" screens, freezing or crashing on start up, etc.

    If the bugs are fixed and challenges start providing rewards properly, it'll be more fun and I'd raise my rating. Until then, it's as much a frustrating waste of time as it is a fun racing game, and that's a bummer.

    If a racing game can engage me, someone who doesn't give two-****s about cars and just plays rpgs, adventure games and strategy games, then you know the game is good. FH5 is like Mario Odyssey - it's a driving game that appeals to everyone, even non-driver fans just as Mario appeals to everyone, even if they don't typically play platformers. It's a very high quality and well-designed game.

    Such a beautiful game! Already played 70+ h. and absolutely satisfied with it (December 4, 2021)

    After a long time, I can tell that there is some problems with this game. After first "wow" experience you can notice that game really have some minuses. First of all - graphics and optimization. I play on the PC and on the High preset, with SSD M.2 (I bought it not only for Forza, but this

    After a long time, I can tell that there is some problems with this game. After first "wow" experience you can notice that game really have some minuses.
    First of all - graphics and optimization. I play on the PC and on the High preset, with SSD M.2 (I bought it not only for Forza, but this game was a main reason to bought it) you can see that low-pol. 2D trees loading in about 20-30 m. forward you. Also, when you speeding up to around ~300 km/h, textures starts to blink and you get a full stop for a 2-5 seconds. Comparing that game with previous title, FH4 do not have that problems at all. Maybe because of light or something else, but picture in Forza Horizon 4 looks better and of course have better performance.
    Secondary - why are you almost killed photo mode? Why when I want to get a nice shot, weather and time are changing? I can explain - in all previous titles when you want to shot something time in that mode time just pause, but it continue when you exit it. What happened in the game that you decided to enter this feature in the photo mode once in the update?
    Game is not like FH3, which had incredible feel of Australia and not like FH4, which had very good performance. This is not an awful game, but I feel that Playground games can make it better. (April 5, 2022)

    Following over 20 hours of play I am happy to say the entertainment factor is still there. Great visuals. No framerate drop. Still not completed everything offline and loads of cars to collect. Cannot put the controller down which passes my 15 minute play test.

    The Game feels like a **** cashgrab made to fund the Next **** cashgrab,horrible at best,infuriating at worst ,all cars feel the same ,but x car has a little bit more grip than y car or has more power.
    It has no story ,main Focus is the horrible online plagued with 9 year olds that get mad if they don't win or get kicked out of a session because of repeated ramming and insulting.It always

    Do NOT waste your money ,don't play this Game.

    Jogo sensacional
    A atenção aos detalhes, gráficos insanos, uma variedade imensa de modos.
    E o que mais me chamou atenção é a qualidade sonora, não sei qual a bruxaria que fizeram mas o áudio está incrível

    it looks great, sounds great and plays great but lets be honest... its forza horizon 4.5... there really isnt much new to be excited about, its still an amazing playground for car enthusiasts and its fun, its very good but i just dont see how its a 9 or 10 when its sooo similar to 4, something needs to change for horizon 6 to spice things up a little because im already not too excitedit looks great, sounds great and plays great but lets be honest... its forza horizon 4.5... there really isnt much new to be excited about, its still an amazing playground for car enthusiasts and its fun, its very good but i just dont see how its a 9 or 10 when its sooo similar to 4, something needs to change for horizon 6 to spice things up a little because im already not too excited about the prospect of another one... played 7 or 8 hours of horizon 5 and i feel very deeply like ive been here and done this many times before.

    certainly not a bad game, but there is no way its a masterpiece for me.

    WOW... De verdad casi que sin palabras, este Forza es sin duda una de los juegos de carreras más espectaculares que jamás he jugado en la vida.

    Locación 10/10
    Gráficos 10/10
    Escala de los mapas 10/10
    Pero nización 10/10
    Jugabilidad 10/10

    De verdad es imposible encontrarle un defecto a este juego, simplemente no se puede.

    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.
