    I have played all Horizon games and I have the impression that I have been playing the same game all the time since the third part. Sure Horizon 5 looks great, the sound is improved, there is a lot of variety in races, but - I admit with a heavy heart as a fan of the series - after spending a few hours with the latest installment - I'm already bored with it.
    In my opinion, the only thing
    I have played all Horizon games and I have the impression that I have been playing the same game all the time since the third part. Sure Horizon 5 looks great, the sound is improved, there is a lot of variety in races, but - I admit with a heavy heart as a fan of the series - after spending a few hours with the latest installment - I'm already bored with it.
    In my opinion, the only thing that really changes is the location, because the cars have been practically the same for a long time. Sure, some new models and some classics are added, but the vast majority of the garage is still the same. The only thing that changes is that in one part the car can be bought at the showroom, then it is found in the barn, and next as a part of the DLC. This does not change the fact that there are not enough new cars - example? Audi - new models: RS6, RS7, RSQ8 - nothing in the game. New VW GTI/R - none. New GT3 and Turbo models for the 911 - same.
    Personally, I am also bothered by the fact that the collection of cars is somewhat detached from the country in which the game is taking place. Since we're in Mexico, let there be more American cars, a little less known models perhaps, but let's limit the number of, for example, hot hatches that are simply not there. What works for the UK does not work for Mexico.
    The games from the Horizon series are great, but for players who play a lot in the each installment of the series, they do not present any added value - just new views outside the car window and a little changes here and there. In my opinion, Horizon needs more integration of locations and cars. Choosing a country where the automotive culture does not exist does not make sense, because the world is becoming a generic place. In the second installment, the south of Europe matched the climate of supercars, trips between Horizon stops, etc. A lot of local cars appeared in Australia. There was no general idea in the UK anymore, but since the car scene is huge there, everyone could create their own „car world” in the game. And in Mexico - I don't know ... I don't like it. The country in the game is beautiful, but it’s not great for a car game. Japan would be much more appropriate, or a return to the USA (eg California). I will spend many hours in the 5th installment, but it is not the same thrill as in the 1st or 2nd installment.

    I already thought Horizon 4 had a more fun map, but Horizon 5 is getting worse and worse. Now you can't even grind skillpoints and get wheelspins from cheap cars. Arcade is also much less fun than Forzathon Live. Weekly challenges require rather specific cars, which is unnecessarily difficult to do. It shouldn't be so hard to make a new map, add some new cars and maybe outfits andI already thought Horizon 4 had a more fun map, but Horizon 5 is getting worse and worse.

It shouldn't be so hard to make a new map, add some new cars and maybe outfits and otherwise copy-paste Horizon 4, but sadly somebody decided to get "creative" and essentially make the game much worse as a result.

    It'd still be a 7/10 game, but considering they did Horizon 4 before this and it was much better, this is a meagre 2 in comparison.

    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.

    A new installment of Forza "Horizon" flavor with much, too much Mexican flavor (and too many cheap Hollywood movie cliches about Mexico). Good recreation of archaeological zones, this is due to the intervention and support of INHA (National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico).

    The good:
    A new installment of Forza "Horizon" flavor with much, too much Mexican flavor (and too many cheap Hollywood movie cliches about Mexico). Good recreation of archaeological zones, this is due to the intervention and support of INHA (National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico). The recreation of Guanajuato is beautiful, including its underground streets and cobbled tunnels (which are protagonists in real-life World Rally Championships). The Mashup of Mexico is well achieved that we have the Popocatepetl volcano (the great caldera) and to the side the lava and volcanic stone areas of the Michoacán paricutin (with everything and the church covered by lava) and to the west the white sand dunes of Sonora, to finish off with the arch of Los Cabos in Baja California. It's a great reference to promote adventure tourism in Mexico because everything that appears in the game is taken from real life (they just aren't that close). The recreation of the cars is still excellent, all with different views and all ready to be tuned, modified, painted and to put many vinyls and prints on. The discount signs this time are located in the craziest places. The mechanics of giving away cars are great, but poorly executed by being able to clutch with certain cars that made millionaires of those who exploited these flaws.

    The bad:
    Festival of clichés of Mexico, the Mexican and the Mexicanness. Early access made many cheaters come to the game and roam free so that before the official release there were already level 999 players with 00:00:01 lap records and billions of credits. Don Thompson does not return for Radio Eterna / Timeless FM, who had already accompanied us in games 3 and 4 (and to whom we had already become accustomed to his pedantry). There are certain stones and ledges in the desert that look like and when you pass them, your car gets stuck without being able to move forward or backward and it is very annoying because at first you can get around the stone very easily and you do not expect that they will be a death trap. The progression is horrible instead of unlocking areas and planes as you discover the map, you have to necessarily do boring missions and if you are new to the franchise it can work to be taken by the hand to open things, but veterans who do the danger signs or drift zones have to wait forever in tedious activities to be able to unlock those really fun activities. Characters like Driftclub or LaRacer do not return and instead we have a festival of clichéd characters. The hateful jeep glitch, how did they miss that? The hateful glitch of the Marathon and the league for the game to play itself

    Lo Meh!:
    The lack of industrial urban environments and large modernized urban cities such as CDMX, Monterrey, Guadalajara or Puebla make us think that all Mexicans live in colorful houses with water storage tanks on their roofs and that is not the case.

    if you liked any of the horizon games then go for it, but don't expect anything new or groundbreaking, also to add the game has inherited bugs that have been in horizon games since FH2, major graphic hick up's, server connection issues, making the general enjoyment fragmented

    Forza Horizon 5 is a good game. If you played FH3 and/or FH4 doesn't feel a big difference. Graphics are cool, even the Xbox Series S, but there is no evolution in the way of playing. Controls are more complicated than other Forza Horizon, but it's a fun game.

    Melhor Forza pra mim até agora, um dos melhores gráficos da geração até o momento, corridas que dão gosto de jogar, me deu muita vontade de conhecer o México, aproveitei o que achei que deveria, fiz o máximo de conquistas que me foi possível.

    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

    This game is just awsome on so many levels. Playground Games is just finding so many ways to bring attention to detail, almost picture perfect graphics, and crazy feeling of realizam to such a huge emersive world. Super fun game with something different putting a smile on your face around every corner. Can't recommend enough!

    This games is fun and once you've gone through everything, still keeps you engaged enough to keep you trying to get cars for your garage. For those saying it looks like FH4 they must need to get their eyes checked.

    Es el juego de coches definitivo, es un mundo abierto muy bello y con una cantidad de contenido de gran calidad, esta super bien optimizado y es genial la representación de México que se sale del típico cliché de filtros sepia que se suele ver en el cine.

    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.

    Un juegazo que todo gamer debería jugar incluídos los Ponys, que muchos siguen con la cola ardida. Me encanta que todo el mundo pueda ver las maravillas de paisajes que tenemos en México y se animen a visitarnos.

    Simply amazing! Fun and exhilarating to play and beautiful to look at. Forza Horizon 5 manages to improve many aspects of the previous games and adds many new ones of it own.
    I almost gave it a 9/10 because of the VIP pass double credits booster but I didn't doc a point of of the previous Horizon games for that inclusion so I wont here. Just thought I'd mention it

    Awww man since the 5th I've been playing tf out of Forza Horizon 5. I'm glad they changed some things from 4 that makes more sense. I'm not rushing to unlock the next event I'm beating each event at my pace. The amount of cars is amazing and so detailed. There's nothing available on any home consoles that has anything this good this year at the moment.

    If I didn't like the game on the old XBox One, what makes them think I want the premium version on the New XBox? I don't care if it came with it, just keep this **** off of my new property!

    This game is very good, there is a huge variety of vehicles to play with, but not only that, it has gorgeous graphics, and even though it is a racing game, which for the most part is massive, this is not the case here, the seasons make the game always come to new life, with the map always changing.
    The songs and sounds of this game are also a point to highlight, because they are great,

    The songs and sounds of this game are also a point to highlight, because they are great, and many came to my personal playlist.
    Even the way to get the cars is very good, as it is very easy to get them, either through the dealership or through the online auction.
    Summary: this game is GREAT

    Es probablemente el mejor juego de conducción que he probado. Lo he jugado en XCloud mediante Game Pass Ultimate. No he jugado a ningún otro Forza pero te puedo asegurar que este es un juegazo, desde la jugabilidad hasta los coches del videojuego con marcas oficiales.

    Es un juego de nueva generación aunque e puede usar en Xbox One, que te puede dar muchísimas horas de diversión

    Es un juego de nueva generación aunque e puede usar en Xbox One, que te puede dar muchísimas horas de diversión asegurada si te gustan este tipo de juegos.

    Lo que mas me gusta es la libertad de poder ir por México, hacer lo que quieras y cuando quieras para ir progresando en el juego como tu quieras.

    Nada mas que decir, A JUGAR AL VIDEOJUEGO.

    They really nailed it this time. FH5 may be the best racing game ever made. It mixes arguably the most realistic graphics on console with plenty of fun racing action. The Mexico setting in 4K HDR is breathtakingly beautiful. This is a must-play title for Xbox.

    é um fh4 no méxico. mais do mesmo ( não que isso seja ruim) mas é simplesmente uma reciclagem de um jogo antigo para ocupar uma data de lançamento. uma decisão comercial. o jogo tem problemas técnicos e em seu MP - modelagens de veículos discutiveis e física sofrivel.

    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.
