    After playing this game for about 4 months, while the presentation, gameplay, and controls are great, I am disappointed by the sheer lack of content, poor progression system, poor post launch support from Microsoft and Playground games, and the egregious microtransactions and paid DLC for certain cars.

The lack of content is clearly highlighted by the selection of cars that get rewarded to players, and these cars mostly consist of ones that are either already sold in the auto show, or taken out of the game after Horizon 4 and rebadged as “new” or “valueable” cars. On top of this, nearly 200 of the cars in Horizon 5 are locked behind paid DLC. And before anyone comes up with the “it’s on Game Pass” argument, you have to consider how progression works in the game. Right from the start, you are practically handed supercars with no challenge or progression in mind. In previous games, you had to work hard to earn these cars, and when you finally earned them, it felt far more rewarding. The credit system has gotten so hyperinflated that a million credits means practically nothing anymore.

    The music selection also sucks and pales in comparison to the earlier games. Spotify integration would have been nice.    … Expand

    An ordinary arcade in nice graphics. If it was possible to set at least a little more realistic racing, then he should play this game. Even the sounds of individual cars are not authentic, which is a great pity.

The mission system we know has been added to the game. It is very comfortable and fun to play with your friends with cooperation. Whether you enter the multiplayer game modes individually or with your friends, you will find very good game modes according to your own taste. The open world is very wide and each corner of the map gives you the feeling of being in a different geography. Overall a smooth and amazing experience. The best open world racing game ever.… Expand

    The Forza horizon is a diamond. Its graphics are from another planet. The detail that the game has, really does not exist. The game is awesome in all respects. The game map for me is the best map in the series. Huge with a lot of content. I have played items for 20 hours and I have not had enough. It is a game that I will play for months and several years.

Talking about why I hate Forza Horizon 5 and it's the absolute worst of the entire series. For everyone here, I want to say I'm gonna be speaking my mouth and opinion so please, respect it or move on. Metacritic better not take down my review for spitting facts. So it all started when I played Forza Horizon 1 once, I really liked it and said damn this is a really good car simulator. Then I played 2, I saw the improvement but I didn't have the same experience as I played 1. Then I remember my friend told me to come over to his house to play 3, I asked if they changed things up. He said not really so I already was going into it with low expectations. Then once I played it, it felt so different and I actually liked it. Maturing is realizing the game is actually mid and not that good, it took me a while to grasp that truth. Then my buddy told me to come over to his house, he said he got this new game he was so hyped so I pulled up. I sat down then I saw Forza Horizon 4, I said goddamn! Then he pulled up the game I honestly didn't see any changes at all then I played the game, it was the worst Forza game by far. It was really boring, the driving was a slog and the delusion 3 gave me was all gone. I hated playing the game, it actually left me sleeping at my buddy's house to the point he woke me up all I heard was the garbage car engines. I got myself up and drove myself home wondering wow that was a waste of time. Then once that, I went to school the next day and he was talking about grinding in Forza Horizon 4. I questioned my buddy how he even liked the game, it was boring as **** He said I didn't give it a fair chance so I said I'll come after school to replay it. Then I replayed it after school going to his house, it was worse and it was literally garbage. Now since my life story is complete, let's talk about Forza Horizon 5 and why I gave it a zero. So now I got two of my buddies into Forza. My buddy who told me to pull up to his house and my other buddy from 8th grade. So every time I would have a conversation about anything, I swear these mfs would talk about Forza Horizon 5 is going to Tokyo. I told them that won't happen because they need to have open land to drive around not tiny alleyways in Tokyo. These idiots didn't listen to me and believed it was Tokyo. Then one day I saw on Twitter (btw follow me @GhostBigfoot) that Forza Horizon 5 is going to Mexico. I said that is actually a good idea and sent it over to my buddies. They broke down and Forza 4 Buddy told me I sent bull****, it will not be in Mexico it will be Tokyo. Then he got racist saying Mexico is just a desert and the only people who are gonna play it are Mexican truck drivers. I told his ass to stfu, that's mad disrespectful but he kept ongoing. I told him to accept it will be in Mexico because it won't be in Tokyo (they should have said Japan not Tokyo but they don't know geography only aesthetic from Anime I guess). So the hype goes on and they finally reveal the game Forza Horizon 5 and it's gonna be in Mexico. Then all of a sudden the whole thing switched, these buddies told me I'm not even into cars so I shouldn't give a **** about Forza. I told them I played 1-4. Then they said I don't have an Xbox and PC getting pissed at me because I proved their asses wrong. First of all, I actually have a goddamn PC but these idiots can't tell because I'm a "PlayStation fanboy." So **** stupid, I proved these buddies wrong, and all of a sudden I was the wrong one. From that day forward I told myself I would send whatever Forza Horizon 5 their way so they can actually be informed of the game instead of getting mad at me over the location of the goddamn map. After seeing the trailer they hoped on the bandwagon of the game and the Forza 4 buddy said he was gonna pay a $100 deluxe edition with 30+ cars allowing 8th-grade buddy to play the game. I said that is the most stupidest thing I heard, just get **** game pass to play this game as it'll be easier as one plays on PC than the other on Xbox. This Forza 4 idiot didn't listen and put that dumbass preorder up then made fun of me because I wanted God for War Ragnarok. This mf has the audacity to tell me God fo Wart Ragnarok is not worth it but Forza 5 is worth $100 because it includes 30 cars you can earn in the game by grinding plus you can get on game pass for $1 3 months. So Forza Horizon 5 launches, now my 8th-grade buddy can't play the game in the bought on PC and he's playing the game saying it's worth it. Then I said, you know what, I'm pulling up to play this game that has caused a goddamn fuse for the past 6 months and is better than God of War Ragnarok as he claims. So I play this piece of **** game, it's a copy and paste replication of the past 3 games then my buddy told me it's because I'm not into cars so I can't say **** I played the game for almost 3 hours then knew this was **** I walked out and my buddy stops being my friend after this goodman. incident. 0/10… Expand

    I love it, same as Forza Horizon 4. This one is even more noob oriented, but it's not exactly bad thing. One thing that kind of annoyed where the Spanish words randomly inserted into the dialogues. Because of it I felt like it was Dora the Explorer, not racing game.

And Ill be in for 6 when it inevitably comes out. I just would like for them to take some risks and change up the formula a bit. Maybe some sense of progression would be nice.

    All those 0-rating scores are just irrelevant and made probably by some funboys.
    What about gameplay?
    Man, I am not a huge racing games fan, but this game got me sucked in since a first minute. The world is huge and varied, simply free ride gives tons of fun. In week first, there are some online-gaming issues, about to be patched.

    Game is working fine, playing nice even in 30fps quality mode, car graphics are photo-realistic and if somebody will make a new racing game in 10-15 years, it is just no way for it to be much better in termes of a car graphics.
    Other graphics are just fine, with very good looking environmental textures in 4k. Buildings are detailed, not just a plin texture as in other racing games. By playing it, making photos many times it is hard to judge if it is a real photo or just a game shot.
    I am very suprised with this game. If you know what to expect - a great amount of arcade fun (not a racing simulator) with cars jumping from above, hyper-cars in the middle of a jungle and that kind of stuff, you will be just having a great time.

It’s going to be hard for other arcade racing games to top what Forza Horizon has established. There are a large amount of race types spanning across a large landscape of different environments. The new setting in Mexico is fantastic, and they made the terrain vary tremendously over previous entries, which makes it more exciting to explore. The formula is otherwise the same - explore the world, go to races, complete random tasks, find the collectibles. It’s as connected as the other games, so your progress is constantly compared to others on your friends list which makes it feel a bit more engaging. There is a lot of content to experience in this game, but with each passing game, I’m finding myself stopping sooner and sooner. Doesn’t mean the game is bad, because it still truly feels like that celebration of cars that you experienced in the other games. The graphics of the terrain are stunning. They really nailed the environments, and it really does a wonderful job of making you take your eyes off the road. The car models on the vehicles are also exceptional, but after the latest Gran Turismo, they do feel a bit dated. The sound design is great like always in these games.

    I don’t want to nitpick stupid things about the game, because it does not affect my score in any way. But the implementation of “wokeness” into this game is very overt. You have to pick your pronouns, you can choose if you have any prosthetic limbs, you can choose different face masks that you can unlock - but you can’t change facial hair. Again, it’s not a big deal at all, but it’s just stupid.

    Overall, it’s an awesome game that anyone who likes cars is guaranteed to enjoy. It’s a fun celebration of cars.    … Expand

    While Forza Horizon 5 sticks mostly to their last games formula it does improve in aspects such as car customisation, expeditions and crazy weather like sandstorms along with some small tweaks here and there.

    Forza Horizon 5 chose a fantastic theme for their new map that being Mexico and have done wonders in making it feel so authentic and beautiful it’s truly a gorgeous looking world. Playground included iconic locations from all over Mexico itself, different biomes and weather events all while making it feel natural and not just different places stapled together.

    The story of the game is nothing to write home about and was to be expected as playground has always focused more on the core gameplay and that’s no exactly a bad thing as I have yet to play a racing game that has a remotely good story, I have always looked past that in racing games because when playing a racer the story of the game is not what I’m looking for.

    I played Forza Horizon 5 on the Xbox Series X in performance mode and it ran outstandingly well and the only problem was disconnecting from their servers from time to time and I can only assume this was due to the vast amount of people playing during launch, only time will tell.    … Expand
