    This is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. The graphs, the reflections, how many game modes it has, how fun it is... This is a must have. 100% recommended.

There are many cars missing from previous instalments (Abarth, Alfa Romeo), the handling (at least on a wheel) feels floaty and unresponsive. There are numerous bugs that frequently ruin the experience, the auction house is now a luck based lag fest. The loading times are infuriating (no such issue with 4 on the same PC). The characters that talk to you are cringey and intrusive. Frequently interrupting you with what feels like 'mandated fun' where I'd prefer to just drive. I loved the previous games and I have had my fun ruined at every turn during this one. Does not deserve the praise it received from the so called 'professional critics'    … Expand

    Let me start by saying that I've been a fan of the Forza series (both Motorsport and Horizon) since the very early days. Each new Horizon game has generally been installed on my Xbox console until the next and serve as a sort of "comfort food" for me - that game that I know and love that I return to again and again, eventually 100%'ing it over time.

    All of that said, I've always considered Horizon games to be 8.5's and 9's on a 10 scale. They're fantastic, but they've never quite been perfect. FH4 was great but I found the changing seasons a little irritating, particularly Winter. FH3 was awesome but Australia seemed a little limited in scope. And so on.

    All of that changes with Forza Horizon 5. This game is truly a 10/10 and Playground Games has absolutely perfected the racing video game. Sure, sim racers will balk at the physics and lack of realism but Horizon has never been about the sim side of the genre. This is pure unadulterated arcade racing fun at its absolute best. You would be seriously hard-pressed to see all that FH5 has to offer without sinking a LOT of time into it.

    A love letter to both racing game fans and the beautiful country of Mexico, this is game of the year 2021 in my opinion.    … Expand

    Very good game but similar to fh4 just on new, nicer map. Graphics in 4k 30 on xsx very good, in 60 fps mode bad draw distance and popping, also anti aliasing far from being good in both modes. Series have main problem with lack of progression as whole game look like endgame not proper one. In the end if you are not bored by previous fh games I can recommand.

    So this game doesn't really innovate from a gameplay perspective but if it ain't broke don't fix it. The gameplays great, map is fantastic great car line up. I'm blown away with the graphics and the game runs soooo smooth. Cannot recommend enough.

    Amazing game, so much fun to race in Mexico, graphically amazing, 4K at 60fps is perfect. Showcase events are as usual very cool. Overall this game is great and I would highly recommend it.

    Forza Horizon 5 is better than FH4 in every way. Best open world racing game ever with the biggest map (Mexico) to date. Launched with more cars than FH4 with even more customization. Graphical details of the environment and cars looks amazing. Audio quality sounds like you are really in the car and cockpit views sounds even better.

FH5 is really fun playing with friends driving around the open world, Street racing, Off-Road racing, Circuit racing, Cross-Country racing, Dirt racing, drag racing, Mini racing activities, Arcade mini games and playing online Forzathon events. Should be the first racing game to win Game of the Year because it's that good. A racing for non-racing fans too!… Expand

Congrats for the masterpiece that you've made. P.s. Ironically, the game studio needs to improve only in one thing (which is also a little bit better than the prequel), the narrative. I'm sure that they will do that better in the next sequel of the game, I'm not worried at all because right now I have to finish an entire game made exactly to excite me.… Expand

The cars sound the same as previous game.... Yeah a 09 plate ford focus RS will sound the same in horizon 4 as horizon 5 considering it's the same bloody car. The game is Forza horizon 5 like 4 but tweeked graphics and gameplay. What more can you want fun driving around Mexico jumping rivers bashing into trees all at 200+mph such fun… Expand

    So it's been 2 days after the early access given by weather buying Premium Add-On for Gamepass or buying FH5 premium Edition. The game graphically is a masterpiece, it really shows an improvement from FH4, the weather, ground, trees, sky etc is very realistic. There's a lot more to do than FH4, and the map is bigger. The real star here is Mexico,    **Review after 20+ hours of gameplay**

The real star here is Mexico, the map is stunning.

    I rated FH4 as 8 but this FH5 is a solid 10, the best racing game right now ever. For those guys comparing Gran Turismo against FH5, remember that the competitor of GT is not FH, is Forza Motorsport. Horizon Series is a mix between simulation and araced (mostly arcade) with a free roam which GT lacks of.

    It's a must play yes or yes, buy it/download it trough Gamepass right now!    … Expand

    The best Forza Horizon yet, best graphics thus far in any racing game. It has a solid frame rate that is locked 30 on quality mode, true 4k and locked 60 performance mode. in my opinion it's the way to play because it looks amazing and plays smooth as butter. All the ratings lower than 8 are fake or they are.......

Of course, there are few changes compared to the previous part, but what was in other parts of Horizon has been improved here.(I speak as someone who has played all the parts for a very long time) Of the minuses, I can note that there are minor texture bugs and not ready servers at the start (server errors, crashes from the network, and so on, I hope this will be fixed soon, but in single player mode, for obvious reasons, it does not interfere with playing)… Expand

    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.
