    It is Forza Horizon 4 but with bigger map and few more cars - surprise surprise. Still has the same crap and broken AI that ruins most of the races on PRO/Unbeaten difficulty. Definitely an easy cash grab with a ton of new inexperienced in Forza games players from game pass.

    This is the best racing game of all time. They took all the best parts of the horizon formula and streamlined it into an amazing gameplay loop.
    Even if you dont like racing, this game is just a blast to play. If you have xbox or pc, try it on gamepass. You will not regret it.

    Forza Horizon 5 is a ton of fun and looks incredible! I love the setting and the amount of customisable cars in the game is just crazy. Definetly worth the full price or playing it via Game Pass!

    The games progression is way too fast which makes the fun part of the game too short, there also is a lot of change in quality of the car models some of them are good some are reused models from FM5 (Silvia S15 for example). They also try to expand the games lifespan by missing out on cars from fh4 or fh3 and later adding them back in with the same model and everything just to have content.

    As a huge Forza fan I was looking forward to this, but I have to admit I came away rather disappointed.

    A few of my primary gripes off the top of my head are - Why is the wait time for other players so long in PVP matches? If players can't load faster than a super Nintendo then don't make the other players suffer through constant 3 minute waits, kick them out!

    Why is the wait time for other players so long in PVP matches? If players can't load faster than a super Nintendo then don't make the other players suffer through constant 3 minute waits, kick them out!

    Uneven PVP team matches with no balancing. You often see teams of 2 vs teams of 5 or more. How is this even possible?

    There is no way to test drive cars before you buy them. Hell, even the crew had this! Give us a test drive option before we lay out 3 million bucks....which we dedperately need because:

    The balance is way out of whack. Any car that's remotely decent is hugely overpriced, and there's very few decent/competitive cars out there.

    I'm not a big fan of the progression either, constant wheel spins and free cars trivialises buying new cars and earning them yourself. And when you have an X rated car in the first minute it makes it hard to go back to the slow mo cars. If this isn't in the Forza spirit, it would be great to see it in another game...eg where you start out racing in a civic rental and SLOWLY save up and progress up the ladder to better and better cars.    … Expand

    Not sure what everyone else is smoking. Yeah the game looks amazing, but the cringe is too strong for me. Welcome to circle-jerk-2021! Every single thing you do gets points and cars thrown at you. Hit a tree, boom! That's 500 bips! I guess if you're a 16year old who craves likes on every social media post you'll love this.

One of the things that has come over from Forza 4 is the terrible AI, which is worse than ever. You can be in the same car as an AI driver, flat out on straight and they will fly past you like a rocket somehow, they also seem to be able to stick to literally any surface like glue, whether it's the road, sand or mud. AI drivers don't slip or slide, whilst every car i've driven, not only feels almost identical to drive, they also feel like i'm constantly trying to drive on ice. Luckily this cost me nothing on gamepass so i can delete it and feel ok about it. I feel bad for anyone who payed for it though.… Expand

This wheel works perfectly in FH4 and other racing games. this exact wheel, the one mounted to my wheel stand.) There are workarounds that either do not work or do not restore full functionality (no force feedback for example) Other workarounds involve downloading third party software, and those do not work all the time either. This issue is not limited to Logitech wheels, it also happens on Thrustmaster and Fanatec wheels. All these are listed as supported in the games FAQs. All my drivers are updated, as requested by the game devs, and the Logitech software is up to date as well. I waited till the official release day to leave a review, hoping that the devs would at least give in update on a fix, but there has been none. Not everyone will have these, or the other game-breaking issues. maybe you'll be lucky, maybe you won't> I can't recommend you spend your money on the game until the devs fix it. Once they fix everything it'll be about an 8.5, if they fix it.… Expand

Nothing complicated, you just don't care about people. And most importantly, the game is teeming with cheaters, no one bans them and does not make a working anti-cheat. Only private creators you ban.
    The graphics even on the series x are good only in quality mode, but why only 30 fps? In high-speed mode, the picture is very bad, half of the effects, blurring, small objects and shadows are missing, the drawing is so bad that bushes loom right a few meters from the car. Simply put, in the 60 fps mode, even in the last part of fh 4, the graphics looked much better on this console. Physics was ruined. The car feels like a toy and rides even in offroad as if stuck to the ground. In the new physics, I liked only braking, now it's harder to leave the car and that's cool.
    Not enough content. For example, the tracks, there are only about 80 tracks on such a huge map, seriously? There is practically nothing new compared to the previous parts, and the most annoying thing is that nothing will appear except new cars, at least practice shows so. This game is in style: "Entertain yourself, we don't care about you."
    The only thing I can praise the developers for is the map, it is very interesting and well thought out, it is a pleasure to drive on it. Well, the sounds, yes, they worked on them. The graphics have been noticeably tightened, but the optimization is terrible, especially on consoles. But the recipe for a good game is not only in a good map, sounds and graphics (and then the graphics are good only on a top PC).
    You can list the disadvantages of the game for a long time, there are a lot of them. I played horizon 2 with time and was a fan of the series, but now it's a complete disappointment. I was hoping that you would improve in this part, but it didn't happen. The game has rolled into the trash. Developers are only busy counting money and it's terrible. I didn't want to give the game 0 points, but I'm very offended. That's when you start fixing the game, then I will gradually correct my score to a higher one. In the meantime, I do not advise anyone to buy this game, or rather consumer goods    … Expand

    The game crashes a lot. This is not the way AAA game should be created. Also, this is simply a re-skin of Forza Horizon 4 so if you have it don't purchase this crap ( At least until they fix it )

    Release after release the Forza Horizon series manages to improve on what made the previous game so good. It's no real suprise to say in this review (even before it was released) it's the best one yet.

    You can tell so much effort has been put into this game, the graphics are absolutely top tier (I play in graphics mode over performance simply because of how good the game looks!)

    The progression system (with how the 'story' unlocks) has been changed up and I won't say it's the absolute best because in their own way they've always been creative however they haven't simply copy and pasted from the previous games. With some of the more fun activites such as the major races in street, road and dirt unlocked behind this progression, you're wanting to push on & level up to get a chance to race on these routes (which are some of the longest on the entire Forza Horizon series!)

    A massive selection of cars & races was to be expected for a Forza game and they've not let us down.

    Co-op races has been added as a kind of hub matchmaking area? Where you can essentially matchmake some coop races which isn't a new feature however has its own dedicated area on the map.

    Talking about map, it's huge, it looks amazing all over, multiple environments which affect how the car drives.

    10/10, I can't think of anything I can add that'll improve the current game (I've not even experienced any bugs at a play time of around 30 hours.)

    A solid asset to the Xbox console and FREE with gamepass. A perfect driving game.

Terrible online, on which, in principle, the whole game is tied, disconnects and few players in sessions who, moreover, disappear. Bugs in Bouncer mode. Most of the cars migrated from FH2 / 3 with terrible low-poly bottoms of pixel quality, SUVs, even new products in FH5, have horribly drawn car bottoms, the wheels turn by an unknown mechanism, the suspension is generally wooden and made for show, the wheels spin separately from the entire suspension, that's what I say as a certified auto mechanic who understands how it works, let's take the SnowRunner as a comparison, there is an amazing drawing of the suspension and its work.
