Forza Horizon 5 is the best Forza yet and, not only that, but it also makes a strong case for being the best racing game period. A joyous combo of arcade racing and simulation-level depth, all wrapped up in a beautiful bow thanks to its diverse, expansive Mexico setting, this is an unmissable iteration in what is arguably gaming’s most consistently fantastic series.
Forza Horizon 5 is probably the best arcade racing game of recent times, and one of the most prominent releases from this year. Even if cars is not your thing, there is plenty to love in this new Microsoft exclusive.
Nothing revolutionary in this Forza Horizon 5 but what a pleasure and what generosity. The vistas and ambiance of this Playground Games experience are incredible and provide perfect moments whether for real pilots or less comfortable players, as the game is very accessible…The activities are varied, the landscapes sublime and the sensations at the rendezvous at the wheel of the various vehicles. A delight!
Forza Horizon 5 delivers everything that made the last game enjoyable on a map that’s more fun to drive with a lot more visual diversity. While the changes and additions are largely incremental—especially when it comes to the core game experience—what’s here is good enough to warrant a recommendation for fans of the series or racing enthusiasts who’ve been meaning to try it out.
It's a good game. Not great, just good. As someone who is really into racing games and cars it's got its up and its down. The ups are that it is definitely a good experience for the first 10 hours I'd say. Plenty to do, exploring, racing, you name it.
The problem comes afterwards. Progression is painfully easy and is almost as if the game wants you to be rich quick just to keep you playing. After the first week of release, I already had my first $100m in game currency banked and almost every car with duplicates for exotic upgrades. The game can become boring quickly for those who spend many hours in the first days of them having the game and really the only reason anyone comes back is when the Festival Playlist updates weekly.
The map is the biggest of all the entries into the series however it's also the map with the least atmosphere. The "major city" if you can even call it that, has almost no life to it and just feels like another part of the map which is also a disappointment.
The game feels like a copy and paste of Forza Horizon 3 but with some more features which on paper sounds like a very good formula however it is slightly underwhelming.
Overall, I would say this game is still a good game however if you have played some of the more recent entries (3 or 4) you are not missing out on too much with 5.

Totaler Schrott. Allenfalls für Kinder und Jugendliche geeignet. Das Fahrgefühl ist total schwammig und man hat kein Feedback was die Bodenhaftung angeht. Am schlimmsten ist das gequatsche und dieser Festival Mist.
