    F1 22 takes another step forward and surpasses everything we saw in the previous game, better graphics level and new modes to improve the experience. Codemasters and EA Sports have put their best into this game. I can say that F1 22 is one of the most outstanding racing games that have been released this year.

    For Formula One fans, it’s easier than ever to recommend F1 22. Significant changes have been made here to not only keep the game up to date, but also more immersive, more expansive and more fun. The only real disappointment is F1 Life, which feels a like a good idea in principle but very poorly executed. And of course, the lack of a story mode will be a let-down to some, too. Ultimately, F1 22 takes a couple of steps forward and couple back, but where it matters – in its gameplay and stellar career mode – it’s still very much at the front of the pack.

    Despite poorly thought-out innovations, Codemaster's F1 series continues to offer a great overall racing game package.

    F1 2022 is a simulator with a straight objective. Clearly, Codemasters decided to bet on what it does best and abandon some interesting features for the casual player, in exchange for possibilities and seriousness whose appeal to enthusiasts makes the game a must-have Formula 1 fans.

    With prettier graphics and notably improved physics, F1 22 impresses right out of the gate. Last year's enjoyable story mode is unfortunately gone, and instead we get to play F1 star with luxury watches and clumsy supercars. What a downgrade. Fortunately, the presentation, the career mode and not least the driving experience are better than ever.

    The F1 series is starting to look more and more like FIFA. Bright colours, hip music and the first contours of what could become F1UT. This year I'm still meeting Codemasters (Codematsers!), but they have to counteract that EA nonsense. Just ask Lewis Hamilton how quickly things can go differently, in F1...

    F1 22 is technically stunning, and that, combined with the chance to drive this year’s cars on this year’s tracks, should make it irresistible to Formula One fans. As long as they manage to ignore the egregious F1 Life.

    The addition of supercars and F1 Life are needless features, but the on-track action is as good as it has ever been.

    Good: It’s F1, always a fun way to learn the circuits and enjoy the broadcast more as a result.

    Bad: Graphics are very last generation,

    This game is pure rubbish.

    After patch 1.07, In my team mode, after 5 races, I have encountered ZERO Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car even there were incidents on the track (with settings of INCREASED safety car frequency).

    Also the AI have been much more overpowered in overall speed and seems like they did not suffer any pace loss from tire degradation at all.

    And sometimes in the race, when I press the radio button, it didn't have any response and need to restart the game to resolve it.

    F1 22 is a piece of horrible and unbalanced junk, surely the worst game I have ever brought in my life.

    I preordered it and I feel it's a waste of money. I even had more fun with all f1 2017-f1 2021 on the end of their life cycle then I've everI preordered it and I feel it's a waste of money. I even had more fun with all f1 2017-f1 2021 on the end of their life cycle then I've ever had with F1 22.

    -Tracks like Spa and Monza are still not updated. It js very inaccurate. -There are not ground breaking bew things in the game. There are super cars what almost nobody wanted, there's F1 life what is some crap stuff that doesn't help the game at all ans EA music what to my opinion is, to it politely, completely bad, I changed the music to theme. Just to name a few.
    -Pysics. The car is just unrealistic uncontrollable. You are able to do donuts out of stand still in 7th gear. In real life you aren't even able to drive away in 7th gear, let stand making that much revs to do donuts. Also the car is spinning every single time you hit the throttle or you should be in a ultra high unrealistic gear for the speed your going. The standing starts are impossible to do because the AI has an extraterrestrial amount of grip.
    -AI higher top speeds.
    -Codemasters/EA being late to fix things
    -A lot of people asking for classic cars but getting super cars
    -small to no changes to career mode.
    -Red Bull colour inaccurate and no mid season car updates.
    -bad force feedback

    Positive
    -I love they added manual starts

    EA loves to spread its disease of microtransactions. So many bugs and issues with the game itself . What the heck happened with QA
