    Although a great game for its genre, I found that it was only fun if I had someone to play with, after 30 hours I have not felt the urge to pick up the game again. This feels like another open world racer that I'll just be forgotten by the time the next 'big' game drops.

    Forza horizon 5 is forza horizon 4 on steroids, better driving feel, better graphics obviously. The only issue I had was some bugs here and there.

    This game is really pretty and really fun. Those who like cars and racing games will love this. I enjoyed my time with it, but after a couple hours I got a bit bored. I've never really been into racing games but I decided to give this a try. I'm not disappointed in the game, it is really high quality, but I personally didn't have that much fun with it after a couple hours of playing.

    Jogo incrível para quem gosta de corrida, porem é uma copia 100% igual do forza horizon 4 porem sem impacto na indústria pois não teve nenhuma novidade, apenas mudaram o mapa pois a microsfot sabe que por causa do gamepass o jogo não irá vender

    Still broken after many months. Lots of cheaters, lap times of 3 seconds, graphical glitches of things not loading in. We know PG didn't put their best foot forward with this one, but dang....

    Difícil mejorar lo inmejorable (Forza 4), pero lo consigue. Menudo apartado gráfico. Un comienzo para el recuerdo, sin darte cuenta llevas jugando 40 horas y aún te queda juego para rato.

    Everything is super. I really like the physics of cars, graphics.
    I took off one ball, for the lack of Russian localization.
    It's time to make an animation of steering wheel rotation.
    And also better delivered dialogues.

    Astounding audio, photorealistic visuals, unparalleled atmosphere | Shoddy online functionality with a lot of bugs, too many keybinds/not enough buttons

The granular synthesis technique used for the car noises give    Astounding audio, photorealistic visuals, unparalleled atmosphere | Shoddy online functionality with a lot of bugs, too many keybinds/not enough buttons

    Forza has always been a technological powerhouse when it comes to unleashing the full power of the respective system it's bound to. But this game takes it to a whole new level. The granular synthesis technique used for the car noises give them so much more life than any Forza game, or any game ever made for that matter, ever could. The use of raytracing for the audio gives the world a whole new level of depth that most people would never even think to program in. The first time I drove through a tunnel in Guanojuato, I think there was a weird audio bug happening, but then I realized that no, this is exactly how this should sound; I've just never heard this level of detail be expressed in a game before because the natural reverb effect of those tunnels is simply far too complex to recreate convincingly without the aid of raytracing.

    HOWEVER, this game does unfortunately suffer from the same online blunders that FH4 suffered from. This includes random disconnects, the game not doing what you told it to (like running an open race when you specifically chose "convoy only"), mild syncing discrepancies that can cause unpredictable driving effects, etc. If it weren't for the lack luster online performance, my only real complaint with the game would be that there are too many button inputs to chose from and not enough buttons to map those to. For example, if you are like me and run manual no clutch, then you are forced to have an input for the following:

    Accelerate (rt)
    Brake (lt)
    Shift up (a)
    Shift down (b)
    Rewind (y)
    Activate (x)
    Map (view)
    Menu (start)
    Radio next (d-pad right)
    Activate Anna (ls)
    Horn (rs)
    Forza Link (d-pad left
    Photo mode (d-pad up)

    At this point, all thats left is d-pad down, which I relegate my telemetry to. Now, where can I put the convertable option? Nowhere, because theres just not enough buttons on an xbox controller. What they need to do is allow xbox players to use a keyboard to bind lesser-used controls to. Why can't I put Anna and Forza link on a keyboard? Seems like an easy implementation that they just refuse to do. This can be done on PC no problem, so it just seems like a weird oversight for a game that is so incredibly well optimized.    … Expand

    There's not a huge scope for mixing things up short of fundamentally changing the type of game. I dunno instead of cars etc maybe add aeroplanes....

    There's already additional modes, from user creatable parks and challenges to a 'BR' so at least certain YouTubers should be happy.

    Definitely a GoTY contender... surely?

    Anyway at least it's not been getting review bombed (yet!) which is a refreshing change... I still note there's a few salties with an axe to grind (and no prior history of rating Xbox games) making fools of themselves with zero pointers. I do wish MC would sort this type of behaviour as it kinda makes a mockery of the site especially when it's so blatant.

    Oh and as for it being false advertisement about its day and date release date on Gamepass... Well that's just an ignorant or disingenuous take, the game isn't released until the 9th unless you BUY the top tier Premium Edition or the Premium Edition Update which gains early access. This is common industry practice, and was never hidden since the release date was announced.    … Expand

    Forza Horizon 5 es el hijo prodigio, pues su madre es Forza Horizon 3 y su padre Forza Horizon 4 (Porque se coje al 3 jaja).
    Forza 5 es lo mejor de todos los Forza Horizon.

    Colaborando para que no le bajen la nota que se merece, además es un buen juego para mi representan muy bien monumentos históricos, ciudades y poblados, gráficamente espectacular y en cuanto historia pues es un juego de carreras no le podemos exigir una historia profunda a un juego de conducción pero lo divertido nadie se lo quita.

    Game has been an absolute blast to play! I will admit I bought the premium version as an impulse buy because that's how bad I wanted to play it. Money was definitely well spent.

    It's really nice to see Xbox finally winning again (and PC wins anyway, because PC gets all Xbox and Playstation games). But Forza Horizon is amazing racing game, one of the best, if not the best. It has DeLorean, what else do you want? Amazing graphics, even better than FH4. Open World makes Forza stand out from all the other racing games. Also, over 530 cars.

Open World makes Forza stand out from all the other racing games. Also, over 530 cars. Xbox is clearly on top again, because PS5 has absolutely no games until like February 2022. Halo Infinite Multiplayer is amazing and it's easily best shooter of 2021, both BF and COD look like jokes compared to it. Can't wait for Halo campaign in December. Good times!… Expand

    Forza Horzion 5 feels just like FH4 and FH3 however that's far from a bad thing. Not only is it different in landscape, the visuals have been improved immensely especially on the Series X and PC. This game deserves its phase and personally gets a 9/10 from me however the reason it gets a 10/10 is because its the best of its type and it places easily as one of the best car games ever made,Forza Horzion 5 feels just like FH4 and FH3 however that's far from a bad thing.

You constantly get new stuff but it seems that this was a cheap move by the developers. Because regarding the major contents of the game, you progress by... um... random chance. I just completed a lot of radar trap challenges and suddenly I was champion of offroad races. I have never finished one of those races but I'm crowned king? Uhm, okay. Thanks, I guess? The story and the points you gather towards completing that story are absolutely meaningless. It does not make any sense at all.… 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.
