Forza Horizon 5 is the best installment of the series and the benchmark of arcade racing. Mexico impresses with a diverse world - from jungles to volcanoes, and the visuals set new standards. The driving model remains pleasantly arcade-like with customizable difficulty levels. The mass of activities and hundreds of cars guarantee dozens of hours of gameplay. Among the few drawbacks are the limited effect of weather on driving and few real innovations beyond the new map.

Excellent car game, after 70 hours of playing it I can't get enough of it, I've just restarted the 4th and it's just as good, the graphics are brilliant and the cars super beautiful.

Forza Horizon 5 is a must-play for racing enthusiasts and open-world lovers alike. The game brings a breathtakingly detailed rendition of Mexico, complete with varied biomes, from lush jungles to arid deserts. The seasonal changes keep the environment dynamic, adding layers of strategy and immersion to the experience.

Not the best racing game ever made, but one of the best driving games. Though perhaps too arcadey, it's still refreshingly fun.

Bright, varied, beautiful to look at and magnificent to play, Forza Horizon 5 manages the arduous task of surpassing its predecessor. Although there are several moments in which a lot of attention is paid to quantity, bringing out a strong sense of what has already been seen, the new chapter of the series is an overbearing demonstration of strength and the first real roar of this new generation, which has finally come to life.

Not as good as its predecessor in terms of multiplayer content, which made me and my partners stop... otherwise, very clean graphics (except for the texture popping, but that's always one of the problems with today's games).

Although the free-roam multiplayer is a failure from my point of view, the amount of content and the possibility to create it makes me think that this is the game of the year that is worth its price...

I played in the continuation of this car simulator. Not upset, not disappointed. As always, a well-drawn and large open world. A lot of cars. The controls are excellent. But at first glance, there are no major changes in the gameplay. This can be seen from the dashboard when playing in third person. The map and speedometer seem to be copied from the previous part. But this is only at first glance. When you play the game for an hour, you will immediately understand - in front of you is a new game.
