Forza Horizon 5 Reviews
FH5 is an easy recommendation as part of a paid Xbox Game Pass subscription, and it's a great excuse to flex your newest gaming hardware purchase. But if you're already happy with Forza Horizon 4 or were bored by that one, take your sweet time sitting behind this game's wheel.
Forza Horizon 5 is undoubtedly a visual showcase and technical benchmark for PC and Xbox Series X owners.
Forza Horizon 5 is a visual spectacle and a masterpiece, providing plenty to do and tons of fun to be had around ever corner.
Forza Horizon 5 is ultimately a game in the franchise that continues to evolve in a more and more enjoyable direction, even if there is a core to the game that feels very familiar.
It may well be more of the same, but Mexico beckons, ravishing the eye and devouring up the miles.
When it comes to past Forza Horizon games, I tend to bounce off them rather quickly. But I’ve been sticking around with this one. Yes, it is just that darn pretty. Its beauty encourages me to spend a longer time in Mexico, during which I eventually become a better Forza racer (even if I feel like the game could be doing more to help me learn).
Forza Horizon 5 may not reinvent the wheel, but it sure does make balding tires as compelling and satisfying as ever.
Not the best racing game ever made, but a contender for best driving game. While perhaps overly familiar, everything here is very slick, refreshingly wholesome and easy-going.
Whether you're a racing rookie or a seasoned gearhead, Playground Games' latest open world zoomer is a jaw-dropping, thrill-a-minute riot
Forza Horizon 5 [is] the first killer, can’t-miss game for the current generation Xbox Series X and S consoles as well as Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription service. It’s a game that I think anyone can immediately find appealing.
Forza Horizon 5 doubles down on the series' winning formula to give players another hit racing game superpowered by next-gen tech.
It can’t match Forza Horizon 4 in terms of innovations, but Forza Horizon 5 introduces a more varied open-world structure in one of the most visually stunning experiences of this new console generation — perhaps ever.
A lot of Forza Horizon 5 feels similar to Forza Horizon 4 in a way previous Horizon games haven't felt with their prequels, but Adventures bring unique storytelling and slight edutainment to the Horizon formula and if more Horizon's are in the future, particularly ones not in Europe and America, it's not a bad foundation to build on. Driving feels as good as it ever has and Playground Games absolutely succeeded in interpreting the beauty of Mexico. The seasonal model returns and it does a better job of incentivizing people to group up, but it's still not quite enough to entice people to do activities like Forza Arcade.
Playground's boisterous racer heads to Mexico... and is as consistent as ever
Take a supercar for a beach challenge or drive into the Mexican jungle in this racing game that's exactly as fun as its last version
Forza Horizon 5 is the best game in the series and the best Xbox Series X/S game to date. Its flawless racing and wealth of activities are backed up by a gorgeous setting and a fantastic new progression system which encourages players to focus on the features they enjoy most. Utterly essential.
Forza Horizon 5 is the culmination of all of Playground Games' efforts to perfect its craft, and the result is the best open-world racing game you can play. It combines the most beloved parts of Forza Horizon 3 and 4 into one ultimate racer.
Forza Horizon 5 is a further development of everything we loved about part four. The races are crazier, the cars more and the exploration more dynamic than ever before. Some elements are on repeat, but still manage to feel fresh thanks to the change of scenery. An adrenaline-filled experience no one should miss, simply.

Forza Horizon 5 is the monster of car racing that we have been waiting for. Fun, exotic, beautiful to fart the mirettes, Playground Games has made a monumental taf to serve us a real video game pearl. Ultra generous, it also shines by the diversity of what it offers and already offers hundreds of hours of content.
