F1 2021 Reviews
Much of F1 2021 builds on the high-class foundation from previous games that make the series one of the best racing games out there, but new additions, especially Braking Point, are both great pieces of content on their own and optimistic foundational pieces for the future.
While Codemasters seems to have added a good amount of content to F1 2021, it still feels like the same experience at its core.
F1 2021 embraces next-gen unlocking performances and introducing themes consoles had never met before, such as 120fps and ray tracing. On top of that, it improves its content offer with new modes and retains its successful, nuanced simularcade driving experience - and that, despite some old flaw, makes for one of the best racing games around.

F1 2021 creates an experience that justifies my desire for a PS5 and Xbox Series X, and if titles are going to start hitting this level of graphical fidelity and depth, we need to buckle in because the ride is going to be an incredible one.

Overall, I find the game to run much smoother than F1 2020. It's great to see codemasters actually fixing issues from the last game to this game but only time will tell. Is it worth buying if you already own F1 2020? I don't think so, unless you are a hardcore F1 fan and really want to try Braking Point. For me, the biggest reason to buy it would be for the co-op career, which just seems like too much fun having your friend as a rival or even a team mate and dominating the season. Hopefully this gives way into maybe having a co-op My Team game mode in the future. Seems like a great step forward and I'm glad EA being involved hasn't influenced Codemasters that much.
An experience that will satisfy fans of the genre and a little challenge. Despite its shortcomings, it is the best F1 game you can play.

F1 2021 once again shows that the best games can still find ways to improve to stay at the top of racing genre.
A predictable, but engaging story mode has added some real shine to the F1 franchise, alongside the addition of two player career mode adding more options for players. Each iteration of F1 has gone from strength to strength, and F1 2021 is a great representation of the sport, from realistic presentation, great graphical details on the cars, tracks that feel authentic, and the return of My Team. Fans of F1 who want to keep up to date with the sport and have the latest team liveries and driver rosters, will be totally in love with this.
Another smashing entry in the F1 series, and has left me wondering what more they could add for 2022 when that inevitably rolls out of the pits next year.
Codemasters offers a new experience with F1 2021 and the presentation of the fictional section of Braking Point. However, Braking Point is not a flawless state and has its own weaknesses, the kind of eye and lip animation among the curtains of this section is not designed properly, but the totality of the game and the story it presents is entertaining and engaging.

F1 offers some new features, but there are some weaknesses as well, like poor story mode and some missing tracks from Championships.

F1 2021 is one of the best editions of the series. Impressive in the visual aspect and in the sound, also standing out in its gameplay. With a wide variety of modes for one or several players and a technical performance at the height of the new generation, presenting graphics at 4K and 60 FPS.

For the second year in a row, the official game of Formula 1 will be a delight for fans of this category and those passionate about motorsport. Likewise, F1 2021 is already one of the best sports simulators out there and in terms of its own history, it is the best Formula 1 game so far.

It all shapes up to make F1 2021 more than, well, F1 2020+1. The new game has applied a generous amount of polish to the things that it carried forward, and the new modes, such as Braking Point and the two-player career mode, add some appreciable entertainment to a solid racing game. It is equally enjoyable to an F1 nut as to someone who is entering the sport fandom, and I have been having a great time whenever I fire it up for a few laps.
F1 2021 is a scene in which I will spend even more hours than in F1 2019. F1 2020 didn't pull me up that much, but that's because there were few changes. In the case of the latest part of the brand, it is radically different.

F1 2021 is, without a doubt, Codemasters’ best F1 game to date. It’s just a shame that coronavirus hasn’t made its career mode quite as accurate as some might hope it to be, and some bits here and there seem to be lacking a bit of polish. Still, if you’re open to look past such issues, you’ll find a deep, rewarding racing experience that’s highly customisable. And if you delve into Braking Point, you’ll also find a story mode that genuinely adds to the package. Whether you’re an ardent F1 fan or not, F1 2021 is likely to be a contender for the accolade of best racing game of the year, that’s for sure.
F1 2021's new story mode and level of customisation and accessibility make it perfect for hardened racing fans and those looking to take the genre for a spin.
F1 2021 serves up the most complete and well-rounded experience to date. Annual improvements aside, Braking Point alone would be enough for me to jump in, but the fact that Codemasters have gone to this length to provide a complete package is admirable.
Ahh F1 2021, so nearly perfect. To me, F1 2021 was a bit like going on a first date with someone who seems absolutely made for you in every way. They’re gorgeous, funny and even pay the bill, but then you find out they think Star Wars is rubbish.
