With fine-tuned gameplay, an undeniably gorgeous world brimming with fun activities, and some fun content creation tools, Forza Horizon 5 elevates the series' already-sterling reputation
Forza Horizon 5 is the best Forza yet and, not only that, but it also makes a strong case for being the best racing game period. A joyous combo of arcade racing and simulation-level depth, all wrapped up in a beautiful bow thanks to its diverse, expansive Mexico setting, this is an unmissable iteration in what is arguably gaming’s most consistently fantastic series.
Forza Horizon 5 turns "more of the same" into a mark of true excellence, furtherly polishing and improving on a winning formula and making it exponentially more spectacular on a technical level and more enveloping on an environmental level, and mixing it all with its distinctive driving model, a unique mix of a simulative superstructure with an arcade heart beating beneath the hood.

Forza Horizon 5 is yet another step up for the series and arguably the best racing game ever made. Offering a host of content across a fantastic representation of Mexico, its varied terrain and scenery, there's so much to explore and race. A massive roster of cars will perform all of these, each feeling different from the others, with a variety of upgrade and tuning options almost matching those of simulation titles. While there are a few minor niggles here and there, they are nearly so small as to be hardly worth mentioning. All in all, it's impossible not to recommend this for anybody, regardless of them being a fan of racing games or not, as this is that good.
Forza Horizon 5 is built to deliver hour after hour of glossy, beautiful fun. Hit the race mechanics as deeply as you like. Zip around the amazingly beautiful map in a Corvette for no reason at all.

Forza Horizon 5 is simply a great game that with its panache and quality of workmanship easily embarrasses the competition. This is an unquestionable "must-have" for every Xbox owner, and by the way a solid argument to buy one.

Even as a game that feels more iterative, and less like a next-generational step, Forza Horizon 5 is still the best racing game you can play and the first must-play Xbox Series X|S game to be released since the launch of the console.
Forza Horizon 5 is a fantastic experience in every possible way! The game looks absolutely stunning, from the different biomes you ride through to the design of the cars, everything was developed carefully with one of the best games of 2021 as a result. If you like racing games even just a little bit, this game will probably grab you and suck you into the Forza universe!
Forza Horizon 5 is everything you love about the franchise, only bigger, more refined and much better looking. Everything that was good has been kept, like seasonal changes, dynamic weather and colossal amount of content, hundreds of cars, nine difficulty levels and several tweaks that make the game fun, whatever your skill level. This title particularly draws attention for its setting in Mexico, which brings a greater degree of familiarity to us Brazilian players than all the maps seen in the series. Its technical excellence and virtually endless amount of content make FH5 a must-have experience for anyone who enjoys racing games.
