F1 22 Reviews
F1 22 is about as close ask you get to an accurate simulation of a real-world sport. It manages to do this while continuing to offer an unprecedented level of customisation of the player experience. A game that others should be looking to emulate in terms of player control.
F1 22 brings a whole suite of improvements to what was already a very good series, and I look forward to it consuming my life for the next few months.
F1 2022 retains most of what made the previous game had, adding just enough to to satisfy most fans. With more time in the oven, it could have been nearly perfect. Still, the fear of EA control lingers.
With F1 22, the developers allow you to take the simulation aspect as deep as possible, or if you’re a newcomer, ease your way into it. Regardless of your approach, the difference in difficulty and accessibility is noticeable without losing fun and excitement. Whether you’re a die-hard F1 racing fan or just looking to get into the sport and have some digital fun, F1 22 deserves a spot in your rotation, and it will take a heck of a game to knock it out.
F1 22 isn't a revolution because we didn't need one. What was good in F1 21 is back here, with some new adds and the new still embryonic and yet promising F1 Life mode.

A great racing game that any F1 fan will love, although it fails to really set itself apart from its predecessors.
For Formula One fans, it’s easier than ever to recommend F1 22. Significant changes have been made here to not only keep the game up to date, but also more immersive, more expansive and more fun. The only real disappointment is F1 Life, which feels a like a good idea in principle but very poorly executed. And of course, the lack of a story mode will be a let-down to some, too. Ultimately, F1 22 takes a couple of steps forward and couple back, but where it matters – in its gameplay and stellar career mode – it’s still very much at the front of the pack.
Given all that, F1 22 feels more like a pit stop than a podium finish. “F1 Life” is simply uninspiring and supercars feel out of place. Codemasters is seemingly laying the groundwork for future titles with this game. But in itself, the game needed more content.
F1 22 is another super solid entry in Codemasters' superlative run of racers. There may not be any really pressing reason to pick this one up if you own last year's game, but besides a lack of new ways to play and an F1 Life mode that's all a bit pointless in the end, this is still the pinnacle of F1 video game action that fans of the sport will no doubt be enjoying until F1 23 drops.
Driving the new edition of F1 is still a great experience, but it didn't come with significantly new and better content, so don't expect too much.

F1 22 is a playable delight that perfectly conveys the regulatory changes of the 2022 Formula One season. But, on the other hand, it loses the Braking Point mode in exchange for including Vida F1 and the Supercars, which end up being excuses for microtransactions and mere playable anecdotes.

The game didn't evolve much which is expected for an annual release but still disappointing, but if you can look past that, there aren't many racing games as faithful and realistic as F1 22, its deep career mode is married with a great driving experience, and there are enough options to customize the experience to your liking; making it as difficult or forgiving as you wish it to be.

F1 22 is still a champion in its category. The Codemasters series does not have too many rivals, but it does not boil down to the laziness of the creators, because every year they offer fans of the queen of motorsport a lot of thoughtful novelties.

F1 22 is without a doubt one of the best titles of the year in the racing sim world. Excellent graphics that take full advantage of the PS5 hardware power, the updated regulations, the new Immersive feature that makes it possible for gamers to control their cars when the Safety Car is on the track, and the pit stop experience overall, all make the game provide an even more realistic Formula One experience.
Codemasters took the successful formula of the previous F1 games and prepared another fun new version of the series with as few changes as possible. F1 22, although it is a repetition of the past, but it shows the best repetition. The game has issues with incentive content, car variety, and challenge variety, but ultimately, it is just what a racing simulator fan wants.

The biggest draw of F1 22 may likely depend on if you are interested in the VR support, as the game's implementation of VR is quite good. Beyond that, unless you are a Formula One fanatic and need to keep up on the current season, the other new main features are best left ignored. It is still a solid racing game, and no other game delivers such a comprehensive F1 experience. Beyond VR, it's unfortunate that every new feature added to F1 22 is a misfire.
For what F1 22 lacks off the track in newness, it makes up for behind the wheel. The racing feels authentic and the changes to the physics model makes for a challenging yet rewarding experience. MyTeam and Career are deep and fun, but there’s just something that doesn’t sit right about the F1 Life.
Codemasters vuelve a ofrecer el mejor simulador de F1 hasta la fecha. Aunque preocupa lo que ocurre en F1 Life y la inevitable mano de EA con su adicción a las microtransacciones, la entrega de este año se mantiene por su propia calidad.

F1 22 is, without a doubt, the best game of the franchise released so far. Visually beautiful, it is solid and polished in its mechanics on and off the track, offering precise gameplay adaptable to any type of player, providing a complete, challenging, and well-balanced experience of this sport.

Although slightly saddened by the omission of a story mode this time around, it's more than made up for by the new vehicle physics. The concern of "F1 Life" having any bearing on gameplay being quashed makes F1 22 another flying lap for Codemasters.
