F1 22 Reviews
Racing in F1 22 feels as good as it ever has done in the series. However, unless you’re playing in VR on PC, the new content isn’t anything to get excited about.
F1 22 is a very good game, and fans of the game should enjoy it as well as previous editions. It has enough changes to avoid yearly FIFA talk about it being the same game but keeping the core to easily allow older players to adapt to the new game.
F1 22 is a game for everyone, from the casual gamer who just wants to race, to the now seasoned gamer who, as in F1 2004, fires up and goes straight for a fast lap in the red car. For this, and for many other reasons, F1 22 is a title we haven't seen in a long time, capable of conveying the passion of Formula 1 to a wide and varied audience without leaving anyone behind, in line with the philosophy the sport has been trying to convey in recent years.

All in all, F1 22 sets out to achieve various noble objectives, but not everything performs quite as well as intended. The revolutionized cars feel like they should, the new broadcast options and extra accessibility settings allow for a more approachable presentation, and the sheer amount of game modes and content that we'd expect from a Codemasters Formula 1 racer makes this an easy-to-recommend buy for Formula 1 fans.
Codemasters put more focus on graphics and presentation into F1 22, adding style to the substance. Make no mistake though, the core gameplay and racing is perfectly preserved and updated as it should be. The F1 Life mode is underwhelming and largely superficial, but it does flesh out the overall experience of the game to not make it as stiff, backed up by the EA Trax soundtrack. It has a few bugs and foibles, but none of them hold it back from greatness. The new rules put in place make racing these incredible machines more exhilarating. F1 22 is a masterclass in simulation, and one of the finest racing games that’s a must play.
