F1 22 Reviews
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.
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.

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.

Welcome to F1 22, a chance for the biggest changes in F1 history to finally make their mark on this prestigious motorsport, after global events caused many delays across the past 18 months. This game also marks Codemasters 12th year at the helm of developing F1 games across the latest generation of consoles and the 4th year that Rapid Reviews have had the opportunity to review the latest iteration.
F1 22 is the epitome of Codemasters and EA's simulation games expertise, providing an extremely rich and enjoyable experience for F1 fans and newcomers alike. The game has seen minor but impressive improvements to gameplay mechanics, car design, and motion physics, resulting in the best simulation experience of Formula 1 races so far, whether you're playing solo or competitively online. on the other hand, there was no point in adding modern sports cars separately, let alone the disappointment of the absence of an interactive story mode that appeared in the previous title.

Skip, unless you're a hardcore F1 fan.
There are a few new features and modes this year. Yet, none are better that what the past games brought before. For all its worth the standouts are features that no fan of F1 or the games would asked for.

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.
Despite some promises from the Codemasters team, F1 22 seems to suffer from the same problems as the other games published by EA Sports. The game brings a little more immersion with supercars for example, but these are really anecdotal. Once again, some of the F2 championship data is not yet up to date and you'll have to be patient. Not to mention the technical problems that are much more present than before. Fortunately, the driving sensations remain the same with an improved artificial intelligence. We should not forget the numerous accessibility options to have fun, no matter what your level is. There is also virtual reality compatibility, which offers the ultimate experience for owners of this type of device. Visually, the title is also well done. If you own last year's edition, you shouldn't really expect any big changes. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

F1 2022 does not represent the game that upends the saga but reconfirms almost all the strengths that made the fortunes of the previous chapters while also adding a few new features. Inexplicable instead is the removal of Breaking Point and the addition of the almost useless F1 Life. We do, however, find support for 120 fps and the use of DualSense's adaptive triggers truly incredible. We therefore consider F1 2022 a must-have for first-minute fans.

As a successor to F1 2021, F1 22 is able to bring a number of innovations that are not always successful. F1 Life as a replacement for Braking Point is quite a disappointment. Nevertheless, F1 22 does what it's supposed to do, which is to give you that thrill of overtaking at high speed from other drivers. The career mode remains a joy to play and online brings a fun challenge. For Formula 1 fans, F1 22 is really a joy to play again.

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.
The title clearly manages to… step up to the podium, but doesn't go the extra mile (that it could) to take the top spot.

F1 2022 is back in full force and promises to occupy the hearts of single-seater fans, less good note for the F1 life mode that adds little and for the absence of f3 and historic cars. In the end it's a few French fries in need of ketchup and a little too much salt!

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.
F1 22 has a lot of under-the-hood improvements that might not be obvious at first. Driving remains satisfying, engaging, and adaptable. While the AI is aggressive, it will likely add to your race experience. The game’s presentation remains impeccable and truly reflects authentic F1 coverage. There’s a ton of content to enjoy that will satiate F1 and racing fans. But its aging graphics and a lackluster F1 Life show that an overhaul is overdue.
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.

F1 22 remains a benchmark in the racing simulation genre with a true-to-life experience of the weather, driving and adrenaline of the motorsport elite. Despite bringing more updates than innovations, it is still a great recommendation for anyone who is a fan of car racing, especially Formula 1. The game does not disappoint in relation to previous years' editions, but it runs the risk of being outdated in 2023 if it doesn't bring something that makes the player more engaged.

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.
F1 22 is an iterative entry in the F1 series that focuses heavily on an authentic recreation of a new era in the sport, with fantastic results on the track.
