F1 23 Reviews
Far be it to appear crotchety, but F1 23 is yet another yearly Formula One game that sports only incremental improvements, many of which are minor or otherwise injected with travail. Yes, it’s harsh to expect a yearly entry in a sports franchise to totally change the game, but F1 23 could’ve at least conjured up a feature that’d plant a seed for something extraordinary in future entries. But alas, it’s a mostly-safe F1 game riding on the successes of previous F1 installments. Braking Point 2.0 does offer some solid (if sometimes cringe-inducing) drama, the driving mechanics and presentation continue to impress, and generally, to an outlier, this is one fabulous F1 game. However, resting on your laurels only gets you so far, and F1 23 has failed to move the needle in regards to making F1 games even more compelling than they already are. By all means, pick up and relish another core EA and Codemasters F1 outing, but it’s time the series stopped playing it safe and gave us something audaciously new.
F1 23 really nails the driving experience like no iteration has done before. Catching slides makes you feel every bit the seasoned F1 driver. It’s a game changer. The Breaking Point story mode is really well done with some great acting, story twists/turns and some top notch cutscenes that heighten the drama. It’s time now for the franchise to move up the grid and onto current gen only release, carrying forward the pieces that have been mastered. Codemasters must press the foot to the floor and finally put some of the quirks that have been hanging around the game for a few years now firmly in the rear view mirrors. This one takes the chequered flag with a very strong Thumb Culture Gold Award.
F1 23 does exactly what we missed in F1 22. Braking Point is back and quite entertaining. In addition, there are different modes where you can test your skills and there are also opportunities to learn how to race with fewer tools. The new track, Las Vegas, drives great and visually F1 23 has been polished up here and there. F1 23 is mainly intended for the fans and these fans will therefore drive the necessary kilometers to be the new virtual Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton.

This year's edition of F1 23 is far more complete than last year's, with the return of the story mode, improved gameplay, the arrival of a central hub with several ways of racing, and the introduction of the red flag. Codemasters undoubtedly has what it takes to convince players to pay for the game this time around, despite the absence of an update for F2 or the lack of novelty offered by the career mode.

F1 23 is a great title for what it aims to do. The game is fast, chock-full of features, and fulfills the need for a competent and polished driving sim. With the return of Braking Point along with the all-new F1 World, racing fans can expect a good time with the game.
F1 23 arrives as a great recommendation for fans of the most important category of motorsport with engaging game modes, a very high quality presentation and subtle improvements in the user's quality of life that make our experience with the game very pleasant. Even with an EA microtransaction system that is not justified, Codemasters shows that it is an expert on the subject with yet another very high quality product.

We can say, without a doubt, that F1 23 is once again crowned king in terms of Formula 1 simulation games. After playing with a friend who has never had experience in games of this type, he told me that he felt really comfortable and that he had a great time playing in his casual mode, an experience that I thought could overwhelm him and that ended up being the opposite, a very comfortable, accessible and above all very fun afternoon. The Braking Point 2 mode is a hit, since, apart from pure and hard competition, its objective game system, beyond being among the first, makes the experience very interesting as well as satisfying to play. If we add all this to the drama that the rival protagonists experience behind the scenes in a television documentary plan and the recovery of characters from season 1, the final result is a most interesting cocktail. Special mention of its large number of game modes, both competitive and cooperative, in addition to the use of driver and team licenses, a mixture that results in an amalgamation that makes this game a very good sports experience, if not the best, of F1 , simply the definitive simulator of this genre. A game that becomes essential in any library of sports game lovers and whose only drawback is the poor facial animations of some of its characters, which are overshadowed by the spectacular visual aspect of the single-seaters, the true protagonists of this title. , together with the micropayment rate, an incomprehensible practice and that despite being cosmetic additions, are only accessible with real money instead of in-game. In short, a game that will give us many hours of fun with its numerous game modes and its multiplayer (online and offline).

F1 23 is a good effort on Codemasters' part, in a franchise that is released year after year. It is a complicated task to implement major novelties in just 12 months, but this time it was noticed that they struggled. We have a more desirable Braking Point 2, an F1 World full of competitions and challenges, and the implementation of the Super License and Tech Level that give the depth that was missing. Those who feared the possibility of this being just a year dedicated to updating the drivers and cars, can rest assured. This season is one of the best of recent times in the universe of virtual Formula 1 racing.

EA Sports and Codemasters deliver another great outing oft he F1-series. F1 23 deliver tons of gameplay- thanks to the addition of Braking Point 2 and F1 World. Longtime-F1-players will be disappointed due to the lack of new features in the career-mode however.

But ultimately, F1 23 remains a great racing game, more accessible than ever for newcomers, more authentic than ever, more customizeable, and most notably featuring the comeback of the excellent Braking Point story mode. It is by all means an iterative upgrade with not many standout features, but the unified F1 World experience and various smart changes make F1 23 a worthy addition to F1 fans’ libraries.
Whether you’re fulfilling a fantasy of being a driver on a famous team, racing your friends list with a custom team, or taking part of a Netflix-style docu-series; there’s lots of racing to be had. I can’t find anything about this package to be disappointed with, not even its price point, which feels warranted for once. F1 23 simplifies what didn’t work in prior years, continues a story mode that improves on the original, and expands on modes to make them more worthwhile than ever. Codemasters put on a clinic this year, and manages to top themselves year-over-year with F1 23 being the best entry they’ve made yet.
