Forza Motorsport continues to be a reference in racing simulators for consoles and is the most beautiful entry in the series, in addition to being the one that presents the most realistic and refined gameplay among all Forza games and deserves praise for its wide accessibility options.

Turn 10 are fantastic developers, and I was hoping for more from this rebirth of Forza. This is a game I’ll sink countless hours into going forward, but I genuinely hope it gets the updates and fixes it deserves. Unfortunately, these issues I’ve had drag the score down on this game, but that doesn’t detract from how much I love the gameplay loop.
The reboot of Forza Motorsport delivers a great racing experience with more than enough content to keep you sated for a very long time. Even though it's not necessarily a reboot, Forza Motorsport improves on all its predecessors by doing even more things right, while delivering some new experiences along the way. With its highly addictive systems and refined gameplay, Forza Motorsport is a racegame that you simply can't miss.

Forza Motorsport 8 showcases the extensive expertise of Turn 10 Studios in the racing game genre. The game stands out with its impeccable weather effects, delivering breathtaking night races. However, it’s not without its shortcomings. The daytime visuals, the variable authenticity of certain car behaviors, and the repetitive tire squeal in some instances highlight areas that could benefit from further refinement. The game’s content offering is generous, boasting a wide selection of vehicles and tracks, with the promise of more to come. Nevertheless, the heart of a racing game lies in its gameplay, and while Forza Motorsport 8 provides moments of exhilaration, it occasionally feels somewhat detached from reality, especially in handling low-powered vehicles. Despite not achieving absolute perfection, it undeniably secures its position among the most visually stunning and content-rich racing games available. Whether you’re a long-time series fan or a newcomer, Forza Motorsport 8 offers a worthwhile experience, and we can hope that some of its imperfections will be addressed in future updates.
Forza Motorsport fails to deliver what was promised to compete with today's racing games, from AI and gameplay perspective, it struggles to deliver the optimal experience although excelling in producing a great presentation with stunning ray tracing effect but poor image quality for reasons unknown.

Perhaps one day I’ll get over my insecurity and lack of motivation around driving. Maybe I’ll get over any fear of harming myself or others in a freak accident, or I'll tire of taking commuter rails anytime I want to travel upstate and eventually take matters into my own hands. Until then, Forza Motorsport lets me feel the thrills of high-speed racing and, more importantly, gives me confidence that I can drive a car as well as the best of them. The game doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it provides more of those amazing feelings.
Forza Motorsport is coming back a bit lazily and not as grandly as one might expect after six years. It's still an excellent and all-around improved chapter, but it shows some signs of stagnation, such as the lifeless Career and the not-so-"revolutionary" visuals that Turn 10 promised during the title's marketing campaign. In conclusion and in very simple words, those of you who have played Forza Motorsport 7 know more or less what to expect. One thing's for sure, if you love Forza Motorsport, you'll love this too.

Once again we are dealing with a base that, despite the introduction of many changes in visible areas, after a longer interaction it shows, the same old habits as previous games. But I've had enough of clicking through yet another Motorsport competition or a deluge of minor Horizon activities. There's room here for Turn 10 and Microsoft to rethink initial player feedback and introduce cool events and modes that will differentiate this game from its family predecessors and the works of its opponents.

Forza Motorsport is a gorgeous racing experience across each and every lap. The title excels in rewarding players during every race, and the legendary amount of available cars and tracks at launch means there’s plenty to enjoy right from the starting line. The gameloop is addictive, with a more than generous layer of accessibility options to create formidable racers out of anyone. The real meat may be the multiplayer modes, but it never overshadows what is offered in the single-player career mode. Here’s to hoping the live-service model works for this release, with the launch state looking like a great starting point.
Forza Motorsport is the best kind of racing simulator. It understands that some players sometimes just want to sit down and smash out a few laps in a Bugatti without having to think too hard about it. In the same breath, it’s also capable of letting you challenge yourself to become a better racer and provides a comprehensive number of tools to enable and encourage you to do so. Presented in a way that is truly player-first, and wrapped up in one of the most fully-fledged packages of cars and tracks I’ve seen for a long while, Forza Motorsport sets a whole new standard for racing games. Whether you’re a casual racing fan or a hardcore motorhead, this should be a permanent install on your Xbox for years to come.
After being given so many years to build upon previous Forza titles, as well as learning from what Playground Games was able to achieve with its Horizon games, Turn 10 focused too heavily on gameplay and progression elements nobody had ever asked for, almost as if they were intentionally padding the game’s length in order to make a Game Pass subscription feel more enticing in the long run. Everything about it feels bureaucratic: the narration feels bored, the UI feels excessively professional, it’s hard to feel like there was any passion in the creation of this title.
The Forza Motorsport journey has come a long way, and it returns with slight innovations in the eighth installment. Sadly, however, there aren't that many, and more than a reboot, I wouldn't be shy to label it as an improvement on the seventh installment. While it's the most accessible sim, before it can teach new players more realistic driving, it overwhelms them with powerful assists. However, fans of the series will enjoy the game, especially if they play it with friends.

Forza Motorsport is a technically impressive offering that is at the forefront of current generation racing. It does however feel limited by its content, particularly as it’s been so long since the previous release.
Forza Motorsport is a fantastic racing game that delivers a satisfying experience. While that may be the case, the driving experience is nothing like a simulator. If you have an Xbox One X or S, you'll get a satisfying sense of weight and stability when navigating racing cars. You'll be startled by the disparate visual standards; newer cars have sharper detailing than older ones. However, rear-wheel drive street cars have certain odd quirks. Although a steering wheel add-on is supported, we recommend using a gamepad for the optimal experience. If you like competitions, you'll love the format of practicing and then qualifying for the event. You can choose the fastest three laps to use in a given race with the latter. It's unclear if this will get enough interest to support a healthy multiplayer scene. Forza Motorsport is a must-have for any Xbox owner when it comes to improving your online driving skills.
After a six-year absence, Forza Motorsport returns to the road with a new version that is well-honed on the axes promoted by Turn 10. It's an immediately familiar game, capable of lasting for months and years, in a racing style between simulation and arcade inclination. Somewhat conservative in the game modes, without shying away from compartmentalized structures and not given to risking new tests and challenges, he plays the card in the heart of the races, in the physics and in the driver's seat, refining much of his legacy, even if he has left behind some of the most impressive circuits that the series has known. Nevertheless, it remains as one of the best driving games. Capable of challenging and impressing the most ardent fan of car driving.

It is no small feat for a game to impress as much as Forza Motorsport does. There are few titles actively attempting to keep the bar as high as humanly possible for future titles to draw from, and Forza Motorsport is undoubtedly one of those. It is gorgeous in all the right ways; feels amazing to play; and truly immerses players into the entire gameplay loop. Exceptional is hardly an appropriate classification for the game, as it is damn-near one of the best simulators of the generation.
I expected more from Forza Motorsport glorious return. More content and some additional novelties perhaps? Either way, it’s a great racing experience with overwhelming visuals and sound. Turn 10 has delivered a very good game that will only get better with time.
Although I'm not too fond of the always-online requirement, looking beyond that, Turn 10 has, without question, delivered its best racing simulator to date with Forza Motorsport. From all-new driving physics to a host of new accessibility options and realistic visuals with some of the best ray tracing implementation I've seen in a racer. Forza Motorsport is sure to satisfy any fans of the series out there when it comes to its simulator gameplay. But beyond that, there are a few areas that could use some fine-tuning. Specifically in its RPG mechanics, which can feel like a grind for upgrading vehicles. It also lacks tracks and modes, but that's something that can be fixed over time. It's still an issue for launch, though I'm sure in the year to come, Turn 10 will have Forza Motorsport firing on all cylinders to make it the ultimate racing simulator.
Forza Motorsport 2023 makes a great return after a six-year hiatus, impressing with its motivating career mode changes and stunning graphics. While it excels in vehicle handling and design dye, the limited track selection and lack of diversity in the career mode are notable drawbacks.
