F1 24 Reviews
F1 24 could have been the ideal follow-up to last year had its handling not been radically revamped. However, as it stands, it's still a compelling racing sim with fun Career Modes and a strong presentation.
On the surface, F1 24 doesn't seem to be all that different from last year's game.
F1 24 is another installment that fits the mold of an annual update, without introducing many significant changes to the series. The new features in the career mode bring minimal impact to the overall experience, and the updates to handling and physics are somewhat subjective.

Full of contents and familiar, it shows some improvements from the previous iteration, but could have done better in some choices.

EA Sports F1 24 is undoubtedly the most authentic representation of the sport yet, with stunning visuals and responsive handling. You can play as Icons for the first time in career mode, too. But versus last year's release, the improvements are slight, meaning some might want to sit this one out.
Overall, the new F1 24 game is a weaker addition to the series, it doesn't add much news this year, it doesn't even have a story mode, and the authors have changed the physics model. It is such a double-edged sword - on the one hand, it can please casual players, but disappoint more experienced simulation players.

It seems that Codemasters' plan is to revolutionize its F1 franchise every 2 years and this season we saw minimal changes. However, the result is still outstanding and although it is necessary to correct some details, it is, today, the best Formula 1 game. The career mode is a great success and in itself is worth it to start the engine of the car. compete on the top circuit. It may cause division between realism enthusiasts and casuals in its released state, but not everything has been said. Despite this, in general it is, once again, one of the best sports games of the year.

If punctual revisions and the exchange of some modes and features for others is insufficient to overcome the feeling of a mere protocol update, EA Sports F1 24 is definitely as good as its predecessor, refining visuals and mechanics to become even more current, accessible and precise.

EA Sports F1 24 feels like a transitional entry, awaiting something more significant hopefully next year. Codemasters' racing game features solid, fun gameplay and a revamped career mode, but some promising ideas fall short. The nearly unchanged game offering and overall sense of déjà vu make it hard to recommend to those who played the previous installment, yet die-hard fans might overlook these flaws.

The launch of F1 24 - without mincing words - was a disaster. Technical issues, quite significant in terms of physics (extreme cornering tire grip, nonexistent kerbs, suspension system as unprecedented as it is unrealistic, Dynamic Handling revisited but paradoxically worsened), infuriated and uprising the community; fortunately the new and necessary corrective patches (which we decided to test by hand before giving our final judgment) saved Codemasters and EA Sports from a gigantic misstep. The driving experience - initially far too arcade-like and simplified - although still lacking a “polishing” hand - turns out to be “almost” in line with that of the last chapters of the franchise, as are the game modes; the lack of Braking Point - which took a sabbatical - is felt but with a further improved career, the characteristic Fanzone mode , an all around level graphics (with great attention to detail on and off the track), F1 24 - although losing some ground compared to previous iterations - is once again the place to be for all Formula 1 fans. Last but not least, the incredible accessibility - for which the developer should be applauded - means that anyone can experience the thrill of being a driver (pad or steering wheel in hand).

F1 24 is another excellent update to the Codemasters franchise. It's not the most exciting update of all time, as it lacks the major changes, but the changes made work well and give old and new players alike something substantial to enjoy. It may not be a necessary purchase for those who have already owned a game from the last two years, but Codemasters once again proves its ability to create the best racing games on the market.

It's nearly impossible to please players of every single skill level, but F1 24 gameplay is some of the best the series has been in recent years. An extensive amount of optional systems allows more casual players to simply focus on the track, and the dedicated veterans have even more small settings to tweak as they fine-tune high difficulty strategies. Driver Career is a blast, especially when playing as iconic drivers of the past and present. Sadly, the missing story mode and poorly executed quick play options make it difficult for F1 24 to fulfill its potential.
F1 24 is a fantastic game for true Formula 1 enthusiasts. The promise that this is more than just a roster update has been fulfilled. By focusing on individual teams, the game encourages players to switch teams to seek new challenges or simply to try out different cars. The game looks and sounds incredible on the track, but it lacks a bit in presentation. The voice lines directly from the board radio are a nice touch, but there is much more that could be done with the actual material. The game is missing some atmosphere and could benefit from leaning more on the existing F1 license material. However, Codemasters excels at on-track action, and that is undoubtedly evident in F1 24.

F1 24 offers a number of interesting new features, particularly in the career mode, but the driving feel is not quite what you'd expect. While the game remains more accessible to the novice, racing fans may be disappointed by the new dynamic driving system. Not to mention that starting a career in F2 is strictly pointless, as racing in the rain doesn't work, and no matter how well you do, you'll be able to sign up with any team you like. All in all, the game falls short of last year's edition, and I'd recommend waiting a while before paying for it.

F1 24 is a top of the line game for the Formula 1 franchise. It does a brilliant job in being the first choice simulator experience for F1 races as well as F2. The game however doesn't do more than just the races itself and thus fails to deliver more to the people than the previous year release of the same game.
The updated driving model isn't necessarily more comfortable, and makes the cars look a little more "pinned" to the tarmac in comparison to F1 2023, and certainly less realistic than what we see in the real sport.

With a further improved career, the cute Fanzone mode, a more believeable presentation and some much welcome finetuning here and there, F1 24 is once again the place to be for all Formula 1 fans who want to experience the thrills of the races on their home console or PC – newcomers and pros alike. Those who aren’t planning to immerse themselves in the revamped single player segment too much or aren’t that hardcore about the sport, may not find F1 24 to be an essential upgrade at all, with no new Braking Point chapter, no notable new game modes or features – with even a handful of brand new, rather annoying technical issues to be found. None of this, of course, negates the excellent gameplay loop the series has masterfully iterated upon for over a decade now, and I know in my heart that I’ll spend plenty of hours on this episode as well, long after I finish up this review. But unless you’re knee-deep into these games’ or the sports’ community, like I am, you can probably stick to F1 23 a while longer.
If you’re a hardcore fan of the F1 series, you might appreciate the work that’s gone into refining the driving physics to a tee. The same goes for the Driver Career mode, which elevates MyTeam to a new level, even if it feels remarkably familiar all the same.
Codemasters have gone above and beyond with the handling of the vehicles this year. They have said this is their largest-ever physics and handling update and needless to say they are not wrong. The cars have never felt so alive and you have never felt more in control of the cars. The developers worked closely with F1 driver Max Verstappen to make this year’s title feel like the most authentic experience.
In its current state, F1 24 is not worth the $70 price tag for the avid fans who buy the F1 games every year, and the same applies to the ones chasing a close-to real-life experience with their racing setups. If you are an F1 fan who buys a game from the series now and then to see what changes have been made, then maybe it’s worth it.
