EA Sports F1 25 offers exceptional driving physics, new Breaking Point chapters and a robust My Team mode section, which are enough to compensate for the apparent lack of additional content that plagues annual driving games.

I’m encouraged by the work that has gone in to improve and launch My Team 2.0, but I can’t help but feel short-changed with too many customized options being locked behind a paywall. That being said, I can see myself putting a lot more hours into F1 25, exploring the different outcomes in Braking Point 3 and delving into a long-term save in My Team.

Mainstream appeal is more than assured, not only thanks to Brad Pitt, but especially thanks to the diverse help functions. Compared to its predecessor, "F1 25" shows slight improvements in almost all areas, thus surpassing it. It's not a giant leap, but certainly a consistent evolution of the "F1" brand and therefore worthy of an editorial recommendation.

F1 25 may not feel groundbreaking, but if you've been away for a year like me, the changes feel pretty substantial. This year, it's just a few small details that have been added, but Braking Point in particular is a welcome addition and should actually be added every year. This mode provides more tension and just that little bit of extra pressure that you often don't feel in a career mode. The career mode, on the other hand, feels more bare with the disappearance of the side events that you could play in previous versions and that provided a bit more variety. It was the promo outings, let's say, that allowed you to do something a little different than driving Formula 1, but the interviews have also been removed, for example, which means that the focus is mainly on achieving objectives. Furthermore, the inverted tracks and the connections with the film are minor additions that have their charm, but are otherwise not very groundbreaking. F1 25 has its flaws here and there in terms of experience, especially in the Braking Point mode which feels a bit like an over-the-top drama, but those minor flaws could not stop me from having so much fun and the many, many hours you can put into this game with the amount of content that has grown tremendously over the years. Add to that the rock-solid gameplay, and you have another great sequel in your hands.

F1 25 is a quite small upgrade over F1 24, but the presence of Braking Point 3, content from the F1 movie and improved career options ensure more unique race experiences, especially for solo players who want to do a full immersion of the Formula 1 experience.

EA Sports F1 25 brings quite a few improvements to the franchise along with an overhaul of the My Team mode. There are still some problems to be found, but in general it's the best F1 game we've had in a long time.

F1 25 races ahead with stunning visuals, ultra-realistic Lidar-mapped tracks, and a revamped My Team Career mode rich in management depth. While inconsistent AI and questionable driver ratings hold it back, the refined driving model and broad content - spanning Braking Point 3 to F1 World - make it a well-rounded package for both casual fans and dedicated sim racers, assuming you're always online.

F1 25 is a solid continuation of the series, with occasional improvements in physics, car behavior and game modes. Despite this, many of the changes are subtle for those coming from F1 24, which calls into question the usefulness of a new annual release.

F1 25 stands out as a major step forward for the franchise, offering meaningful improvements across gameplay, visuals, audio, and immersion. With the revamped My Team 2.0 mode, enhanced handling mechanics, and deeper customisation, it delivers the most realistic and engaging Formula 1 experience ever. This is going to set a new benchmark for racing games.

F1 25 strikes a strong balance between convenience for casual players and depth for racing enthusiasts. It refines the gameplay and storytelling from previous entries while introducing enough new features to keep the experience fresh, though it doesn't radically reinvent the series. Minor frustrations like repeated engineer messages and a sense of annual iteration prevent it from scoring higher, but overall it delivers a polished and engaging motorsport simulation.

F1 25 doesn’t shake up the formula, but it fine-tunes the experience with slicker handling, sharper visuals and a surprisingly spicy Braking Point 3 story mode that’s well worth the ride.
