F1 2017 is the best representation of a complicated sport that Codemasters has offered. Offering its deepest and most authentic career mode, it draws players into the sport like no other F1 game ever has. You will learn the in-and-outs of the sport and feel like an engineer yourself. F1 2017 successfully hits 60 FPS at 4K resolution with a sacrifice in graphical detail. The racing is true-to-life on the track, but the A.I. is severely lacking. Fans of the franchise will really enjoy 2017.

F1 2017 isn't a game without flaws. An extremely steep learning curve and graphical hiccups during intense racing moments can push players away from what is otherwise an incredible game. Still, with a variety of gameplay options and the deepest career mode a racing sim has ever seen, there's no doubt that F1 2017 is the best in the history of the series.

If you're a fan of racing games, F1 2017 should be considered an essential purchase — even if, like me, you don't follow the sport. The racing is seat of your pants stuff just like it ought to be, and its career mode is simply phenomenal and offers tens of hours of in-depth gameplay. With F1 2017, Codemasters may have just made the best Formula 1 game ever, and I just can't wait to see how they aim to top it.

All in all, F1 2017 blew my expectations out of the water. My interest in racing titles had been waning, so trying the F1 series was one of my best decisions in a while. F1 2017 revived my interest in racing with its immersion and polish. The simulation is deep but allows casual racers to enjoy everything that it has to offer, and the career mode provides lasting appeal and value while adding a human touch to it all. Codemasters has brought a new level of simulation and enjoyment to racing games, and racing fans should snag F1 2017 and keep an eye out for F1 2018. I know I will.

Codemasters have returned F1 video games back to the glory days. In years from now we’ll say, “Does this game play as well as F1 2017 did?”. It’s a benchmark that only they can set higher and if you’re an F1 fan you’d be a fool to ignore this game.

Everything in F1 2017 far surpasses everything that made 2016 such a great racing sim, and though the results aren’t as noticeably superior as last year’s improvements, the subtle changes here have set the bar on what makes a truly deep and exciting Formula One experience.

With over fifteen different race tracks to test you, a range of weather conditions and the unlimited possibilities for modifying the numerous cars available, F1 2017 is anything but repetitive. The tiny details in this game make this the most authentic driving experience yet. One that truly puts you in the driver’s seat.

F1 2017 isn't light years ahead of the already very good F1 2016 but the new cars, retro content, and the juiced-up career mode make a very strong case for the upgrade, and I really appreciated the enhanced force feedback on a wheel. Rich with details and faithful to just about everything that makes contemporary F1 tick, F1 2017 is about as good a simulation of a single, modern motorsport as you can get.

As close as you can get to an F1 driver's life without being cussed by Sebastian Vettel.

F1 2017 is a satisfying experience of a Formula 1 race and it's the closest thing to the real-life experience. The game has tried to simulate these races accurately and the details are amazing. You really feel the pressure of a real race when you are playing F1 2017 and that's what you expect from a good simulator. Career Mode is better than ever and the improvement is very conspicuous. The Online Mode is good as well and you really get a nice Formula 1 package by getting this game. Of course, there are some minor bugs and problems but nothing serious to worry about. If you love speed and racing games you will enjoy F1 2017. This is the closest you can get to a Formula 1 race.
