F1 2018 builds upon the past successes of the series and nudges it forward just enough. However, Codemasters will have to bring something dramatic soon as while the saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rings true, when it comes to games, you need to reinvent just enough.

Polished on many aspects that were defects, this F1 2018 is an excellent vintage to justify its purchase even for those who own the previous version. The new regulations are also numerous and it is essential to follow the movement to stick to reality. With its driving combining both sensations and racing strategy, F1 2018 brings an unusual depth in car games. Fans of formula one, go for it. For others, you will learn a lot about discipline if you decide to give it a try.

It is remarkable how far Codemasters have come with the F1 series and F1 2018 has proven that a move towards simulation can be done without alienating casual players. Finally a spectacular Formula 1 experience for simulation fans.

It's not often that a game opens you up to a whole new sport, but if you give F1 2018 some time, it will do that. Fans of sim racing should give this one a look, even if they're more into street cars and exotics. Why wait to unlock the most amazing cars in the world when you can start behind the wheel?

While F1 2018 will feel like an incremental upgrade to F1 2017 for some, it is the nuances that make it a standout. It feels like a more complete broadcast package than ever before. Whether that’s something you’ve cared about before or not, it’s immersive as hell. The career mode is more robust, delivering a more authentic experience. With opportunities to race classic F1 machines around new tracks, it’s all fantastic to experience. Simply put, F1 2018 has it all.

F1 2018 is a better version of last year edition. A lot of changes make sense for casual fans. Fortunately, hardcore players aren't abandoned.

In general we can be satisfied with the title from the Codemasters home: F1 2018 has proved up to expectations. We do not have a big leap in quality or super revolutions, and yet again this year we have a good title that can be played at more simulative levels or more arcade. This year we are seeing an improvement in gameplay thanks to the introduction of a structured career mode and a good car management system, particularly regarding the choice of tires. Graphically we have nothing to complain about the cars are cured and the scenery accompanies very well. In short, a great title suitable for all users who want to whiz on the track!

While F1 2018 is undoubtedly a great game, only racing game fans who haven't already played its predecessor are going to feel wholly satisfied with it. Meanwhile, avid players of F1 2017 would be wise to wait until the inevitable F1 2019 – unless they really must engage in some multiple choice PR interviews between races right now.
