F1 2020's career mode provides an impressive level of depth while the new driver assists make the game more accessible for new or inexperienced players. The simulation-style may be overwhelming at first, but extended playtime leads to an enjoyable experience. However, the AI and inconsistent penalties cause frustration, as do the occasional crashes. Ultimately, Codemasters created a platform for F1 fans to revisit history or create a legendary career.

The novelties of F1 2020 are certainly more interesting than those seen in the previous version.

F1 2020 improves directly on the previous Formula 1 game from Codemasters. With MyTeam the developer has created the most complete career mode so far. The AI is also much more intense to fight in battles on track, which keeps single-player races interesting. Furthermore, with the casual mode, Codemasters have implemented every beginning driver can enjoy the F1 experience.

Sometimes Codemasters miss the target with their annual F1 series releases, but this time, they hit it out of the park.

It becomes more and more obvious that we're at the end of a generation. Thus, games are starting to suffer. However, Codemasters handled these problems pretty well and brought some nice updates to The Queen of Motorsports official videogame. My Team mode breathes a new life into the F1.

F1 2020, with its presentation that faithfully reproduces the transmission of another weekend of Formula 1, takes the lead as one of the best games of the genre this year. With a more refined gameplay for those who are veterans of the franchise and very friendly for those who are not very close to simulators or have never ventured into the genre, we have here a strong candidate for the best racing game of 2020.

Codemasters has been improving the official F1 saga, delivery after delivery, for 10 years, and culminates it with this F1 2020. A well-deserved tribute to Michael Schumacher that is more complete than ever and can reach more audiences with its new modes casual, local multiplayer and creation of "My Team" where you can manage it apart from competing on the circuits themselves. It can be enjoyed with a pad but where it shines the most and becomes essential is with a set of steering wheel + pedals.

The tracks in general still feel and look amazing, the sounds of the cars are still high quality as always (nothing compared to the sounds of the cars back in 2008), the gameplay is still addicting and fun, I also gave that new assisted driving mode a try, where it aggressively helps you stay on the racing line. When I tried this just to see what its like, I immediately turned it off, obviously I wouldn't need that since I've played these games for years but I personally don't think it's a good thing to use for new players, they should just jump in and get used to the games mechanics as it is.

For racing fans, F1 2020 is the real deal and the best entry in the series I can recall. Incredible replay value and management depth go a long way towards making this title one I find myself replaying more than previous iterations. Usually a season or two does it for me, but I’ve already surpassed that and intend to go back for more. Add to it the split-screen feature and wealth of accessibility options and there is more broad appeal to be had here than many of the earlier games in the series. So, if you were turned off by the simulation style of the game in years past – go ahead and give this version a go, as you can tweak your experience in numerous ways.

F1 2020 expands with the My Team mode and continues to offer a great driving experience. Unfortunately, the rest changes only slightly.

F1 2020 most definitely cements the fact that Codemasters have an unfaltering love for the sport and will go through many lengths to make sure the qualms of their F1 fanbase are heard loud and clear. The game builds on everything F1 2019 brought to the franchise, and then some. It looks phenomenal and proves its worth as the best franchise to invest in for F1 fans. Although F1 2020 comes in at the tail end of the console generation, it most definitely wins pole position thanks to exceptional gameplay and a whole lot of love and dedication from the developers.

On the whole, F1 2020 is the ultimate Formula 1 racing simulator. Fully licensed, extremely deep, and very detailed, Codemasters have done a wonderful job of bringing the brutality and unpredictability of the F1 season to gaming platforms across the board. The introduction of My Team is a breath of fresh air and will keep me coming back to F1 2020 for the foreseeable future. It really is an excellent game!

As with the previous title, Codemasters hit the perfect key again and continue to set the stage for how to make an almost perfect game of a sports discipline. Being an update of the formula that we have for 5 years, each season that passes is made by making small improvements and updating the templates giving fans of Formula 1 the feeling of really being at the wheel of a Ferrari or a McLaren.

The development team seems to be technically trapped in an old graphics engine, which offers stability in performance, but nothing substantial in terms of evolution in the portrayal of the sport.

with the addition of My Team F1 2020 is more than worth the upgrade from F1 2019. Growing a team from scratch is a challenging yet rewarding experience that has a meaningful pay-off as you improve over the seasons.

Codemasters finishes its 10 year journey into making a F1 game being meaningful with its best offering so far whilst still retaining their identity — something that most developers working with big IPs often struggle with. It’s the most balanced both from a newcomer or enthusiast standpoint and its MyTeam Mode is the renewal that the franchise needed.
