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 has taken key fundamentals from previous iterations and built upon a strong foundation to include a stellar, engaging and fantastic My Team career mode. The authenticity of the product has also continued to live up to the high standards set by the predecessors and the inclusion of split screen multiplayer as well as the options for more casual modes of play has made F1 2020 not only incredibly accessible for newcomers but also new and varied for veterans of the franchise. This is easily the best F1 game to date and contender for one of the best simulation racers of the generation.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

Codemasters has delivered a masterful racing experience with F1 2020. Despite the heavy jargon-filled opening, there are plenty of helpful tutorials that break down everything to make this easy-to-understand for those who may not necessarily be car enthusiasts. For those who are after a deep and engrossing racing experience, the My Team Career mode is a joy to play through, with plenty of features to deep-dive into that extends across many hours. Whether playing online or offline, the developer has put forth one of the best racing experiences that can be enjoyed by F1 fans or newcomers alike.

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.

When it comes to simulating a professional sport for both newcomers and veterans, F1 2020 is a masterpiece. It won't let you get disappointed if you're looking for highly stressful and exciting racing experience, though it's not a perfect game in the case of visuals.

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.
