Our verdict on the F1 2021 game: What's good? What's not so good? What's missing?

In our review of the latest official F1 game, F1 2021, Nathan Quinn shares his thoughts based on his hands-on experience with the game. We take a look at what you can expect from the brand new 'Braking Point' story mode, the other key changes that have been made for 2021, and the areas of the game that haven't quite lived up to expectation - or have been taken away entirely.

"in accordance with EA's usual pricing strategy" has to be the most polite way I've ever heard that be put! haha ;)

For me there a no big improvements, adjusting career mode is nice because after 2 or 3 seasons your team gets just way to dominant. But i would have bought this years game if only they got a livery editor in the game and improved my team. I dont want fake drivers beside myself on the grid.

Everyone: Talking about Breaking Point

Me: Smoother pitstops, yay🥰

I always wonder who the hell reads through lenghty ingame emails? I mean, most of us don't like reading email in real life, so why are game developers so obsessed with ingame emails which add little to nothing to the atmosphere or the storyline.

I own F1 2013, F1 2016 and F1 2020. Cause from one year to another, things don't really change. And it's much cheaper to buy only a few, and buy them when a new F1 is about to get released or has been released (like I did with F1 2020 two weeks ago)

unless you really want the story mode there really is no point in getting the 2021 game when it barely reflects the reality of the season (tracks that were races on, changes to actual tracks)

[mholden]

This is why I buy games like this once every few years. Maybe it's the same as the previous game, but I skipped that one and the two before it so we're good!

0:18 The game engine actually does support VR but it has never been implemented into the actual game as a usable feature
4:45 The ability to save and store full race replays was supposed to be a feature in F1 2020 but this never came to be

[BootieHorsie]

I wish they would copy what iRacing does. Laser scanned tracks and focus on the realism of the car physics and realistic damage

[YashNavindgi]

i wasnt too keen on buying this years game for a start but this solidifies my stance even more.. more so cause of the reason id probs just wait for next year with all the regulation changes.. hopefully much more of a different experience with the new cars and alot more new opportunities to come after they learn from this year

[MrSniperfox]

Career story modes in sports games generally don't have a lot of options and normally don't take what you do into account in the fixed story. I remember "the Journey" in FIFA, you could score a 100 goals a match but still get dumped out on loan.

[mitchellsinclair-heath]

I’d just love to be able to do my team with two actual drivers instead of having to create a driver.

[Henriette]

I really was thinking of buying this game. You saved me. Thanks!

[Ikcatcher]

You might as well just watch the story mode on YouTube and you would get the same experience

[paolo]

Seeing that i have to pay over double the price of past F1 games, its going to be a wait for the 70% discount for me

[bikerforever]

Great verdict, didn’t even mention physics and car handling.

[arnaudj.]

Honestly F1 2006 was one of the best racing game I've played in my life.

[ninjafrozr]

Things added:
2 player carreer mode
Improved race replays
Improved damage model
8 hour story mode
"Real Season Start" mode
Legendary drivers
Improved AI
A lot more customisation in everything

Things removed:
Classic Cars
Short layouts of some circuits

[luizhdcosta]

I will play F1 game when they add support for VR.

[juliankorzer]

I think this video totally missed the aspects of the game that actually matter. Like Coop-season, Carreer-mode and Online.
