F1 22 Review - The Final Verdict

F1 22 is a great entry point to the series for newcomers with lots of accessibility features and fun racing, albeit in a much more serious environment that demands precision and practice. For veterans, it comes down to whether you'll enjoy the new handling and suspension, the redesigned cars, the new presentation features, and so on. F1 Life feels inconsequential as a whole, less like a central showcase of this year's edition and more like a gimmick.

Overall, this year's edition feels like a pit stop rather than the next big step for Codemasters' franchise (which could be next year, according to rumors). It's another good Formula 1 racing title, one that will tide you over in many places and leave you wanting in others.

No, nobody says that the F1 games are the most accurate F1 simulation. Never trust the opinion of someone who uses chase cam. I wonder if the reviewer even realized he was racing in Formula 2 for half the video... it's like he did one F2 race in Baku and then rattled off the features list from the store page

Dude be racing in the formation lap… great review

[xthetruesmithy]

The level of driving and dumb comments make me know whoever reviewed was the not the right person to be doing so

[jordancarterwightwick]

Ah yes, that clean racing formation lap they do in f1, just a little pre show before the gp starts. Seriously where did you find this guy?

[Liasos]

Bruh, using a camera behind the car is like playing in 1999.

[jerrymcdall]

Most accurate f1 representation, mispronounced LeClerc, mispronounced Scuderia, talks about the formation lap like it's a race... Yeah I'll go somewhere else for a review

Gamingbolt: we played over 25mins it is time for the final review

[croissant]

I’ve never watched a review where the reviewer knows so little about the game they’re reviewing. And they have over 1 mill subscribers 🧐

It's not a shame that miami is the only new track. This game is based of the official 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship season. The tracks in the game are the tracks that the real life sport goes to this year.

Also nobody claimed that the codemasters f1 games are the most accurate f1 simulators. They are simcade and codemasters makes the game that way to target a larger audience. Did the reviewer even play previous games and done reasearch?

"immersive formation laps are also intriguing as you fight to race as clean as possible while timing your formation entry" how did this guy get this from the word formation? 🤣🤣 and thinks that you can start higher than you qualification position if you do it right? he clearly knows less than nothing about racing

[sharptojo]

Feels like a review from a channel with 1k subscribers, not over a million.

[HowayTheMags]

" famous tracks like Bahrain and Baku " said nobody ever.

[garrypeak]

F1 life is a bit of a waste. I’d rather see the Championships mode be there instead with classic cars.

[SimSlim.]

"What is considered the most accurate simulation of the sport on the market" Are you serious? xd

[relics]

'and what is considered the most accurate simulation of the sport on the market' is making me click off this video instantly.
This game and every F1 game is not accurate in any way shape or form, not saying that its a bad game in fact I have over 3000 hours on F1 games and I love them but.. they aren't accurate.
If you want a realistic feel of an F1 car go into iRacing as they have teamed up with the actual Mercedes f1 team to create a realistic version of their Merc W12.
The handling is not the only thing that isnt realistic. There isnt a single laser scanned track on the game and they are all quite inaccurate to real life.
This dude knows nothing about racing sims or the sport itself.
The F1 games are just that, they are games not sims.- F1 20 and 21 esports champion Jarno Opmeer

"F1 Life" looks just about as hollow as I expected it to be. "Life" equals varying background scenes. LMAO! Yeah, that's classic EA feature. Empty, hollow, unnecessary feature that sounds interesting on paper but plays barebones.

[tonyjunior]

delete this review. it’s barely a review. you spend 95% of the time just generically describing new features. and the person playing the game looks like they’ve never played a racing game in their life.

and what’s up with the audio? one second it sounds fine. the other second it sounds like you’re talking underwater. not to mention the mispronunciation of almost everything.

this is bad all around.

[Kafilkafis]

Looks like you played with keyboard. Really disturbing to watch cornering from 3rd person view.

[milkysue]

Never in a million years would I have believed someone would think a formation lap was like a fucking extra race added on before the main race.... wtf!

[nothanks]

I thought the comments talking about "racing during a formation lap" were a joke or maybe the reviewer misspoke or wasn't clear about what he was saying. But he straight up said you race during the formation lap and showed up clips of him racing during the formation lap. All the clips look like they were taken from 5 lap races where pit stops and tire condition isn't even a thing. And half of them showed you had a drive through penalty. I just don't understand why this channel would decide to review this game when they have no knowledge or interest in F1...
