Forza Horizon 5 Review

Alessandro explored ancient ruins in a McLaren F1, jumped sand dunes in an Ariel Nomad, and took a breezy seaside drive in a VW California Coast for 20 hours with Forza Horizon 5. Review code was provided by Microsoft.

Forza Horizon 5 releases on November 9th on Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows.

I love how Forza Horizon just feels like a celebration of everything cars represent, and Forza Horizon 5 looks like the biggest, most diverse celebration yet :o,

This will be my first racing game in many years and I can’t wait

As a PlayStation owner I just want to say this game looks incredible. This comment was not really necessary, but people are still having console wars and I wanted to be a reminder that you can enjoy whatever platform you prefer to play on

This legit looks like the greatest racing game in existence

[enniopp]

This seems like an incomplete review, IGN did a better job by detailing the customization options, here they didn't even mention them.

I was a late bloomer to forza horizon n when I played forza4 I was hooked. Joining the band wagon on this one but this time early.

I don't ever play racing games, but I'll check this one out on Game Pass!

GameSpot: We really love how there is more story and character interaction

Every Other Reviewer: Your avatar is stupid and anything involving them is the lowest point of the game lol

thank you playground for making forza accessible on PC

[DeeViews]

Lol goddamn what did Britain do to you 😂

[Orain]

I saw ign gave this a 10 and my first thought was "I bet gamespot gave it a 9" so predictable 🙄

[joshuadavey]

Honestly the score should have been a 10.

[PiszTAG]

"the forza horizon 5 still stands head & shoulders above anything else in the genre" :/

[cavemanx]

They didn’t mention the editor mode, I thought it was a big part of the game!

[seancoyne]

Forza Horizon 4's map was one of my favourite aspects of the game, I loved the British aesthetic. Horizon 5 looks fantastic!

[jesustyronechrist]

Seems like the reviewer really dislikes Britain's aesthethics lmao

[KaiLordZA]

Gamespot rated this a 9 when its easily a 10. Looking forward to playing this on my Series X

Forza 5 is my GOTY. I literally played all day Saturday and Sunday and almost found all of the roads and boards.

The quality T10 & PG Studios put in each car and environments is pretty amazing.

I like how they put the same amount of love not just for the Series consoles but also X1X and X1 consoles versions.

I prefer quality mode over performance as I like that crisp look with the effects. Series X/S shines here. The level of detail is breathtaking.

It always amazes me when a review gives no negatives, and other sites agree, and one site gives a 9 when the other gives a 10. Amazing game no matter which number it is, but I would love to have someone explain how the same game, with the same strengths and weaknesses (in this case, apparently no meaningful weaknesses) gets a different score. I have noticed Gamespot has been more stingy with the points for years now, and I honestly don't mind that, but understanding what the driving factor for that tendency would help me logic it out. Can't wait to play this game (I am a fan of Forza in general, and Horizon in particular), as it looks stunning, and from what I heard, plays smooth as always.

The stormy wather in the jungle looks amazing.
