It just might be one of the best showpieces for the next-gen era thus far. If you own the console, you owe it to yourself to check out Forza Horizon 5, whether that means purchasing a copy of the game, or playing it through Xbox Game Pass.
FORZA HORIZON PC REVIEW SERIES
Playground Games found so many ways to make Mexico come to life, taking great advantage of the region's diversity, while also pushing the Xbox Series X hardware to its limits. The whole package is really breathtaking. The gameplay is fun and varied, the music is solid, there are tons of cars to unlock, and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at.

This is the definitive experience in the series so far, one that excels both on PC and the Xbox Series X. Playground Games has been getting it right for a decade now. It's hard to find much negative to say about Forza Horizon 5. It’s no surprise that Forza Horizon puts itself right into the mix with 2021’s Game of the Year contenders. On a personal level, I was delighted to hear the Arkells while driving, and it's surreal to see them go from a group I couldn't find on iTunes a decade ago, to one appearing in a AAA video game. There are a lot of great tracks that perfectly fit the racing theme, and players will have many stuck in their heads long after the game has been turned off. There are a handful of radio stations to select from, and they've been tailored to replicate the Sirius XM listening experience.
The variety is great, and it makes it much easier to spend several hours with Forza Horizon 5 without feeling bored.įorza Horizon 5's music is also quite strong. Often, I'd find myself driving a huge distance to check out a race, only to help explore a dust storm along the way, or check out that aforementioned volcano. In fact, it's extremely easy to plot a course where you want to go and follow that path from one end of the map to the other. There are so many things to see and do, but it never feels intimidating. Speaking of Mexico, Forza Horizon 5's map is huge (50% bigger than its predecessor, according to Xbox). It doesn't seem like a stretch to imagine that some players are going to want to visit Mexico for themselves after playing this game. The game's cities, deserts, and beaches all look stunning.
From the way the city of Guanajuato is lit up at night, to the glow of magma at the top of the volcano, the graphics really make this world come to life.
Forza Horizon 5 works as an excellent showpiece for the Xbox Series X console, offering so many things that made my jaw drop. Graphics certainly aren't everything, but when gamers purchase a new piece of hardware, they want to see what it can do.
