Forza Horizon 5 is the latest Microsoft Game Studios game, developed by Playground Games and available for the Xbox consoles and PC. And what a game this is.
To me this is the best racing game of all time. It mixes arcade and simulation perfectly; in fact you can adjust how hard or simulation-like you want the game to be. Of course, if I wanted a simulation, I would go outside and drive my fucking car, so I prefer a chill arcadey racing experience.
And the game embraces that goofiness; you can drive 500+ different vehicles, sometimes weird stuff like parade trucks, and you will unlock them at a faster rate than you can hold your fluids from looking at those gorgeous car visuals. You will unlock cars with credits, wheelspins (a bit addicting honestly) and sometimes by completing different milestones. There are so many cars in this that you will probably never drive a big bunch of them, but who the fuck wants to drive a Ferrari when you can unlock a Renault Quatrelle anyway?
The visuals are orgasm-inducing for car enthusiasts and open world gamers. Your eyes will cry if you play on Series X and PC. In fact this is one of the few instances where I prefer Quality mode over Performance (since the camera is mostly locked ahead you don't notice the 30fps much). It's not just the pornographic curves of the cars, but the map itself that is beautiful, ranging from a volcano to sunny beaches, the desert to the jungle.
The custom decals also return, and people create some incredibly cool, funny and creative stuff. (Check the Rick and Morty Nissan I have).
There are a few hiccups, with the cumbersome menus, the "small" array of songs on the different radio stations, and those damn fucking stupid bonus billboards (a bunch of them) being "high lowpoints".
The game is incredible. Microsoft absolutely kills it this year, kudos to them! The best open world racing game of all time!
You can use Windows startup sound as a horn.
9.5/10
