Forza Horizon 5 – An Overview

Forza Horizon 5 is a racing game, and what makes it one of the unique options is the fact that it isn't only about the racing. The mood, tone, and feel offered by the game should definitely impress you to the core.

If you have played Xbox's Forza Motorsport racing video game, you will find the spin-off game one of the unique options by several counts. The open-world spin-off of the racing game franchise, Forza Horizon 5 is the first to debut on Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. You can also expect the more serious and circuit-based Forza Motorsport, which is coming up soon, but you would find the Forza Horizon 5 a great option as of now. It has been rated to be the flagship game on Xbox for now.

How to play Forza Horizon 5?

The game is in tune with most of the globe-trotting series of racing games. Each of the Forza Horizon games will take place in different parts of the world around. If you have played the past iterations of the game, you will find that it has been through the proverbial and literal travel destinations that include but are not limited to Colorado, southern Europe, Australia, and the UK. In this edition, you are heading towards Mexico.

The car list and other aspects of the game are quite interesting and unique. You would get access to a very diverse and endless list of cars. Even the terrain and the environment are quite interesting and unique and beautiful. The driving physics and other accessibility options are quite exciting and unique in every aspect. To top it all, you would find the racing one of the most exciting and excellent options ever.

While you are leveling it up, you will get access to a host of exciting options offered by the game. There are several event types, a few tasks that look like side missions and passive driving challenges. They will ensure that you have something to do and enjoy every moment apart from the main gameplay.

Horizon 5 has a new introduction in the form of Expeditions. These are special driving missions that would be helpful in letting you unlock the additional Horizon Festival options. Each of the expeditions are designed to let you enjoy a particular topographical segment of the map and should provide you access to a few unique and exciting moments.

Comparison of Forza Horizon 5 with Forza Horizon 4

One of the major differences between the two versions of the game lies in the size of the maps. The maps in Horizon 5 are definitely bigger and larger than those in the Horizon 4. You will get access to all the maps on Horizon 4, even on Horizon 5, but the scale is quite higher on the Forza Horizon 5 map.

Yet another difference you would notice would be the season mechanics. The change of seasons is not drastic on Horizon 5, as in the case of Horizon 4. You will find that the seasons are presented in their unique and smoother way.

The Verdict
