Forza Horizon 5

Playground Games’ Mexico has deserts, jungles, neon cities packed into a huge map. Dozens of hours in and I still find new PR stunts, hidden barns, seasonal routes that make me swap cars and tune differently.

The driving sits perfectly between sim and arcade. Each car feels different, the game never punishes trying stuff, and skill chains, convoy bonuses, and dynamic weather keep runs interesting. The Festival Playlist makes checking in weekly a habit with exclusive cars and challenges that don’t waste time.

You can have fun immediately, but mastering the systems takes time and practice.

The game looks incredible. 4K with HDR pops, the radio is good, and DualSense via Remote Play has nice rumble. Road-tripping in a Porsche or dirt racing in an electric monster is consistently fun.

Still playing it months later.
