Forza Horizon 5 is the latest title in the horizon franchise and it's arguably the best one yet. The story is that you work you way up to become a Horizon legend. There are many other side story's which you do a certain amount of missions and they are actually quite fun. Racing is fun and provides a challenge if your playing on a higher difficulty. There is great online support as servers work most of the time and i rarely encounter lag or disconnect.
The cars. Forza Horizon 5 has over 500 cars to choose from so there is a wide variety of cars to choose from. There are beautiful classic cars such as the 1983Porsche 911 and Modern saloons such as the BMW M5. At the time of writing this review, my favourite car is the recently released Mercedes AMG GT Black Series, it handles superbly and has a lot of power too, making it an instant fan favourite for many players. The festival playlist is great fun as you have to acquire to a certain amount of points to unlock a car. For example i had to get 20 points to unlock the Mercedes AMG GT Black series and it took just over an hour so it's quite rewarding and can be done in one sitting. There have been many new cars in the festival playlist as of late which is great because there were a lot of recycled cars from Forza Horizon 4 as the 20 point rewards.
The upgrade system works great are there are is a lot of visual and performance modifications that you can do to your cars. The upgrade menu works well with the games menus which are extremely easy to navigate.
The photo mode is brilliant/ If you apply the right camera settings you can take some great realistic photos.
The map is alright to be honest, it is good but feels a bit underwhelming compared to Horizon 3 and Horizon 4, however it is much bigger.
Overall, Forza Horizon 5 is a 10/10, a superb game which you should buy if your into cars.
