An excerpt from the conclusion of Gamestar colleague Dimitry, who tested Forza Horizon 5 together with Heiko:

It is very, very easy to have fun with Forza. But I m still a bit redwollested at a very high level. Especially after extensive play, I thought so often at Forza Horizon 4 Oh damn, here is only so little for perfection, the successor is guaranteed to bend.

And that s exactly what Horizon 5 is too rare. Yes, on all routes, there is now a lot more diversity, Mexico is a blast. Yes, the cross-country race make more fun because my jeep is not burst down now in every puddle as if he were going through pudding. But small adjustments in the driving physics not hide the fact that Horizon five barely touches the larger series construction sites. The AI ​​remains static, tricking pretty much the tuning and replacement of vehicles remains awkward - here I was hoping for more authentic.
