(Ars Technica may earn compensation for sales from links on this post through affiliate programs.) That's unless you happen to own a current-gen Xbox or a killer gaming PC, though-in which case, FH5 primarily scores big as a drool generator. And it skips a few obnoxious modern trends, letting you simply play by yourself without microtransaction-related meddling.Д«ut FH5 increments the digit in its title without much additional iteration, which means it's hardly a 'must buy,' especially if you already played FH4. That means it's good, it's fun, and it's pretty. Forza Horizon 5 remains merely the best open-world driving game you can buy- the same thing we said about 2018's Forza Horizon 4. In spite of this history, I went into Forza Horizon 5 hoping fans wouldn't have to wait for another expansion pack to add that kind of fuel injection-but sadly, my hopes have been dashed.

Horizon's best ideas have mostly come from wacky DLC packs that reimagine the series concept, particularly FH3's Hot Wheels set and FH4's Lego pack. But while each subsequent Horizon game has improved the series' technical chops, the formula hasn't changed much. The resulting game curried a ton of favor upon launch, since it evoked the beloved and long-dormant Burnout Paradise concept-with the bonus of Forza's solid car-handling model at its core. Instead of confining you to just race tracks, Horizon's massive map ranged from busy city streets to wide-open countrysides to muddy riverside romps. Nearly a decade before this week's launch of Forza Horizon 5, the Forza Horizon series began life as a plucky, goofy offshoot of the 'serious' Forza Motorsport racing games.
