There are XP boards, fast travel boards, online leaderboards, a Battle Royale-style multiplayer mode called The Eliminator, and much, much more. Outside of standard races, there are Danger Sign jumps for you to break the records of, average speed cameras to set off, drift zones to conquer and even hidden treasure chests to find every once in a while. You complete races and improve your reputation across the festival, unlocking more events as you go. After all, the gameplay is more or less the same between the two Horizon titles, but there are some much-needed improvements made in 5 that just give it the edge here.įor those unfamiliar with the series, Forza Horizon games are always based around the Horizon Festival, a roaming celebration of everything motorsport. I did initially toy with the idea of leaving this as a draw. Lighting and shadow effects are second-to-none, and the various hazardous weather effects that come with each season only add to the sense that this is a real, living world. But for now, just know that Mexico looks as good as it feels to explore. Something that’ll I’ll get into more detail on later. This variety doesn’t come at the expense of the visuals, either. There’s even a stadium with a big ol’ soccer ball inside so you can get your Rocket League on… kinda. There are long stretches of beach and massive open areas off-road perfect for just messing about with friends or trying to rack up a massive skill chain. There’s the hairpin-ridden road leading its way up the side of said active volcano, offering breath-taking views of the towns and villages in the distance below.
There are dense jungles where the light seeps through the thick canopy above, making the perfect place for some moody action shots.
With a massive sense of scale thanks to the towering volcano, and a veritable selection of twisting roads for drifting, long straights for drag racing, and all manner of Danger Sign jumps and average speed camera zones, there’s little not to love about Mexico. Everything felt a little bit flat for the most part.įorza Horizon 5’s map, on the other hand, is quite easily the best in the series, let alone the best between the two most recent entries in the series. It was also pretty leafy and picturesque, but it didn’t quite have the sense of scale. It had the stunning views of the Lake District, the claustrophobic, narrow streets of inner cities like London and Edinburgh, and plenty of fields filled with sheep and other livestock. In Forza Horizon 4, players had a UK-inspired map to explore.

That’s something the Forza Horizon series has been knocking out of the park for years now, but with Forza Horizon 5, it reaches its highest point yet. Arguably the most important factor of an open-world racing game is just how good the world looks and how interesting it is to simply explore.
