Forza Horizon 5

Finally, after a long wait, Microsoft’s first powerful games for the new gaming generation are here and it is a new installment of one of the strongest gaming series in the world that has won countless awards. I’m definitely talking about the Forza series. Forza Horizon 5 is a game that will delight your Xbox Series

How wonderful Mexico is!

In each part of Forza, a country is chosen as the location for the game’s events. In the fourth part Great Britain was the scene of events, this time Mexico is the scene of events. It is a truly suitable choice due to the wide variety of terrain and climate that will play an important role in this year’s edition. It is very important to talk about the splendor of the environment since this game is an open world game. There are 11 different terrains that you will experience in the game, varying between forests and deserts, between swamps and cities. Since the game map is 50% larger compared to the previous part’s map, you will never get bored.

The series has always been very beautiful in its graphics and visuals

The series has always been very beautiful in its graphics and visuals, but how can you surpass that with the new generation of games? Well, the biggest change this year is the weather fluctuations, so Mexico was a good choice for the game. One of the most striking weather conditions that I think will seem very familiar to people in the Middle East are sandstorms, where the world turns orange and you find yourself in the middle of the storm, driving off in your vehicle with excitement at its peak. There are multiple weather conditions and the game once again has the seasons feature that allows you to experience all different weather conditions.

And for those interested in the details of the game’s technical performance

And for those interested in the details of the game’s technical performance, as we mentioned in the game review weeks ago, it offers two different graphics and performance modes on Xbox Series Speed ​​​​60 frames. And there are PC gamers of course, because we played with the Extreme graphics option and an RTX 3090 card and got everything we wanted, true 4K resolution and more than 60 frames per second.

Hello adventure

What sets Forza apart from any other car game is that it is a car game for everyone and you don’t have to be a fan of the world of cars to have fun here. Who wants to be limited to a repetitive circular path? In Forza Horizon, the whole world is your playground and you have the freedom to do whatever you want with it, using different types of cars. Do you want to take part in races? So you want to move freely? So you want to perform different skills in the car like jumping, drifting and others.

Since the game’s release, more than 500 cars have become available in the game, which is the largest number in the series’ history. You will find very modern cars, such as the new Ford Bronco, which will be part of the educational beginning of the game in the first few minutes.

The game includes a special story mode and cinematic clips

The game includes a special story mode and cinematic clips that inform you about the various events and missions you will go through. Many types of crazy missions await you in the game, completing which you will have a lot of fun. For example, at the beginning of the game there will be a mission in which a plane carrying cargo is racing, and then in the middle of the game the plane lands with racers on motorcycles suddenly joining the race. There are missions where you search for a missing car and then drive a truck to return the lost car to the mission location. In the game there is a navigation assistant named Anna who will guide you on the following missions where you will collect award points to advance in the story.

The great thing about Forza Horizon is that you don’t have to play alone. Go to the race and the cooperative play option will appear for you. Bring your friend and enjoy the competition together. There are also many modes for group play, such as Horizon Open, which includes modes such as Open Racing and Open Drifting, where you can take part in races and challenges with your friends, although without the penalty conditions included in the past to make the mode more receptive to new players. There’s also Eliminator Mode, which marks its return. This is a special battle royale stage in the game where you face challenges against other cars and the loser is eliminated from the game until only one car remains. Finally, there’s the Events Lab mode, where players can create challenges, races and mini-games and share them with their friends, an evolution of the previous Super 7 mode.
