Was Forza Horizon 5 able to repeat the success of the previous part in the series? Absolutely YES, but only one small nuance. what do we have now, as support for fh5 is coming to an end? Comprehensive, large and perhaps the best open-world racing arcade game of our time. what was changed compared to the fourth part? almost everything. to put it rudely, one might say its just a larger version of fh4, but that wouldnt be true - even though its a fifth larger, it has plenty of strengths of its own. first - sounds. A huge job was carried out on the sounds of machine parts. Next - tuning: greater flexibility has been added when selecting parts (different gearboxes, differentials). Physics - the suspension and tyres now work differently (similarly, the number of tyre types has increased). Driving in the rain now drastically alters the car handling. Radio stations, character editor and there were many other things that were expanded or revised. furthermore, fh5 retains the phenomenal optimisation that is characteristic of the series; youve hardly ever seen a console port of the same quality as this one. all in all, the game is worth at least giving a go; racing games tend to have a very short lifespan, so you shouldnt put off buying Forza Horizon 5. ______________________ Смогла ли Forza Horizon 5 повторить успех предыдущей части серии? Абсолютно ДА, но только с нюансом. что мы имеем сейчас, когда поддержка fh5 подходит к концу? Комплексная, большая и, возможно, лучшая гоночная аркада с открытым миром нашего времени. что изменилось по сравнению с четвёртой частью? почти всё. грубо говоря, можно сказать, что это просто увеличенная версия fh4, но это было бы неправдой - не смотря на то что пятая часть действительно больше четвертой, у неё полно своих сильных сторон. первое - звуки. Была проделана огромная работа над звуками деталей машин. Дальше - тюнинг: добавлено больше гибкости при выборе деталей (разные коробки передач, дифференциалы). Физика - подвеска и шины теперь работают по-другому (также увеличилось количество типов шин). Вождение в дождь теперь кардинально меняет управляемость машины. Радиостанции, редактор персонажа и многое другое было расширено или переработано. более того, fh5 сохраняет феноменальную оптимизацию, характерную для серии; вы вряд ли когда-либо видели консольный порт такого же качества, как этот. в общем, игра стоит хотя бы того, чтобы попробовать, гоночные игры, имеют очень короткий срок жизни, так что не стоит откладывать покупку Forza Horizon 5.
[h1]A damn good celebration of cars[/h1] This game is just one big celebration! I’m genuinely glad games like this exist. Forza Horizon 5 throws you straight into the world of motorsport and somehow makes almost everything work together perfectly. The Mexico setting is fantastic, the music is great, the menus feel polished, the graphics look amazing, and the sound design is just *chef’s kiss*. And the optimization deserves a special mention – the game runs incredibly well, which is something I really appreciate. [h2]It still feels like a challenge[/h2] Even though the game throws a ridiculous amount of cars, events and activities at you, it never feels completely overwhelming. There’s always something to do, something to unlock, or some new car to mess around with. I had a lot of fun just driving around Mexico and soaking everything in. Sometimes you don’t even need a specific goal – you can just get in a car, turn the music up and drive. [h2]Highly recommended[/h2] If you like cars, racing games, or just want something that feels good to play, give Forza Horizon 5 a shot. Everyone should play this at least once!
Amazing visuals! Very relaxing and a beautifully built world Definitely a must have if you like racing games. You won't regret buying it.
