Forza Horizon 5
Forza Horizon 5 is a riotous racing game on any platform but an absolutely stunning next-gen showcase. If you’re at all invested in the never-ending fidelity horserace, you’ll want to play on Xbox Series X, where its fictional rendition of Mexico is eye-popping at every turn. The game itself is quite fun, too, of course. An open-world map packed with objectives, plus some 500-odd vehicles—all fine-tuned to the degree they feel unique—keeps things consistently fresh. But Forza Horizon 5’s secret sauce is a focus on relentless positivity, which makes you feel like you’re always winning, even when you’re not.
A Good Match For: Fans of fast cars, breezy racing games, and…The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Sure!
Not A Good Match For: Anyone seeking a real-world-accurate simulation experience.
