"Forza Horizon 5" review

The motorsport festival is to Mexico!"Endless adventure with cars" to enjoy with the latest graphics

　The "Forza Horizon" series is a spin -off work of "Forza Motorsport" as you know.The "Forza Motorsport" series developed by Turn10 Studios is a coma 0 in a real circuit..While it is a stoic racing simulator who competes for 01 seconds, the sister's "Forza Horizon" series is rather real casual.You can enjoy driving and racing freely with a photo of a photorial open world that is easy for everyone to drive.

　The stage of the latest work "Forza Horizon 5" in such an open world racing game is Mexico.Following the past work set in the United States, Europe and Australia, the first Latin America in this work will appear.This work is about 1 from the previous work.It is the largest open world in the history of 5 times the history of the series, with 11 types of "biomes" in the desert, such as jungle, swamps and volcanoes, including real locations such as Baja California, Guanafuat, and Teotiwakan.There is.

　The previous work "Forza Horizon 4" was released in October 2018 for Xbox One/Windows 10 PC, and was optimized for Xbox Series X | S itself in November 2020.This work "Forza Horizon 5" is originally developed for Xbox Series X | S, and you can enjoy driving with high -definition graphics unique to next -generation aircraft.In addition to elaborate reproduction to the details of each car model, the depiction of the sky and distant view is a photorial that makes you feel like a live -action.In addition, changes in the season, weather and time are implemented following the previous work.

　The hardware of this work is Roughly speaking, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 PC.It also supports Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Steam.Xbox Series X can be output with 4K (3,840 x 2,160) and Xbox Series S for Full HD (1,920 × 1,080), and in Xbox Series X | S version, 30fps "quality mode", 60fps "performance mode".You can select the operation in.In both modes, there is no difference in resolution, but if you select "Performance mode", the late racing of "Forzavista", which is the appreciation mode, will not be applied.This is where you want to choose according to your preference.

　By the way, I wrote the characteristics of the latest series "Forza Horizon 5".But at first glance, Salonization is unlikely.If you look at the coolest opening sequence of "FORZA HORIZON 5", you will immediately feel the evolution of this work.Four cars such as "Ford Bronco (2021)" and "Mercedes-AMG ONE (2021)", which are cover cars from transport machines, have fallen, and the various kinds of Mexico, which is the stage while manipulating them, is in front of them.Appears.By the way, the details of the opening sequence of this work are introduced in another article, so please refer to this.

　By the way, what kind of game do you imagine when you hear a racing game in an open world?"Test Drive Unlimited", which reproduces Hawaii Oahu, "Need for Speed", where you can enjoy underground street racing, maybe a fictitious island / car, but "Grand Seep Auto: Online".You may think of it.

　In my case, when I played "Forza Horizon 5", I remembered "Midtown Madness 2 (Midtown Madness 2)", which was absorbed in junior high school.Strangely, it is the same Microsoft racing game, but although it was a race game released for PCs in 2000, it is an open -world map set in a real San Francisco and London city.In addition to enjoying, the cars that were already included were equipped with an instrument panel (interior) perspective.

　In addition to competing for the CPU and the time and ranking, some modes can be used as a stunt car or London taxi driver to handle issues, and while playing your favorite CDs, you can just run around the city of San Francisco freely.I guess the width of this play style may be common to "Forza Horizon 5".

　Nevertheless, each work has its own charm, and nothing is the "Forza Horizon" series is the origin of the open world racing game.However, the content of "Forza Horizon 5", which is also a game as a game by dropping all elements of motor sports such as road racing and dart racing into the open world, is also established as a game, is the monitor of the genre of the genre.There is something suitable.

　I know Xbox's "Forza Horizon" series, but what is fun just by driving in the open world?Do you get tired right away?You may be worried about purchasing.At first, I was full of such anxiety and the expectation of wanting to play a rare genre called "Open World Race Game".But once you play, such anxiety will quickly blow.

　The content of this work boasts the content that can be called "infinite".You can drive freely on your own car on the vast Mexican land.Furthermore, if you go to a certain point on the map, you can participate in various races such as road racing, cross -country races, dirt racing, and street races.In this work, the chapter of "HORIZON Adventure" can be promoted by accumulating a certain amount of "Acode Point" equivalent to the "impact point" of the previous work, and heterogeneous races such as car VS airplane & motorcycle, active volcano and ancient archeological sites.You can unlock the excitement of excitement, such as exploration, can taste Mexico.

　If you play for about 10 hours and think, "The intrusion is over, it's so much," the race and activity displayed on the map will be released more and more every time the chapter proceeds.If you notice the map that the roads and terrain were clearly projected, it would be full of icons.In addition to this, you can create a player original event race and distribute monthly updates, so how much time you take, can you play everything?The "endless adventure" in the catch phrase of this work is waiting for the player.
