Overview
Forza Motorsport feels bland, boring, and uninspired when compared against the vibrant, story-driven open world of Forza Horizon 5, earning a 6.2 out of 10 score and no recommendation.
Running the game on an RTX 3060 and 10th-generation Intel i7 system yields poor performance, stuttering, and lag even with super low settings and ultra performance DLSS.
Driving feels excessively basic, hand-held by a color-changing guide line, and playable entirely via keyboard WASD keys, while vehicle handling feels unresponsive and slides like ice blocks without heavy braking.
Intricate car fine-tuning offers marginal 0.1% changes that feel imperceptible to non-enthusiasts, while mandatory practice laps, unskippable tutorials, and the lack of visible body deformation undermine the experience.
