Being this is the only Forza Horizon that I have played I do not have much to go off of. That being said this game is my most favourite racing game I have in my possession and will still be one year+ from now.

I have a few cons about this game however but let's start with the pros;
-Pros
-The map is massive, the biggest I have seen on any racing game.
-It has the longest straight road that is the highway going from far left to far right and it is
perfect for testing out top speed, this game also has quite a few long roads that go all
around the map perfect for driving a getting in some practice around corners and braking
times and such.
-The vast amount of cars and races in Forza Horizon 5 and with many more to come
means that there will be many hours spent in this game without getting bored.
-With the Playlist being a thing there will always be more items to obtain whether it be
clothes, horns, money, cars or even wheel spins to get even more of those things adds to the
game even more.

-Cons
-I have seen on quite a few occasions the graphics bug out, lately I have seen glitched
grass, trees and bushes as in they are rainbow pixels that turn into the correct item
once I get close enough. The roads have also been going either rainbow, no ground at
all or black with a metal type texture to it. Maybe it's PC issues only.
-Coming from Need for Speed where every car has mass amounts of customisation and
playing this game, in my opinion the cars lack that aspect. I think cars in this Forza Horizon
should have more customisation, although it will change to performance of the car some
people might want to have customised cars that look amazing outside of the performance
class cars that the game has already.

But that being said I love this game and will always love it. I 100% recommend this game to any racing game fanatic it is fantastic.

As someone that absolutely loves the NFS franchise I do really like this game a lot more than Heat or Payback, but this game is the most buggiest NFS game I have ever played.

Today I tried to play with a friend and do some playlists online, it was going well until my screen went black...
I could still see the mini map, the leaderboard, the speedo and the race time. But the world was black.
Last time I played was really bad also, I was doing a delivery mission in singleplayer and the world started flickering, first it was far away not impacting the mission but it looked like it was set to specific areas. As I got close to the flickering it eventually surrounded my car and I couldn't see anything.

The game itself is really great and I love the quality that this game has, it makes it look way to realistic.
There are some changes I would love to see in this game however;
I would love to see the tags be car specific instead of general, I find it bothersome having to change my smoke colour everytime I change car otherwise it doesn't mach to flow of the car.
It would be good if we could have the option to race against AI in online because sometimes trying to find someone to play with is difficult in curtain tiers.
,
With that all aside I love this game and I can't wait for new content to come out in the hopefully near future!
But if I would recommend this game to my friends or others I would have to say no for now just because of the bugs I have been facing and it is very frustrating. I hope they can be fixed in the very near future.
