I'm going to do the whole checklist thing because its simple and helps people understand but for greater depth ill explain my reasoning underneath. I also have played FH5 for quite a lot longer on xbox but i decided i would rather play it on pc hence my purchase of the game on steam

--{ Graphics }---
☐ You forget what reality is
☑ Beautiful
☐ Good
☐ Decent
☐ Bad
☐ Don‘t look too long at it
☐ MS-DOS

The game is absolutely stunning, the cars look real on a good monitor and everything is clear and distinguishable from each other. A significant improvement from FH4.

---{ Gameplay }---
☐ Very good
☑ Good
☐ It's just gameplay
☐ Mehh
☐ Watch paint dry instead
☐ Just don't

Its a car game at the end of the day; if you like car games you will like FH5 if you don't you wont like it. its a blend between ultra realistic car racing games and arcade racing games, no its not Mario cart wii but don't expect to be able to do your driving test on this.

---{ Audio }---
☐ Eargasm
☐ Very good
☐ Good
☑ Not too bad
☐ Bad
☐ I'm now deaf

Honestly the audio is a little disappointing, at least for me. The cars sounded fine; although im not a car maniac so i cannot tell you how realistic these sounds were but most cars sounded how they look like they should of. What dissapointed me was the music, it defiantly was a step down from FH4 which in my opinion sounded great. The start screen in particular is frail in comparison to A moment apart by ODESZA (FH4 start screen music) and even though i did not use the radio much in FH4 i found myself not wanting to use it at all in FH5. To be fair this is partly because the first song i heard was a song popular on tiktok and i have a personal vendetta against that app.
Overall though it wasn't bad just not as good.

---{ Audience }---
☑ Kids
☑ Teens
☑ Adults
☑ Grandma

The target audience is adults and teens but there is no reason why my granddad wouldn't enjoy this if he liked cars.

---{ PC Requirements }---
☐ Check if you can run paint
☐ Potato
☐ Decent
☑ Fast
☐ Rich boi
☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer

Optimisation isn't that great and even though mid range pc's should run it fineish FH5 likes video memory like chrome likes RAM.

---{ Difficulty }---
☐ Just press 'W'
☐ Easy
☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master
☐ Significant brain usage
☐ Difficult
☐ Dark Souls
Completely depends on settings that you get extra bonuses for playing at higher difficulty, which is nice.

---{ Grind }---
☐ Nothing to grind
☑ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks
☑ Isn't necessary to progress
☐ Average grind level
☐ Too much grind
☐ You'll need a second life for grinding

You can complete the game without grinding but if you want to get top scores on leaderboards your going to have to grind for that perfect run and the credits for the perfect car which can get quite pricey.

---{ Story }---
☐ No Story
☐ Some lore
☑ Average
☐ Good
☐ Lovely
☐ It'll replace your life

Its got a story, wont make you cry or think about in bed when you fall asleep, its mainly just used to intro you to different events and some sort of campaign that you can follow.

---{ Game Time }---
☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee
☐ Short
☑ Average
☐ Long
☐ To infinity and beyond

Story wise it won't take you too long to finish but there's a lot of cars and a lot of races so you can pretty much get new experiences every time you play + the multiplayer.

---{ Price }---
☐ It's free!
☑ Worth the price
☐ If it's on sale
☐ If u have some spare money left
☐ Not recommended
☐ You could also just burn your money

Great buy, look for sales if you don't have the money.

---{ Bugs }---
☐ Never heard of
☐ Minor bugs
☑ Can get annoying
☐ ARK: Survival Evolved
☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs

They pop up here are there but nothing major or game breaking.

---{ ? / 10 }---
☐ 1
☐ 2
☐ 3
☐ 4
☐ 5
☐ 6
☐ 7
☑ 8
☐ 9
☐ 10

Very fun well polished game and is what you can expect of they Forza franchise.
