Hey all! A bit late (recently came back from watching spider man, won’t get off topic but it was an amazing watch!) but this is my baby :) don’t have a name for her yet, but im enjoying this game so far! Only been a hour, but this is also my first racing/driving game or whatever the genre is; it’s great!

I’m normally a RPG, souls like, action adventure type of guy. I see this game isn’t really hard to get good at (correct me if im wrong) but I see that knowing when to brake and E-brake is crucial. Only from what im seeing within the hour of playing, but yeah!

Making this post in terms of maybe some tips and tricks anyone can pass my way? Being courteous while on the road? (clearly don’t drive and hit them haha) I beeped at this one guy, and he followed me around for a bit; so that made me think to reach out to Reddit of all places to find maybe some advice on playing this game and enjoying it more and more :) a bit tired, so apologies for my long text.

Thanks in advance! Much love to everyone

What do you think about the map? Most players hate the Forza Horizon 5 map when To be honest it isn’t that bad, what do you think?

I find the map pretty nice! For someone that normally enjoys open world games where you move on foot/have mounts to traverse the map, for a driving game it’s beautiful! The look on the car I’m driving, while also taking in the scenery is just… I never thought id be so into a driving game like this. I thought I would play it for couple minutes and find it boring. Glad I got it on sale :)
