Forza Horizon 5

The undisputed king of arcade racing. Drive hundreds of the world's greatest cars through a visually stunning Mexico.

The Dilwado Review: Is it worth it in India?

Forza Horizon 5 is the pinnacle of open-world racing. For Indian gamers who grew up playing Need for Speed Most Wanted, this is the modern evolution. It drops you into a beautiful, scaled-down version of Mexico with a festival atmosphere and complete freedom to drive wherever you want.

The driving mechanics strike a perfect balance between arcade fun and simulation depth. You can drift a modified Toyota Supra down a volcano or race an off-road buggy through a jungle during a tropical storm. The physics are forgiving but rewarding, making it accessible to both keyboard and controller players.

Visually, FH5 is a masterpiece. The lighting, car models, and environmental details are breathtaking. It's the perfect game to show off your new gaming laptop. The multiplayer 'Horizon Open' system is also incredibly seamless, letting you convoy up with friends instantly.

However, the game suffers from a lack of meaningful progression. You are showered with hypercars within the first two hours, removing the satisfaction of 'earning' your dream car. The Mexican map also feels a bit empty compared to the UK map from FH4.

Should you buy it on Steam for ₹3,499? No. Do not buy this game on Steam. Buy Xbox Game Pass for PC (₹349/month in India) and you get Forza Horizon 5 included for free. If you want to own it forever, wait for a 50% off Steam sale.
