What's not to love about F1 2020? It's got classic cars, F2 cars, one of the best career systems, and the chance to run your own team, all in one package. Smooth handling, impressive graphics, and what I'd regard to be the best implementations of the mechanics we've come to expect from a Formula 1 game.

Thank you Codemasters, F1 2020 is a masterpiece that truly captures the essence of Formula 1 racing. The handling is superb, offering a perfect balance between realism and accessibility. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, the driving experience feels intuitive and rewarding. The addition of the "My Team" mode is a game-changer, allowing players to create and manage their own F1 team. This feature adds depth and immersion, making every race feel personal and impactful.

The game also shines in its attention to detail. From the stunning visuals to the authentic sound design, F1 2020 brings the thrill of Formula 1 to life. The inclusion of classic cars (FOR FREE NOT A MICROTRANSACTION) is a nostalgic treat, letting players relive iconic moments from the sport's history. The AI is challenging yet fair, providing a competitive experience that keeps you on your toes.

Playing F1 2020 with a steering wheel and pedals elevates the experience to a whole new level. The precision and feedback from the wheel make every turn, acceleration, and braking maneuver feel incredibly immersive. It's as close as you can get to being in the cockpit of a real Formula 1 car, and it adds a layer of realism that simply can't be matched with a controller.

However, it's bittersweet to note that F1 2020 is the last game developed solely by Codemasters before EA's acquisition. While this title stands as a testament to Codemasters' dedication to quality and innovation, the future of the franchise under EA raises concerns. With EA's track record of prioritizing monetization and cosmetic content over meaningful gameplay improvements, fans are understandably wary of what's to come. Here's hoping the series retains its soul in the years ahead.
