Addictive carcollectathon, beautiful visuals, cars handle superbly, and it is great fun racing with your friends.

...If you can get past the slew of annoying bugs and technical issues the game currently has. Daily challenges that just do not work. Performance degradation (game starts at 90 fps for me, after 2 hours of playtime its down to 30 fps). Online open world lobbies seem to be limited to 10-12 players, where in Horizon 4 you saw up to 70 at once per session, which leads into the next point, Horizon Arcade events which are required for seasonal challenges being IMPOSSIBLE to finish, since they need quite a few players to reach the goals. But 99 times out of 100, you're doing it alone.

I'm willing to have a little faith in the developers being able to fix these issues since Horizon 4 too was troubled at launch, but today it runs flawlessly. And despite the problems listed above, at its core, Horizon 5 is an incredibly fun playground for all things racing!
