I have gripes with Forza Horizon 5. Little quibbles, nitpicks that might make it more perfectly cater to my tastes. But mentioning them in the face of all the game gets right feels petty.

This is a visually gorgeous game. Its world is the largest and most fun to drive in the series. It embraces the creative tools that I felt were lacking in 4 at launch, making it the racing sandbox of my dreams. After 80 hours, I don't feel any desire to slow down.
