Okay so this is going to be a fairly long review.

I've been a forza player since motorsport 3 and have played every game since then. I played on xbox 360 to xbox one and then made the switch to PC for Forza Horizon 4. Forza Horizon 4 also had its issues at launch but still performed really well and had no graphical issues from what I can remember. However for Forza Horizon 5 that is a different story.

Firstly the game and story are great. You can tell the creators know what they are doing with these games now as every time they release they are perfect, story and gameplay wise. But with this forza this PC version as some serious issues. The launch release would crash frequently and would never load the forzathon shop. Another issue was that you will disconnect from the online servers every time you went into a race. But thankfully these issues have been fixed, but this has meant I have been able to find the other issues with the game.

FH4 at High settings looked like the Xbox one version of the game near enough, so I expected that high settings for FH5 would be how the game looks on series S at least. However the game looks like a late xbox 360 to early xbox one game at the best at this preset. Customising the high preset by turning features from medium to high and putting up MSAA to x4 does make the game an xbox one to xbox one X game which I'm happy with. But there are massive frame timing issues where the game drops frames for no reason whatsoever, and the game is running between 55-70FPS most of the time, but these drops make the game annoying to play. Even capping the frame rate and/or turning on long motion blur don't help. So I hope this is something the devs can fix.

Apart from that its a great game, its just a shame that PC version is not looked at in the same way the xbox version is.

Also for anyone wondering I've got a Ryzen 7 3700X and a GTX 1060 6GB with 16GB of RAM, and yes I am running the game off an NVMe
