Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels

As a long-time Forza fan, I was hyped for the Hot Wheels expansion in FH5—but man, was this a letdown. Yeah, the visuals are flashy and the loops are fun for like 10 minutes, but once the novelty wears off, it just feels empty. The map is massive, sure, but it's mostly wide, orange spaghetti tracks with very little variety. The open-world magic that makes FH5 great is totally missing here—no sense of exploration, just a glorified racetrack in the sky. Car handling feels off too. The physics don’t mesh well with the Hot Wheels environment. Drifting on plastic at 300 km/h feels floaty and awkward. Half the time I’m fighting the camera or bouncing off magnetic track sections like it’s a pinball game. And let’s talk content: the events get repetitive fast. After the third loop-de-loop race, it all blurs together. There's barely any incentive to keep grinding, and the XP rewards feel lazy. If you’re here for nostalgia, you might enjoy it for a bit—but if you're expecting depth, variety, or proper Forza feel, this ain't it. Honestly feels more like a tech demo than a proper expansion.

I love this game, but there's a virtually impossible mission, I have to stay over 100MPH or the mission ends in a route with sharp turn where i don't have the option to not slow down. Normally this would be fine, sure its a bit of grinding. But I DID pay near to £15.00 for cars that I have to grind even more to get? I wish I had the option to leave a MEDIUM REVIEW because that's kind of what I wanted to put here.

VERY boring DLC unless youre heavy into hot wheels this is pretty darn bad as its just drive in a straight line because of how hot wheels work and how poorly it translates into gameplay of a videogame.

its alright i guess? feels weird to drive on these and the races feel scuffed otherwise its okay? dont know the class wise rating felt weird like a forced progression system but ok? idk have mixed feeling about this i think the rally dlc is the best one for me probably didnt like the weird races otherwise id sayn imagine map in a room like someones house but zoomed up rather than places with hills like ykl feeling like its your room

This DLC feels like a corporate fever dream. The map is somehow even more boring than FH5’s, most Hot Wheels cars are meh (except that one meta Formula car), and the whole thing reeks of brand worship. Hard pass unless you're really into orange plastic.

doesnt even fucking work edit it work now

Good game

best game ever
