PS5 now has one of the greatest racing games of all time, and it feels like I'm cheating on my Xbox

There's no real need for a review of Forza Horizon 5 on PS5, the game is still great. It is an odd feeling to play it on PlayStation, though.

This is a game that has been tweaked, improved, and added to for years, and PS players now get the complete experience: one of tight street races, point-to-point charges over rough terrain, exciting excursions to find new locations, sightseeing, speed chasing, and car exuberance. Over the years Playground Games released time-limited Evolving Worlds events, in which you'd compete for high scores based around how skillfully you could drive over a set amount of time in a closed-off location. Whereas Motorsport is all gear ratios and torque (I don't know what these are either), Horizon does its best to make you feel like the coolest person alive, like if Ryan Gosling in a souped up Ford Focus RS did a powerslide between two aeroplanes.
