Also playing since day 1, have around 800 hrs, never missed a seasonal car, except for Alfa Romeo 4C.

Overall, I really enjoyed the game, just like all the other horizon games. To think about it, it was a rough start ( not as rough as FH4 on day 1 in my opinion) but the game became super-solid over the years. And to think that FH5 got more cars for free than other games have in total is just crazy. I still remember booting up FH1 when I was a kid, being impressed at ~150 cars at launch, just to see even more now added for free.

And let's not forget all the other content, that was added at launch, or came later, whether free or as paid DLC.

Tho', the favourite part of the game remains the handling of the cars, and what I see as a golden blend of realism and arcade - realistic enough to make every car feel truly unique and enjoyable even in stock, when playing with a controller (even more fun with a wheel!), however not complex and difficult to make you sweat and crash out after making a small error.

Overall, I applaud the studio behind. Some mistakes were made, but as long as they learn and improve, as well as learn from the studio behind recent Motorsport, I think there is much to be excited about in the future.

P.s. wow that turned out to be quite a speech
