Forza Horizon 5 (Xbox, PC, £54.99 or included with Xbox Game Pass)
Verdict: Driving for everyone
Rating: 
What's true of actual driving is true of most driving games: you really need to know what you're doing before you get behind the wheel. Fail to exercise your reflexes and learn all the right button combinations, and you'll be careering clumsily off every corner.
But not in the Forza Horizon series of games, the fifth of which is released this week. Here, the barriers to entry are low. The emphasis is on fun.
Just hop into any one of a hundred different vehicles — from decades-old vans to bleeding-edge supercars — and whizz around some exotic location.
Which, in this case, is Mexico. The Horizon series is known for its stunning graphics, but number 5's recreation of that North American country is something else.
