As with any sports game, the first thing you'll notice in FIFA 22 is how stunning it looks, particularly on a current-generation console. This year's World Cup is no exception; the field, the lighting, and the sheer size of certain stadiums are all top-notch, as always. Player entrances and various animations used to make individual players seem even more lifelike than their lifelike counterparts are also bang on in terms of presentation.

Playground Games produced Forza Horizon 5. The team's ultimate objective was to develop a game that was far wider in scope than anything that had come before it. The team decided to set the game in Mexico because of the country's diverse landscape. For the in-game paintings, the crew teamed up with Mexican painters, while Mexican musicians were hired to provide the in-game soundtracks.

Forza Horizon and The Crew fans will recognize Riders Republic's open-world structure, which allows you to explore a beautiful world, participate in exciting races and trick contests, and search for collectibles – but instead of driving vehicles cross-country, you'll be swapping between a bicycle, wingsuit... and pair of skis. The open-world racing game model has been used many times before, but having an extreme sports version of such races isn't a terrible thing.
