F1 2020 - 70 Jahre F1 Edition (Xbox One/SX)

Codemasters' F1 series continue to put in the mileage, upping the competitiveness, expanding the F2 series and adding the My Team mode for what is the most comprehensive package to date.

The on track experience can be tuned to whatever you want it to be though ample accessibility options, the driving mechanics are somehow better than they’ve ever been, and the modes included are varied and deep. Codemasters’ F1 series is continuing to improve and stake its claim as the best racing game for simulation veterans and newcomers.

F1 2020 is simultaneously the deepest yet most accessible Codemasters Formula One experience to date. The heavy reliance on recycled vignettes and the same old faces we’ve been seeing for virtually an entire generation admittedly means F1 2020 doesn’t necessarily look as fresh as it feels but, between My Team and splitscreen, this is the most fun I’ve had with the F1 series for years.

If it wasn’t for the addition of My Team, F1 2020 would go down as being great for newcomers, but past the best before date for those who have enjoyed recent iterations. Some elements are now very tired, but being able to oversee the running of your own team proves to be incredibly satisfying and just enough of a distraction – for now.
