Alright, folks, let’s talk about F1 23. I’ve been a fan of the series for a while, and I finally decided to take it.
First off, I started by downloading the game. It took a while because my internet is not the best, but hey, what can you do? After it was all set up, I jumped right into it. The first thing I noticed was the new F1 World mode. It’s kinda like Ultimate Team in other sports games, and I gotta say, it’s pretty cool. I spent a good few hours just messing around in this mode, building my team, and racing. It felt fresh, you know?
Then, I checked out the career mode. It’s kinda the same as before, not much has changed there. But, there’s this Braking Point story mode that continues from F1 2021, and it’s actually pretty fun. I got invested in the characters and the drama, which is not something I expected from a racing game.
Now, let’s talk about the actual driving.
They really improved the handling. Going around corners feels so much better than the older games. I remember in F1 22, it felt kinda clunky sometimes, but in F1 23, it’s smooth as butter. I tested this out on a bunch of tracks, there are 26 tracks, and each one felt great.
The AI is also smarter. They don’t just follow a line; they actually try to overtake and defend. I had some really intense battles, especially on the harder difficulties. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s definitely a step up.
I also tried playing with a gamepad. I usually use a wheel, but I wanted to see how it felt for people who don’t have one. And honestly, it’s the best it’s ever been. If you’re a gamepad player, you’re gonna love this game.
- Started by downloading and installing F1 23.
- Jumped into the new F1 World mode and spent hours building my team and racing.
- Tried out the career mode, which felt familiar but had the added fun of the Braking Point story.
- Tested the driving mechanics and found the handling to be much improved, especially around corners.
- Noticed the AI was more intelligent, providing more challenging and realistic races.
- Tried playing with a gamepad and was impressed with the handling, making it great for those without a wheel.
Here’s the deal.
If you’re into F1 and you’ve been playing the older games, F1 23 is a solid buy. It’s got enough new stuff to keep you hooked, and the improvements to the driving make it worth it alone. But if you’re new to the series, you can’t go wrong with this one either. It’s a great starting point. If you already have F1 23 and are thinking about F1 24, maybe wait a bit. F1 24 is good, but it’s not a huge leap from F1 23. You might as well wait for a sale.
So, yeah, that’s my take on F1 23. It’s a blast, and I’ve been having a ton of fun with it. I think you will too.
