    With the new handling model, Braking Point 2 and F1 World, F1 2023 has the fresh coat of paint the series has needed for some time. For the first time in a while, I can see myself dusting my wheel off and racing rather than settling for just commentating.

    Ultimately, F1 23 remains a great racing game, more accessible than ever for newcomers, more authentic than ever, more customizeable, and most notably featuring the comeback of the excellent Braking Point story mode. It is by all means an iterative upgrade with not many standout features, but the unified F1 World experience and various smart changes make F1 23 a worthy addition to F1 fans’ libraries.

    The foundations that F1 23 lays are unbeatable. The gameplay brings us the best driving experience we can have with an F1 game. F1 World ends up being an addition that completely changes the perception that we can have of the game and that will hook everyone, achieving what they failed to do last year with F1 Life. However, the final result is marred by its technical issues.

    There is no doubt that F1 23 is an absolutely brilliant game. It sounds fantastic, looks spectacular and has rarely offered such an entertaining, accessible experience. Regardless of whether you're an already devoted fan or a curious newbie. F1 has rarely been better.

    F1 23 builds on its solid foundation and significantly improves both the controls and feedback of the cars, while the returning story-mode Braking Point continues to have its weak points.

    EA SPORTS F1 23 continues the series’ legacy of being the definitive F1 racing experience for gamers. With the updates made to braking, accelerating, and cornering, as well as Precision Drive technology for controller players, the game plays smoother than ever and can easily be enjoyed by players of all skill and interest levels. Braking Point also makes a return with another drama-filled story.

    There is plenty of novelty here to attract seasoned F1 game pros and newcomers, who may start off with F1 World. It’s technically magnificent: it looks and feels incredible, and its off-track production values are sky-high. Sure, the continued presence of loot boxes – seemingly de rigueur in any EA Sports game these days – cheapens it slightly, but at least it doesn’t force them upon you too brashly.

    F1 23 is an excellent representation of the highest European racing class. The races offer excitement and sensation, strategy pays off more than ever and Verstappen wins – as good as always. The theatrical storytelling in Braking Point focuses on pressing issues in elite sports and provides a great introduction to the otherwise excellent gameplay. The new F1 World lays the foundation for a live service. This provides hours of entertainment, but is also obviously designed to keep you in the F1 ecosystem for as long as possible. That incentive is superfluous: F1 23 is rock solid even without this kind of fuss.

    The British studio Codemasters publishing a Formula 1 game every year is something we are used to. As such, the anticipation was high, and it would be a euphemism to say we were not knocked off our feet. The sequel to the Story mode, Breaking Point, keeps us on the edge of our seats right to the end. The new, highly ambitious F1 World mode allows you to spend countless hours fine-tuning your car, with the intention of competing against other drivers. But none of this would be possible without the improvements made to the handling of our F1 car. To our delight, this title is undoubtedly the pinnacle of what Codemasters can offer us. Whether you appreciate the world of Formula 1 or not, it is a must-have game in your library!

    This game is way more enjoyable than last year's game with a good story mode to play and it returns the characters that was in breaking pointThis game is way more enjoyable than last year's game with a good story mode to play and it returns the characters that was in breaking point on f1 2021.
