Beautiful and fun racer with a couple of caveats that pretty much destroy it for me as a game to be enjoyed and finished.
1) Complete absence of progression as a game design principle. H5 hands out cars like dirt. In the first couple of hours, I had maybe 10 of 'em, many of which were the types of cars you'd only see in the final hours of other (good) games. At some point there are so many cars, that you are no longer able to care about anything.
2) The cringiest writing and annoying amounts of it. H5 feels the need to push a variety of insufferable individuals in your face at every turn, all the time. It'll make you feel like Daniel Plainview! (put that on the box)
3) The single most uncool goody two shoes vibes I've ever felt while playing a racing game. In this game everyone is a tool, you are a tool, and nothing is cool! You will yearn for the 00's edge lord street racing culture like it's a woman you loved and lost to a terrible car crash.
