I like to write long, detailed reviews, but given tthat I have no idea how to review this since I haven't played an F1 game since F1 2012, and I played so little of it I haven't even logged it, I'm just going to write down my thoughts.
The core gameplay is addicting, satisfying to master and very fun, so this deserves at least 3 stars. BUT this is an EA game, so this has a lot of suckiness to it.
- A season pass that A/sucks because it's a season pass B/ sucks because it doesn't even have anything interesting in it
- Menus that feel really lacking
-No tutorial even though watching formula 1 is super hard to understang, let alone actually BEING in a Formula 1 car (I had to look up how to not oversteer during lights out because of how specific it is, yet nothing is there to help you in game)
- An "F1 Life" menu that is really useless and generic.
- Splitscreen is unplayable because the screen is so crunched it can't even show you the UI indicating your speed and, most importantly, WHICH GEAR YOU'RE IN
But again, the core gameplay is fun, feels realistic (from what I can tell) and the career mode has a bit too much content (why should I, a driver, be the one deciding about R&D ? thankfully you can turn that to automated) but is overall enjoyable. It ain't no masterpiece, but I'm happy I bought it. If you don't like formula One though, pass this one.
