It’s best you just discover it all for yourself in what might be the Xbox Series X|S’ crown jewel. We haven’t even talked about the myriad multiplayer modes, or user-created events, or the fact you can change your driver’s name to Potato. It’s all ridiculously fun, and the single-player offering is bolstered further by story-driven “adventure” events that ensure you get to drive the best cars very fast while actually learning a bit about Mexico in the process. Playground Game’s immaculate open-world racing series has been close to perfect since the third entry, so when we first booted up Forza Horizon 5there wasn’t much going on that we didn’t expect.īut why mess with something already so brilliant? In Horizon 5 we leave the rolling, sheep-lined fields of Great Britain and head to Mexico for another brash and suspiciously moneyed racing tournament that has you competing in all manner of motoring events, from jungle dirt races to street racing through moonlit countryside towns. The outrageous consistency of the Forza Horizon series makes it easy to take its games for granted.

If you’re looking for something to play with a friend or partner, you won’t find anything better than It Takes Two. We hate to make the lazy comparison, but it really looks like a playable Pixar film at times, and while we didn’t feel compelled to find out how the story resolved itself, we made sure we saw every one of its vibrant levels. Whether you’re firing well-aimed nails into the wall for your partner to swing on, taking part in some synchronised rail grinding, or flying a plane while the other player fights a squirrel in a 2D fighting mini-game, this brilliant action-adventure game just never runs out of ideas. Co-operative multiplayer games are nothing new, but It Takes Two does more with the genre than any game we’ve played before. Neither are particularly likeable characters and It Takes Two’s narrative is definitely the weakest aspect of the game, but you should overlook that because everything else is pretty superb. You and your partner play as a pair of soon-to-be divorced parents who are forced to work together when they’re transformed into their daughter’s toys. Josef Fares has been a innovating with co-op experiences since he becoming a game designer, and It Takes Two is probably the best of the bunch.
