Year over year, Codemasters releases their annual Formula One game slightly earlier than the last, and this one doesn’t lock-up on entry. This year’s game feels like a course correction, and while I wouldn’t label anything from last year a miss, there were some decisions that definitely didn’t land how you’d want. So this year, gone is F1 Life and now F1 World is in its place, and it’s like a theme park celebration of all things Formula One that makes things more exciting than ever. The earlier release date means that F1 23 races to deliver on every front.
Formula One was acquired by Liberty Media in 2017, who brought new eyes to the sport and made it much more appealing. I have the exact same thoughts towards F1 22 where the full influence of EA’s purchase of Codemasters can really be felt with this entry. It’s a lot flashier, full of energy, and has “trax” blaring in the menus that’s undeniably EA. For the second year in a row, Codemaster’s Formula One game has come out even earlier than the year before it. As a result, some areas it does feel rushed and a bit buggy, but they’re absolutely minor to the fact that the racing is top tier. Codemasters are again in top form, and F1 22 is an excellent racing game that’s an easy victory for fans of the sport, and aims to make you a fan if you aren’t already.
