Forza Horizon 5.
We thought we’d be free of the pandemic in 2021… and how wrong we were. Thankfully, some things never change — Stevivor’s Game of the Year awards are back and as reliable as ever.
We’re kicking off this year’s awards program with Best Sports or Racing honours, and that prize goes to Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 5.
“Overall, this is a Forza Horizon game in every sense of the word, and shows off the best of what Horizon can be,” Alice wrote in her 10/10 review. “It’s fun, only structured if you want it to be, and seems to exist purely to make sure you have a good time. What more could you want?”
Stevivor’s GOTY 2021 runs straight through until the end of the year — you can check out a schedule below.
Congratulations to Playground and Microsoft for the win!
