So the map is way more interesting than the UK. It feels like Australia, but better, which is great. The races seem better laid out and the activities are decent enough too.
What's not interesting is the car list. It's unbelievably stale at this point and is in need of an overhaul before FH6. The customization is in a bad need of a redo as well. The new wheels are great and I like that changing parts make your vehicle sound different, but the body modification options are still pretty dreadful. I'm sure there's only so much they can do with licensing and whatnot, but some of it is just bad. The music is pretty meh too, especially when Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow started playing.
Overall, I think it's going to be a decently fun game and I'm sure I'll keep playing it for the foreseeable future. There are just some really weak spots in it. Hopefully, the Car Pass changes that somewhat along with whatever expansions they offer. I'm looking forward to see how they do the seasons too and I really hope they don't pull a "well would you look at that, it's snowing in Mexico!" Keep the snow at the higher elevations and have it be the rainy season in the lower elevations and it'll be good.
