Rollercoaster vibe check, this sure looks scary but a fun thing to do (Image via Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels) My journey with the new Forza Horizon 5 DLC at the spot where the Hot Wheels outposts lie. Expecting to see a normal outpost outside Mexico, I was astonished as I was teleported to a new world. This racing world exists in the sky, with tracks stretching long and looping in multiple areas. This new map is sectioned into three significant parts or biomes: Giants Canyon, Ice Cauldron, and Forest Falls. Each of these areas blends with the other smoothly, and every track within these areas is complex and fun to traverse through.

However, unlike Mexico, this new world is built with a closed circuit layout, so gamers do not easily fall out of the map. This new setting was fascinating for me as I came to see every childhood fantasy in a high-definition simulation. This new map is full of surprises, like the slippery ice track that requires a lot of control in some areas. Having some variations with the tracks made this DLC feel like a non-linear racing world with many opportunities to pull off cool stunts here and there.

Even though I couldn’t finish the entire expansion, every event was exciting, and race tracks were fun to traverse. Unlike the base game’s physics, racing in this DLC feels slightly more grippy, and the traction is much better. It wasn’t disorienting when going through loops and gave a pleasant overall experience. Compared to the base title, the campaign is slightly shorter in the new DLC. However, for its pricing, it is surely enough to satisfy gamers with additional exclusive content.

However, one concern needs to be pointed out, and that is about the game’s Photo Mode in this DLC. It was difficult for me to move with the camera at some angles when manually taking photos.

Nonetheless, the quality of each photo-realistic snap is spot-on, and users can capture some great moments.
