F1 2016

After two disappointing games back to back (2014-2015),Codies stepped up their game and made an excellent upgrade with 2016, like learning that they shouldn't had removed Career mode to begin with. The game feels immersive enough from the presentation,animations and the handling of the cars. Sadly no classic cars but there is still enough content and enough Carpg elements that can hold you for hours and multiple seasons/careers if you so desire. In my case since I am playing with a keyboard,I did need some assists to not become the sBinalla meme 24/7 but even with some assists on,the car was still challenging enough to handle on most circuits (looking at you Monaco). As for my Career,I played on Hard difficulty since that felt like a perfect balance btw too easy nor too hard and wanted to RP as the returning champion who carried Haas to their WDC. As for my Haas,I can only describe it as nimble quick but really loose,especially corners. After a dramatic season,I ended up winning the championship barely after many tense battles and some DNFs (I was taken out in each one of those lmao). For the negatives,there is no classic cars yet,which at the time only 2013 had those,the commentary can get repetitive alongside with post race animations so most of the time I ended up skipping them. Also whoever designed the Tyre Management programme needs a fist in their face,which is basically impossible on keyboard. Also cars sound really bad but that's more of a fault to the irl regulations that replaced the V8s with the V6s which did sound really terrible at the time. Also underrated soundtrack, especially the Accelerate Time ones. Overall if you are a fan of F1, you should try this game one way...or the other. (Thanks EA) [h1] 8/10 [/h1]

This game finally abandoned the tropes of its predecessors, and with the much applauded departure of the creative black hole that was Stephen Hood, went on to build the career mode that ALL racing games need to learn from. Pretty mid game. Recommending for career mode alone.
