Our F1 22 review reads:

“F1 22 is a game for Formula 1 lovers. It’s not perfect, mind you. Probably Codemasters would have needed a few more months to better integrate all the innovations provided for by the FIA ​​regulations and to refine some graphic elements. Let’s not forget that it is not a real driving simulator. We are still in the middle, in the limbo between sim racing and arcades. However, we cannot consider it a defect. In reality Codemasters’ compromise allows both experts and newbies to enjoy the title, relying on a good level of challenge and a series of mechanics that bring the game closer to reality. In short, this F1 22 is definitely promoted for us. “
