Best Sports/Racing Games of 2020
Second Runner-Up: F1 2020
Deputy Guides Editor Tom Hopkins: Although the real world Formula One season was a bit of a mess and the races included weren’t what was expected, Codemasters F1 2020 continued their trend of upping their game with every title they release based on the fastest motorsport around.
With the expanded MyTeam mode, new split-screen options, standard Career mode, and various time trials to tackle, it’s the most complete F1 package ever released.
On top of the added features, the actual driving feels better than ever. The cars are responsive, quick, and stick to the track, allowing you to push them to the limit around every corner.
It’s also the most accessible hardcore racing sim on the market. With a 125 point difficulty scale, various driver aids you can turn on and off at any time, and more, you can mould F1 2020 into whatever experience you want.
If you’re after something to really test your ability, maybe to pair with a wheel set-up, or a sit back and relax kind of racer, you can mould F1 2020 into that, without losing the great tactile feel.
With the Formula One world seeing a load of driver and team changes for the new season, as well as some sort of schedule normality, hopefully Codemasters’ next F1 game takes yet another step forward.
