F1 2016 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
The annual release of a Formula One game usually comes with the hope that Codemasters has finally made a worthy F1 racing title. On release, these
F1 2016 is an exceptional game. While there are a few minuscule issues with A.I, these happened so sparingly that they had little to no effect on how much I was enjoying the game. The career mode is the shining star of the whole package; it’s so good it’s hard to think what they could add to it for the next game. It’s taking a few years, but Codemasters have finally got it very nearly perfect. Formula One 2016 is one of the best racing games I have ever played, and it’s certainly the best F1 game I’ve played since Codemasters took over six years ago.
F1 nerds and racing fans, get ready for the best F1 game ever conceived.
F1 2016 is definitively the best Formula One game Codemasters has ever crafted. Deep and nuanced, stuffed with fan service, and as demanding as you’d like it to be, this is worthy fare for the motorsport obsessed while remaining accessible for the merely curious, and absolutely worth the upgrade from previous years. If F1 2016 and last year’s Dirt Rally are indicative of the level of quality we’re going to get from Codemasters going forward I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Exceptional racing that successfully captures the excitement of race weekend.
F1 2016 is the latest installment in the Formula One racing series and will include the most immersive career mode ever featured in the franchise.
With a gratifying campaign mode and a racing experience that had me physically leaning my body into every turn, Codemasters have created a racing game that provides a gripping experience from start to finish. I may not start getting up in the wee hours of the morning to start following the Formula 1 championship but I’ll happily take F1 2016 for a spin anytime.
Unlike real Formula One, Codemasters listened to the fans - and as a result have produced one of the finest F1 games in their history.
While I’d find this game hard to recommend to a casual racing fan, those looking for a challenge will certainly find it in Codemasters’ latest foray into the racing genre. The meticulously researched and replicated F1 scene will be a delight to gamers searching for a realistic experience, and who don’t mind a little research before they get ready to leave their opponents in the dust. The depth available in F1 2016 is staggering, and the difficulty can ramp up to ludicrous levels. I’m impressed with the excellent work that Codemasters put into the latest addition of the F1 series, and I…
Avoiding the series’ recent downward slide, F1 2016 has managed to revitalize the series with the return of Career mode in one of its best entries to date.
The current generation of cars are slower and quieter than those Lewis Hamilton drove to his first world title in 2008. Even Bernie Ecclestone says watching a grands prix today is like turning up at a Rolling Stone concert and finding Mick Jagger has lost his voice.
