Forza Horizon 5 Review: The Perfect Racing Game for Kenyan Drivers
Forza Horizon 5 is set in Mexico but it captures the spirit of African driving culture better than any racing game before it.

Forza Horizon 5 is the best open-world racing game ever made. For Kenyan players who have spent years watching international racing games ignore African road culture entirely, there is something validating about an open world that embraces off-road, rally, and urban driving equally.
The Open World
Mexico in Forza Horizon 5 is enormous and diverse — desert, jungle, beach, city, and volcano biomes all within one map. Driving through all of it never gets old because the road surfaces, weather, and elevation changes keep every route feeling different.
The Logitech G923 Experience
Forza Horizon 5 is the game that shows why the Logitech G923 racing wheel (available at GameStop Kenya) exists. TRUEFORCE feedback translates the road surface to your hands — tarmac, gravel, and dirt feel genuinely different. If you own a wheel, this is your showcase game.
Online and Social
Multiplayer races, co-op exploration, and a Playlist event system give the game a live-service structure that keeps it fresh. Cross-platform play between Xbox and PC means you can race against friends regardless of their setup.
