As the leaves fall and the weather in the UK turns distinctly more wintery, the season mists and mellow fruitfulness has come to Forza Horizon 5. With the switch of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 14 moving to Autumn we see more from the Donut Media circus, as well as all our weekly favourites getting an airing.

A new season, a new direction again for Forza Horizon 5 as the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 14 - Summer play out. This time, fresh from the celebration of their 10 year anniversary that was found throughout Series 13, FH5 has teamed up with something called “Donut Media”.

The Last Oricru is a bit of a mixed bag, even if it is mostly one filled with goodies.

Silver Nornir is an interesting entry into the KEMCO stable.

Spring has sprung and Forza Horizon 5 moves from the land down under to the wet and windy UK, as Series 13 continues the Anniversary theme to bring back memories of Forza Horizon 4. 

At the end of the day, if you liked Overwatch, you’ll like Overwatch 2, or Overwatch 1.5 as it should probably be.

There’s a chance that you’ll have had enough of 41 Hours after just 41 minutes, never mind the 20+ hours that are claimed for full completion.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a deep, serious game that needs a lot of time investment, but if you can find that time it is unlikely that you will feel short changed, what with the sheer amount of content on display. 

Forza Horizon 5 moves to Australia and into Winter with Series 13 of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges and once more you’ll find yourself needing some new cars and tunes to help with their completion. 

Super Mario Kart, when it launched, was a tour de force of Nintendo graphical whizz-bangery

Series 13 of Forza Horizon 5’s Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges continues on and this week we move from the Summer scene of Colorado to that of Autumn, rocking up in Europe as Forza Horizon 2’s cover star Lamborghini Huracan comes to the fore. 

Dragon Prana is pretty much business as usual for KEMCO - expect a retro style and a decent story, and you’ll not be far from what makes these games tick. 

Persona 5 Royal is as close to the perfect RPG as I have played in a long time. Not since the heady days of Final Fantasy VII will a game grip you so fiercely, refusing to let go. It is deep, it is beautiful and it demands to be played. 

Can you believe it has been ten years since Forza Horizon first zoomed onto our Xbox 360’s? Fast forward a decade and here we are in Series 13 of Forza Horizon 5’s Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges.

If you like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, All-Star Battle R is probably an easy sell, as it is if you are predominantly a solo player. But if you want to test your might against the world, there are significant issues.
