Luckily the controls work very well, considering I played with a Dualshock 4 and not a wheel. For example will Verstappen defend with all he’s got, while Bottas is more evasive in his defending, rather securing the position you overtook him from than risk the entire race.

F1 2018 review series#
Essentially, I found the mirrors completely useless, as they were predominantly an annoyance, instead of a help.Įxcellent news the gameplay in F1 2018 is the best one in the series so far! The physics are more realistic, allowing you to push the car harder before you spin, yet punishing you even harder than before, once the car “goes.”The AI too is a lot smarter than ever before – trying a Danny Ric-dive down the side will almost inevitably end up with you being crashed into. It’s incredibly slow, and has lots and lots of artifacting when you try to see what’s behind you. There’s genuinely just one thing I can complain about, which is the mirrors – and their reflections. F1 2018 does look beautiful though, and is indeed “up there” with the other beauties. Last year I played F1 2017 on PC, so I don’t really know how this year’s edition stacks up, since I now play it on PS4. You can also affect the various departments in your team, for example by praising the engine – which will result in the engine department working more efficiently. Talking with her can affect your standing with both your own team, as well as the others.
Another new thing this year is Claire – the journalist that keeps appearing whenever she feels like ( just like any other journalist in other words ). Getting RnD-points are considerably easier and can now be saved up between seasons. In addition to this last year’s RnD-system has been revamped and now features more fast-paced progression. This allows for Alfa Romeo Sauber ( which I picked as my starter team ) to actually be able to catch up to Mercedes AMG Petronas, which likely wouldn’t be the case if rule changes didn’t happen. This time though, every playthrough is different, as several rule changes might happen between any season. The question really is, does the game live up to its real-life counterpart? Time to find out!Īs its predecessors, F1 2018 features a career mode. In my mind F1 ( the real thing) has never been more fun to watch, the cars are faster around the tracks than ever, and now they all support thongs ( the halos) – it’s almost as good as when they featured sextoys on the front! Anyways, I digress. Acquired: A copy of this game was provided from publisher for review purpose
