PS4 Game Review: F1 2018

 F1 2018 is another in the gaming dynasty of F1 that Codemasters came out with.  Just a few years after the disastrous F1 2015 took center stage, it's apparent that starting at F1 2016 that they were looking to massively rebrand their game after 2015.  That is still much evident in F1 2018.  I overall played as Williams in my career mode and this is what I got from the game.

Positives:

1. Graphics- From the team tent, to the track, to the cars and the stands as well as the scenery around the track everything is exquisite and that is something that I felt glad about with the graphics overall with the racing game.

2. Career Mode- I thought that the career mode was done fairly well.  With not just racing but meeting with the team, with media, goals of the team and for yourself as well.  Everything was good overall I felt.

3. Development tree- I thought the development tree with the car was really good and I know they kept that going in future games but overall I enjoyed this game with that to see what upgrades you should make with the game.

4. Invitationals- This is a nice edition to the game in career mode and it allows for cooler cars to take place and having retro cars as well.  It is something that is good to be had.  So it is a nice mini-game for lack of better words.

Negatives:

1. Easy difficulty- I was in the worst car, but ended up winning the championship in my one and only season playing on a hard difficulty.  I don't know why it was easy for me to win and I honestly couldn't give you an explanation to be fair.  I was kind of shocked when that happened but it felt too easy to do well on and I felt that this was a major struggle to really understand why I did well on a hard difficulty with a bad car.

Overall Rating

This is a massive step up from previous F1 games and this is no different and they continued to get better.  However I can't get past just how easy this is on a hard difficulty and overall it isn't a major challenge to win a championship I felt.  It's just something that happens and I hope if I play the games in the future they would have a harder difficulty.

Overall Rating: 8 out of 10
