F1 2016

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.

There are far fewer AI wobbles in this edition. I occasionally found some strategy suggestions nonsensical, and I saw 18 cars pile into one another because of one small mistake from Williams’ Felipe Massa at a race in Monte Carlo, but these were infrequent enough that I laughed at them, rather than felt they ruined my race.

All in all F1 2016 is still a very good racing game, and thanks to the new additions appearing this year it's a great simulation of the sport. It's a vast improvement over last year's game, in no small part due to fact that the career mode is back, hopefully on a permanent basis this time. They could certainly have done even more with it, but it works pretty well, and it's essential for the full, true Formula 1 experience.
