  F1 2018 may not be the next be landmark game in the series, but Codemasters have continued to develop and improve the franchise, making it more involved for those that care and more fun for those that don’t and it is these changes, and their commitment to making these games as appealing as possible, that continue to cement them as one of the best driving game developers out there.

  Codemasters continues to inch forward with their F1 series. If they ever get around to adding the missing features noted above, this franchise could take a legitimate run at the F1 racing sim crown down the road.

  It is without a doubt the best F1 game yet. Whether or not to purchase it if you own previous versions will be up to you. For gamers new to the world of F1 racing it's a no-brainer to go with the latest and greatest version, although there's probably enough changes under the hood here to justify an upgrade from F1 2017 for returning fans.

  F1 2018 is brilliant, and the most complete Formula One game to date. The changes to career mode make it the strongest and most appealing it’s ever been thanks to the revamped upgrade system, while the simulation-like additions to the driving model bring you closer than ever to the feeling of sitting on the grid with 1000+ horsepower at your feet, without overwhelming those who just want to jump in and drive.

  The improvements to F1 2018 since the already-impressive F1 2017 are largely incremental and often very subtle – and there are still a few areas where it’s openly coasting on previous efforts – but F1 2018 features the finest handling and force feedback for a dedicated F1 game to date, some welcome visual improvements, and a career mode that does a better job than ever at capturing the nuances of the world’s most-popular motorsport.

  Like a yearly sports release, which I guess is what it is, F1 2018 feels like a refinement of last year’s title rather than an entirely new game. Career mode has some decent new additions, but I’m not sure they’re enough to make the game a worthwhile purchase for those who already own F1 2017. And changes to the handling and visuals are only really apparent under close scrutiny.

  Despite some very minor issues, F1 2018 is the best of its kind, and certainly the best in the series so far. The high level of visual and audio detail, grouped with the care and attention to authenticity, collectively makes for an experience that’s robust, faithful and deep. Codemasters’ subtle yet noticeable changes over F1 2017 takes an already distinguished racer and makes it bigger and better than ever.

  Quite how Codemasters has managed to top last year's incredible effort is quite beyond me, but F1 2018 manages to eclipse F1 2017, delivering an even more definitive and just as essential Formula One game that fans will 'lap' up. Get it bought.

  Despite a fleet of minor improvements, I don’t feel inspired to sink another hundred hours into this game after doing it last year, because for all the halos and journalists, it’s broadly the same experience again.

  With challenging racing and a diverse car management system, F1 2018 is filled with endless opportunity. Although undeniably similar to last season’s effort, small changes have improved the overall experience enough to merit a revisit. And, ultimately, F1 2018 takes the chequered flag as the best F1 instalment to date.
