F1 2017 is a game that's as much fun to think about as it is to play, and as intriguing to plan out and strategize as it is to race. And it is a lot of fun to race, because so much of F1 2017's enjoyment comes from things built up over time, not the year-to-year bullet-point features of video gaming.

F1 2017 is another superbly authentic recreation of modern F1. However, the sport's current complexity will be overwhelming for most, and the returning classic content is nowhere near as good as it should be.

A good racing games that doesn't take any kind of risks but still it's one of the best F1 emulation ever (but not the best racing sim).

F1 2017 is only suitable for those who know and are in love with the world of Formula 1. They would absolutely enjoy every second of the game. However, it’s not recommended for those who are not familiar with this type of racing; they’d better go after other racing titles.

Although not as impenetrable to newcomers as earlier entries, F1 2017 in some ways falls victim to the curse of annual releases; with such a rigid release schedule in place the opportunity to meaningfully expand upon last year's effort is reduced and often the best you get is possibly a new mechanic and a whole heap of fine-tuning of established mechanics.

Unpredictable and challenging yet deeply rewarding, the range of modes and options available make for what is Codemasters' finest outing since they picked up the license.

As with any new Formula One game, we expect changes and upgrades to the previous iteration. With F1 2017 Codemasters has taken a massive step forward towards realism and with the talk of a VR version, we can expect amazing things from future F1 games. The Championship Mode and dynamic team rivalries...

One of the best formula one racing simulator that is currently available on the market. Codemasters have managed to outdo their own work.

Overall, F1 2017 is another successful title from Codemasters. Those who enjoy F1 will find what they wanted in this game. But gaining this experience will be a very challenging task for newer players that can force them to quit playing

If you’re a die-hard petrol-head like me, F1 2017 is an absolute must-buy. As fun as I’m sure the upcoming Forza 7 on Xbox One and GT Sport on PS4 will be this year, there are few experiences as exhilarating as driving an F1 monster of a car through the twisting streets of Monaco, and Codemasters’ newest entry delivers the definitive experience.

With several improvements, F1 2017 is more beautiful and more complex than F1 2016. A great game, but not yet a masterpiece.

Codemasters succeeds in doing better this year with a game which almost improves on all levels. The redesign of R&D through the integration of a huge tree of competence justifies many hours of play, while the addition of historical cars will fulfill the expectations of many fans. However, with all this great work on one side, it is disapointing to see such old graphics on the other side. Nevertheless, F1 2017 is an excellent game close to perfection, which will keep you in front of your TV until the next edition.

F1 2017 is the best in the series and arguably one of Codemasters best titles. A few minor flaws slightly blemish what is a brilliant game, which looks, sounds and feels fantastic to play. Furthermore, a more extensive career mode with a host of other modes gives the game great variety and longevity.

In short, we can say that F1 2017 is a game that satisfies the most palatied, both the happiest and the most casual. In short, a title designed for the majority that is able to offer more arcade sessions to almost realistic sessions. Excellent car feedback and attention to details. In short, a title definitely to have if you like this!
