F1® Manager 2023

I like that its a different way of thinking and makes u learn leadership

So, I'm writing this review after the game has already been delisted. And since the entire F1 Manager franchise has now been cancelled, I figured I'd give my opinion on all of them. I've played F1 Manager 2022, 2023 and 2024 on Xbox, and both 2023 and 2024 on Steam. In total, I have around 350 hours in this 2023 version, with around 180 hours on Steam at the time of writing. I should also mention that I'm playing with the Extended UI Mod. So, my review: I honestly can't relate to some of the other reviews here on Steam where people complain about the AI suddenly being seconds faster on old tyres, or sticking to their original pit-stop strategy no matter what happens. In my experience, that's simply not the case. If anything, I actually think the AI feels a bit more realistic in this game than it does in the latest 2024 title. And honestly, this is currently one of my favourite games. One thing I really like is that the only sessions you can completely skip are practice and qualifying. You can't just skip the race and let the game simulate everything for you, and personally, I much prefer it that way. I usually only skip Q3. Of course, even if race simulat…

If you enjoy Formula 1 and like management games, F1 Manager 2023 is a surprisingly addictive experience. Instead of driving the car yourself, you're the one making all the important decisions—race strategy, pit stops, tire choices, car development, driver contracts, and trying to keep everyone happy while staying under budget. There's something really satisfying about making the perfect strategy call and watching your driver climb through the field. Of course, there's also the pain of watching a safety car come out one lap after you pit... The game isn't perfect. Some systems can become repetitive after multiple seasons, and there are moments where you'll wish your drivers would stop finding creative ways to ruin a good race. But overall, it's a fun management game that captures the feeling of running an F1 team. If you've ever watched a race and thought, "I could've made a better strategy call," this is your chance to prove it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to explain to my driver why boxing for hard tires with two laps to go was definitely the right decision...

Not as good as 2022, but was still decent

Not a bad game to play.

Game loop is quite fun but it lacks negative development, its so easy to make your car the fastest within 1 season.
