Welcome, speed demons and couch potatoes alike! If you’ve ever dreamed of blasting around a racetrack mowing down voiceless enemies (and maybe some cones), then slap your controllers together because F1 2017 is here to fill those fast-paced fantasies! This game isn’t just about picking your favorite driver and thumping the circle button like your life depends on it—oh no, it actually packs character and story arcs worthy of a daytime soap opera... kind of. Strap in as we speed through the twists and turns of this racing spectacle!
In F1 2017, players can choose from a roster of 20 of the fastest drivers in the universe (okay, maybe the planet), including famous names like Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Fernando Alonso—who, I regret to inform you, has no special powers, only a really fast car. The gameplay is so detailed you might mistake it for an expensive tome on aerodynamics or car physics! You'll fine-tune your car's nutty bits while racing against others with remarkably less wrenching skills. Gamers can also engage in a rich career mode where choices matter, with your actions leading to everything from sweet sponsorship deals to R-rated meltdowns in the pits! And don’t worry, he who has a strong thumb can also battle it out online with friends or enemies—just don’t expect a sweet reunion after you barge the competition off the track into the proverbial pit of despair.
Now let’s talk about eye candy because, let’s face it, we all love it! F1 2017 delivers graphics that make your ex’s Instagram feed look like it was shot on a toaster. With crisp visuals that capture every detail of the cars and the racetracks (we’re talking about textures so realistic you’ll start thinking oil stains are part of the design) and weather conditions that can make you feel like you’re driving through a sauna or a torrential downpour. These graphics will make you forget your dreams of being a professional racecar driver... because you can do it all from your sofa (while still wearing pajamas). Absolutely intoxicating!
F1 2017 effortlessly combines the thrill of high-octane racing with the drama and depth of a story that would impress even the most discerning connoisseur of soap operas. The detail in the gameplay is rich enough to satisfy your inner gearhead, while the graphics are dazzling enough to make you forget how terrible you are at actually driving in real life. With a solid multiplayer experience and a career mode that feels significant, it’s a ride worth taking. So, in the spirit of good measure: if you love fast cars, dramatic rivalries, and the impeccable art of rubber-burning, grab a copy of F1 2017 and feel the wind (or the A/C) in your hair! It’s a race you don’t want to miss!
