You will experience the excitement of driving the car of Lewis Hamilton, Checo Pérez and Max Verstappen in
F1 2021
, undoubtedly the best and most attractive installment of a Formula 1 game in recent years.
The launch of
F1 2021
was on July 16 and is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as well as in the digital stores of both companies.
In
CNN Underscored in Spanish
we were able to test the video game in its version for Xbox Series X and this is our analysis:
The great success: the story mode
Braking Point is the name given to the new story mode in which the protagonist is Aiden Jackson, a young driver that you will take control of and take him from his last race in F2 to his first two seasons on the maximum circuit of the F1.
And this mode has important challenges because being a rookie you will have to develop skills to be able to overtake your teammate and overcome rivals from other teams.
This modality brings a lot of freshness to the video game compared to the previous year and will surely be a good starting point for the following years.

But within this mode there is also a touch of drama that takes you beyond the progression on the track of your character.
It also focuses on the narrative and rivalries you will have with other drivers as seen in the Netflix documentary series
Drive to Survive,
which hooks beginning gamers.
You can also play in My Team mode, which came in last year's video game, and in which you can manage your team, sponsors and drivers because now you must balance your emotions so that they perform better.
If you buy the deluxe edition of the game, you can recruit legends like Felipe Massa and Michael Schumacher.
Gameplay
The controls are simpler than in its predecessor regardless of the level of difficulty chosen except in the part where you want to communicate or ask your team for instructions during a race, as it is difficult to press the B button and scroll through the menu, while pressing the RT trigger to accelerate.
I preferred to set the game camera in first person to have more immersion and a more realistic look.
In addition, I used the HyperX Flight Wireless headphones for Xbox and could clearly appreciate the roar of the engines, the sound of the brake, the indications of my team and even the rain in the background.
I recommend playing it with headphones to have this most authentic oque of the game.
Regarding the graphic part,
F1 2021
complies well with the effects of realism thanks to technologies such as raytracing that is more evident when you take a photo from the control, with which spectacular images can be achieved.
The modeling of cars, scenarios and drivers are very detailed.

Conclution
F1 2021
is a good game for the new generation of consoles, on Xbox Series X it performs with great sound and graphic quality.
Without a doubt, the best thing about this title is the novelty of the story mode that makes it catch you and will leave you behind the wheel for a couple of hours.
The game has a good balance between entertainment, action and the best simulation made for consoles of the ultimate motorsport party.
