The first reviews of F1 24 have come out, and it's safe to say that Codemasters' new racing game has been well received.
F1 24 has received ratings from 9/10 to 7/10. The average rating after 18 reviews on Opencritic is 82%. Some reviewers are delighted with EA's game, but there are also critics.
F1 24 gets the brunt of the lack of a story mode, which F1 23 has.
The editors of Xbox Achievements and Metro GameCentral (9/10) claim that the game “even beats F1 23, which seemed impossible.” According to Xbox Achievements, Codemasters has achieved the best driving model in the series' history, while the graphics are even better.

An interesting analysis of the new driving model has been done on YouTube by Alex Gillon, who calls the changes in F1 24 “a big step in the wrong direction”. In Alex's opinion, Codemasters has gone too far in the arcade direction.
