Many fans were disappointed with the list and claimed that some of the deserving games did not make it. Some felt that games like Resident Evil: Village should have been at the top of the list, while others claimed that the rating for Forza Horizon 5 was unjustified.

This is an agreeable opinion because Forza Horizon 5 indeed had a great start upon release and displayed immense potential to become one of the best games within the series and in race simulation.
