Forza Horizon 5 vs Need for Speed Heat: Which Is Better on a Treadmill or Bike?

Forza Horizon 5 wins on our scores, 2.7 to 2.3. Both scored a 3 for treadmill and bike, so you cant go too wrong with either.

Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 is an open world racer set in Mexico. It is forgiving, there is a lot to do, and you can use a rewind when you mess up a turn. That makes it easy to keep going when you are tired.

Need for Speed Heat

Need for Speed Heat splits things into day races and night runs where the cops chase you. It works well during a workout, since it is mostly steering and accelerating. It scored lower than Forza on gameplay.

Which should you play?

Pick Forza Horizon 5 for the better game overall. Pick Need for Speed Heat if police chases sound like more fun than a festival full of events. Either way, a controller makes it easy to play at a steady pace.
