Forza Horizon 6 Reviews
Forza Horizon 6 continues the franchise's winning streak, with Playground Games delivering yet another excellent open world racing game adventure.
Forza Horizon 6 is the series at its best, combining meaningful progression with the franchise's strongest open world yet.
Dreamy vistas of the country's natural beauties are stunningly delivered – but won't distract from thrilling high-end driving adventures
Forza Horizon 5 was already an exceptional racing game, but Forza Horizon 6 takes everything up a notch to deliver an even more engaging, entertaining and all-encompassing experience. There's an absolute wealth of racing, exploring and collecting to do here, and that's before the inevitable live-service updates start adding even more content. Few games are as essential as this.
Forza Horizon 6 is a beautifully crafted game from a studio that knows its craft perfectly: Japan works as a setting, the driving physics are still the best in the genre in an open world, and there's enough content to keep me busy until the next installment.

A celebration of cars, even to a fault.
The Forza Horizon series is still my favorite current racing game series, but the formula is starting to wear out its welcome.
Forza Horizon 6 brings together everything from previous Forza Horizon titles and fine-tunes them to a perfect shine, set in a compressed Japan that is both gorgeous to behold and pure joy to race around.
Forza Horizon 6 is a stunning game that delivers immersion and polish in every single way, other than one, and it's a big one.
Though, for anyone hoping Japan would inspire Playground Games to evolve this series beyond its comfort zone, Forza Horizon 6 is a missed opportunity.
Forza Horizon 6 is a really fun game to play, but how long it can hold your attention will be reliant upon how much you like racing games. For me, it definitely did bring back some of those fond memories from racers back in the day.
Forza Horizon 6 lands the Horizon Festival in Japan with all the polish and ambition you'd expect from Playground Games, delivering one of the most beautifully realized open worlds in the series' history.
Forza Horizon 6 is exactly what we all expected since its reveal, and that's not a bad thing at all.

Boasting a gorgeous map that's filled with delights, slick racing, and some incredible single and multiplayer events, Forza Horizon 6 has, for the most part, iterated for the better. Though lacking vehicle customization holds it back, it is a near-perfect celebration not only of Japanese racing culture, but racing itself that espouses the joy of being behind the wheel. It's a highly polished jack-of-all-trades fiesta, and very nearly a master of all.
Forza Horizon 6 offers an experience that maintains full gameplay continuity with the previous installment, but this isn't meant as a criticism. The core gameplay loop of this four-wheeled adventure is still addictive, with its adrenaline-fueled competitions, skill chains, and car collecting.

Furthermore, there's something important here: Forza Horizon 6 isn't just going to appeal to longtime fans of the series. This game has the potential to also attract players coming from Need for Speed , DIRT , or any other semi-arcade or arcade racing game. Because there's nothing else on the market right now that does this as well as Playground Games does.

An outstanding open-world racing game with one of the best game worlds in the series' history – however, it lacks major new impulses.

The Horizon series is about the friends you made along the way. It is undeniably more of the same, but the thoughtful social additions and inclusion of non-racing activities into the grander Horizon world makes Forza Horizon 6 feel considerably better. Most of all, anyone can play it. And everyone should.
When it comes to opening set pieces, the Forza Horizon games are undefeated. As a statement of intent, they tell you all you need to know – you...
