Forza Horizon 6 delivers one of the series’ strongest settings yet, blending Japan’s car culture, gorgeous seasonal design, and generous progression with familiar racing thrills. Lingering AI and convoy issues remain, but they rarely dull the ride.

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.

There’s little left to say about a sequel this impressive - if you have even the slightest love for cars or Japan, this is a game you simply can’t afford to miss.

The new Forza Horizon in a new region was enough for many people, and they got exactly what they wanted. The sixth installment offers an improved progression system, more social elements and other innovations that make this game even harder to put away than its predecessors.

Forza Horizon 6 does not strip the whole thing down and do a full rebuild. It just polishes the bodywork, does some tuning, a few choice upgrades here and there. It takes a great car and makes it better.

Forza Horizon 6 delivers what is easily the series' most complete experience to date. The Japanese map is amazing; a joy to explore - and the location's visuals are off the charts too, across the board. Whilst I'd have liked to see a bit more in terms of new races and event types, particularly in the Tokyo region, there's still so much fun to be had here that it's more of a nitpick than anything else. Forza Horizon fans are going to have so much fun with this sixth iteration, and that's not to mention how much the game will change and evolve over time as Playground Games keeps adding to it. Horizon Japan is officially here, and I feel like I'm going to be playing this game for years to come.

Forza Horizon has been a beloved series for many years, and it’s also one of my personal favorites that has consistently stayed at the top. Especially if you enjoy racing games, this is definitely a game you shouldn’t miss. Because right now, it’s the most refined, most entertaining, and largest racing game you can find on the market. With its pure driving enjoyment, unique Japanese atmosphere, and seemingly endless pool of content, it stands as an undisputed leader.

Have I been waiting for Forza Horizon 6 to bring us to a country I watched far too many NHK documentaries about? Yes, yes, I was. Was it everything I hoped it would be? For the most part, also yes. Forza Horizon still has some of the highest quality open-world racing around, blended into a chock world full of things to do and a pretty robust end game once you are the cream of the crop.

This is still, by and large, the pinnacle of the racing genre, a game with a sheer ludicrous amount of content and quality. It is just a game released after the franchise had already peaked, so there’s no other direction but downwards for it. It could have done a bit more with its Japan-centered setting, and its progression system is starting to get a bit old at this point. With that being said, I’ve been playing it for nearly a hundred hours up to this point. There’s a lot to love in it. Looks great, sounds fantastic, controls like a dream. There’s still nothing like a Forza Horizon game. Even when it’s inferior to its predecessors, it’s still much better than its peers.

Forza Horizon 6 is the culmination of a formula and a studio that knew how to listen to its target audience in order to evolve. Although the franchise still carries the ghost of limited visual customization (often due to rigid licensing agreements) and occasional AI problems, the impeccable performance and lighting, with or without ray tracing, make this title a must-have work of art for any speed enthusiast.

The Forza Horizon series is still my favorite current racing game series, but the formula is starting to wear out its welcome.

Playground Games has proven once again that they are not only the kings of the racing genre, but that the core formula of the Forza Horizon series is so strong that they barely need to reinvent it. Forza Horizon 6 is the complete racing package, delivering everything fans could want and more. It's hard to imagine how Playground Games can improve on this formula going forward, but if their track record is anything to go by, they'll find a way.

his may not be the biggest leap in the series' history, but it is easily one of its best installments, and an open-world racing experience that is currently difficult for competitors to match, especially since it takes place in Japan, which gave the game a special flavor.

Forza Horizon 6 doesn’t just set a new standard for open-world racing games; it epitomizes the genre and feels unlikely to be matched anytime soon.

The real beauty of Forza Horizon 6 is in how the Japanese world feels alive, and how rewarding it is to just go bimbling about. FH6 was always going to be an easy sell, and a reskinned FH5 would probably have sufficed, but Playground Games have smashed it out of the park. The world is great, the cars are amazing, and the racing action, whether on the streets, on the track, or in the wilds, is second to none.

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.
