Forza Horizon 6 is ultimately a joy to play, hard to put down, and visually quite incredible. Make no mistake, I think Playground Games has once again delivered a game to be proud of. Six games in, though, 14 years after the original, and in an age when photo realism has essentially arrived, the believability of virtual worlds is about more than making perfect backdrops for photos. To truly move forward it might finally be time for a Horizon shake-up.
FH6 nudges the accelerator again with a fresh location and a handful of inessential additions such as homes to decorate. But the diminishing returns on show here suggest Playground will need to dig deeper into the engine to find a higher gear next time.
Forza Horizon 6 cannot be called a bad game. PlayGround Games has found the perfect formula for a service game, one that consistently attracts millions of racing fans with sheer numbers, offering them a comfortable experience with plenty of engaging activities. For the sake of this, they've had to sacrifice even the slightest hint of boldness. Still, the aging foundation is beginning to sag.

It's already dead. The reviews will lead you astray. Just another copy and paste. Just think FH4/FH5 with a "Japan" map, which doesn't even remotely resemble anywhere in Japan. They even copied color choices that The Crew Motorfest did for their UI/Banners etc. No original ideas anymore. You want to play an actual good Horizon game? Go play 1 through 3. You will have a great time.

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.

Forza Horizon 6's Banksy-level vistas of Japan are breathtaking, and the improvements to the progression system have placed the title at the pinnacle of the racing genre once again.

There’s already a well-established formula in place, and Playground Games did well to continue delivering one of the best racing experiences you’ll ever have with Forza Horizon 6.

Forza Horizon 6 is developer Playground Games at the very top of its game, delivering the biggest and most diverse series entry yet, and a triumphant celebration of cars and car culture. It helps that it looks utterly stunning too.

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.

Horizon 6 disappointed me. Me, who has played all six instalments in the series. I feel some of the progress Horizon 5 introduced is missing; I don't think Playground are willing enough to experiment with everything from progression to UI design; and I don't think Japan comes across well as a setting here. But conversely, this, along with the last handful of Horizon games, is one of the best arcade racers you can find, based on everything this game predictably executes so masterfully. I therefore take the liberty of recommending Horizon 6 solely on the basis that it works as well as it does, although I must once again recommend that Playground Games really take their time to be more ambitious in the future.

Awesome game but no french speaking version 6 months after. Microsoft is sleeping on that topic and that has a cost. However it delivers stunning visuals, expansive open-world racing, and a large car choice. Its dynamic weather and seasons improve immersion. Handling feels precise, and multiplayer is really OK. A must-have for racing fans, though some may find the grind repetitive. Special mention for Bowie knife 99 lol

At first, it's real eye candy with that spectacular Japanese setting, but you quickly realize it's the exact same old thing—and on top of that, unlocking the last event is a massive pain in the ass. P.S.: Another game that doesn't come complete on the disc on Xbox, and on PS5 it doesn't even have a physical edition.

The game doesn't look bad at **** for a big game set in 2026 and the developers didn't even bother to rescan all those old models or even add anything they recently scanned, I have to say it's pretty **** the progression system is getting boring after only 2 months of release. And from what I've seen on YouTube, I can say it's just not me who say that.

Only positive things about this installment of Forza Horizon are the graphics, introduction of spec races, and the location of Japan. Having completed all events, and story content, in addition to playing multiplayer races you're much better off spending your time and money elsewhere or just playing FH5 or FH4. FH6 is essentially the same game just with a different skin. With Rockstar reportedly working on a new Midnight Club hopefully that either wakes up PlayGround Games to innovate or just stop with these racing reskins.
