The world of Playground Games<\/a> and Xbox Game Studios<\/a>‘ Forza Horizon<\/a> series is a known quantity at this point, with the only X-factor being its locale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Forza Horizon 6 heading to Japan, see whether one should race and explore the land of the rising sun with our review…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza Horizon 6 Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Similar to previous Forza Horizon entries, Forza Horizon 6 features a big racing festival players are here to take part in – this time in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While previous entries had amazing locales, Forza Horizon 6’s Japan setting is easily the best in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just the setting; it\u2019s how it is used alongside the festival to encourage exploration and a minute to relax and enjoy the scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Featuring Forza Horzion 6’s main missions, the Horizon Festival lets players do races and challenges to earn points to unlock the next festival event. Once events are completed, new races in a different area open up to earn more points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the Discover Japan side of Forza Horizon 6. From quickly delivering food, to going on day trips with NPCs, to even the odd photo mission, these side missions break things up. While not all winners, I easily lost hours doing these quests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza Horizon 6 is still the king of racing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many different options to tweak to driving, braking, and even lead lines in races. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to make things easy-breezy? Forza Horizon 6 allows players to only need to brake the tiniest bit, letting the car handle most of the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather ramp up the difficulty and earn a ton of extra credits? That’s an option too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza Horizon 6 lets you play your way – and works perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throw in over 500 cars, and your perfect ride awaits.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Forza Horizon 6 provides a number of race options, from simple point A to point B races on roads, off-road tracks with laps, and (of course) plenty of drift spots and speed traps to hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Forza Horizon 6 features online competitive races, I spent most of the review period doing co-op festival events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaming up with other races for three events, I found myself that breaking stuff, drifting, doing huge jumps, and performing other tricks to net big points and a big payday. While I believe they only happen once an hour, they’re always worth jumping into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing races in Forza Horizon 6 provides a list of recommended content. Players can chain missions and just grind the Festival this way, or can alternatively experience the new stuff around the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza Horizon 6 also features an Auto Drive functionality that lets players put a marker on the map and let the car go to that point. It works flawlessly, and fast travel to any discovered point on the map is also available. While players are encouraged to explore solo, the journey back is as simple as the press of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Outside the racing, Forza Horizon 6 lets players buy new houses, find hidden barns, and do treasure hunts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houses provide a passive buff, like free wheelspins or additional credits for select races. One also lets you customize the whole area with different decorations and cars – while it definitely has its audience, I didn\u2019t spend much time there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Forza Horzion 6’s barns and treasures provide clues that lead to special cars. Alternatively, one can purchase the treasure map and have them all provided. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter the approach, my favorite loot is the super wheelspin that grants three prizes – all the more reason to explore and find more cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forza Horizon 6 is a top-tier racing game, complete with a great world to explore, rewarding secrets, and engaging gameplay. <\/p>\n\n\n
