I’ve played around 16 hours of Forza Horizon 6 so far, and as someone who spent 60+ hours in Forza Horizon 4, this feels like a solid upgrade rather than a completely new experience.

The driving feels smoother and more responsive, the map is fun to explore, and there’s always something to do without it getting repetitive too quickly. It keeps that classic Horizon vibe - jump in, drive, chill, repeat and it still works really well.

One thing I really like is the map setting. Having parts inspired by Japan, especially a city that feels like Tokyo, gives the game a fresh vibe compared to older Horizon titles. I don’t know how accurate it is to real life, but it looks great and fits the game perfectly.

The graphics are really nice overall, especially during night drives and in the city areas where everything feels more alive. Performance has been solid too. The game runs smoothly and consistently without any major issues, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

- Smooth and satisfying driving feel
- Addictive gameplay loop (easy to jump in, hard to quit)
- Beautiful graphics and smooth performance
- Great map with a fresh Japan-inspired vibe
- Plenty of events and things to do

- Doesn’t bring many new ideas to the series
- Can feel familiar if you played previous Horizon games a lot

A polished and highly enjoyable Horizon experience that looks great, runs smoothly, and is hard to put down. If you liked Horizon before, you’ll get hooked again.
