    The driving is as good as ever; it looks incredible, and Japan is a perfect choice for the series. Some half-baked new ideas and a formula that is starting to feel stale aren’t big enough problems to ruin the experience, even if Horizon 6 sometimes seems overly focused on fun over anything else, like a satisfying progression towards supercars and fame. None of that matters as I’m blasting across Japan in a hot pink Acura RSX from the 90s with a big grin on my face.

    At this stage in Forza Horizon's life, it's justifiable to ask how much longer it can follow the smooth grooves of its long-perfected formula without settling into a suffocating routine. But it's also easy to take for granted what these games do so well beneath all those noisy layers of activity: They realize the romance and freedom of the open road. Unspooling their miles of tarmac through majestic scenery is a pure, undirected, unfettered joy. Horizon 6 is as good at that as any of its predecessors. Arguably, it's better.

    The best thing about Horizon 6 is that you can pick and choose how you want to experience it. You aren’t limited to either track; you can do whatever feels most interesting to you, whether it’s competing or exploring, and follow that thread to new and interesting places. I’m sure for a lot of people that means the fastest cars and lots of first place trophies. Me? I’m content taking a refurbished Nissan truck through winding forest roads, with Rise Against providing the soundtrack for my destructive path.

    The sixth instalment in the Forza Horizon series is a real success. Playground Games manages to shift through all the gears in this title with almost no stalling. Indeed, French-speaking players simply cannot overlook the disappearance of the voiceovers. Especially as the removal of certain social features, such as clubs, reinforces the feeling of having been fined without having committed an offence. Otherwise, the game retains and improves upon all the mechanics of its predecessors. Exploring Japan provides plenty of moments of wonder and thrills. You don’t need to be a car enthusiast to race down the tarmac with passion. Fond memories quickly take root in your mind and, ultimately, that’s what really matters!
