The idea is good, but the implementation is not. At the moment, the game abuses the free-to-play model, so we can only hope for a future update of its gameplay and in-app purchases system.- Vandal

It feels unfinished and rushed through development. We really think it could've been polished to make it a better game, but unless an important patch comes out, it's really hard to recommend taking into account all the constant crashes when playing online and the extremely short single player modes.- Vandal

Of the six games, only two are original and made for Nintendo 3DS, and are indeed the ones that dissapoint. The rest of games are as fun as ever, but there are much more ways to obtain them. We also miss multiplayer modes.- Vandal

Die by the Blade captures the essence of Bushido Blade with its lethal combat and limb-targeting mechanics, offering a unique blend of strategy akin to soulslike games, though it lacks key aspects of any combat style, such as depth and longevity. The game's realism in weapon-based combat shines through intense duels, yet its brief matches undermine strategic potential, and this, together with its lack of content, makes it hard to recommend.- Vandal

Cooking Mama 4 is a wasted opportunity.

In short, we have no doubt that Forza Horizon 6 is going to be a great game, and it is clear to us that Playground has mastered this formula like few other studios in the industry. However, we also believe that—for such an established franchise—simply playing it safe and switching countries is no longer enough. Japan is a fine choice, the core foundation remains fantastic, and there are some promising details; yet, right now, we need to see far more evidence—and significantly more content—to determine whether we are witnessing a true leap forward for the series or merely another beautiful excursion to the Horizon Festival.
