Forza Horizon 6 review - a near-complete package, tuned to perfection

20 years ago, Need For Speed Carbon opened my eyes to the thrills of downhill sprints and heavy drifts. Zooming down canyons in my tricked-out Toyota Trueno, like anime series Initial D's Takumi Fujiwara, was unforgettable, and it's a high I've been chasing ever since. When Playground Games revealed Forza Horizon 6 would bring the Horizon Festival to Japan, I felt my dopamine receptors begin to fire. Forza Horizon 5 had failed to capture my interest for long with its lack of real progression, but Playground has more than rectified its missteps in the Land of the Rising Sun. Forza Horizon 6 is very much 'more Forza Horizon' in many ways, but its refinements elevate it above its predecessor.
