The verdict
A gorgeous, polished Forza Horizon with the series' best map and great driving, but largely FH5 in a new setting. Skip it if you own FH4/5 or hate FOMO playlists, rubber-band AI and thin customization.
Great for
Series newcomers and casual cruisers who want a gorgeous open-world arcade racer with tons of cars
Main risk
Feels like FH5 with a new map, then gets repetitive and FOMO-driven after the campaign
What changed in the last 30 days
162 recent reviews
Many recent negatives focus on bans over anime/itasha liveries, report-abuse bans, repetitive playlists and lack of new content, rather than launch issues. Fairly consistent across many reviews.
