Forza Horizon 6 Review
Let me just say, if you have a Logitech G920, you mind as well just pull out you a controller and play it. The Logitech disconnects mid drive and throws you into everything even if you are going straight you will go right. The Logitech G920 is my enemy at this point and I dislike it. If you are going for a wheel, go for Moza. It is more reliable and responsive and has more setting options for you to adjust unlike the Logitech software.
The map is amazing and there is so much for you to do and unlock. I highly recommend this and there is a lot of drifting in it. I had to turn on drive and breaking assists and it helped me a lot and I was able to play it just not on the wheel but a controller and I am not a controller player so this was a lot for me to take in again.
This map is huge and I love it. There are a lot of cars to choose from and tunes and it was so much fun. You can own up to 8 different houses in the game and there is so much more than 5.
I highly recommend grabbing it!
You can play with the basic game pass, you do not need ultimate!
Get it here:
People customized their cars and tunes and it allows you to put anime and so many other decals and I love it.
Verticality & Biomes: The map isn’t just flat; it includes everything from the massive Mount Fuji to rural mountain passes perfect for Touge Battles (night-time mountain racing).
Cover Cars: The 2025 Toyota GR GT Prototype and the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser.
Engine Audio: The team has remastered engine sounds using new acoustic modeling to better reflect Japan’s environments (like echoes in tunnels).
Ray Tracing: On PC and Series X, the game features Ray-Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) and reflections that work in the open world, not just in a garage mode.
One of the biggest atmosphere-builders in the new map is the Railway System. Unlike the generic loops in Mexico or the UK, Japan’s rail network is a core part of the environment:
- Shinkansen (Bullet Train): You’ll frequently see the iconic high-speed bullet trains streaking across elevated tracks in the distance or over the highways. While you can’t “race” them in a traditional sense, they are used in one of the game’s massive Showcase Events.
- Local Metro & Yamanote Line: In the Tokyo City districts, you’ll find commuter trains (inspired by the green Yamanote Line) running on elevated tracks above the streets. These add a layer of “verticality” to the city, with tracks weaving between skyscrapers and over canal bridges.
- Active Railroad Crossings: To nail the “nostalgic” Japanese aesthetic, the rural and suburban areas are filled with functional railroad crossings. These are high-risk zones in races and The Eliminator, where a passing local train can completely T-bone you if your timing is off.
- Drifting Under the Tracks: Some of the best drift spots in the Tokyo “Docks” and “Suburbs” districts are located directly under the concrete railway pillars, offering a gritty, urban feel that fans have been wanting since Need for Speed: Underground.
