Few racing games get the simple stuff this right. In Forza Horizon 6, even a short drive feels good, and that's what pulled me in straight away. The steering has that clean, confident feel where the car does what your hands expect, not half a second later. Once you start throwing a coupe into a bend, hearing the tyres chirp and settle, it's hard not to want one more run. I even found myself thinking about how much players will chase upgrades and

once they realise how fun it is to keep building new cars for different roads. The engine notes help too. Some games make every car sound big and loud. This one gives them character, and that goes a long way.Tokyo looks brilliant, but the open road steals the showThe city is obviously a major draw at first. Night racing through Tokyo, with all the signs, reflections, narrow lanes, and packed industrial areas, looks fantastic. Playground Games has gone heavy on detail, and you do notice it. Still, the part that stuck with me most wasn't downtown. It was leaving it behind. Once you hit the quieter roads beyond the city, the whole map starts to breathe a bit more. That sense of freedom lands harder out there. With hundreds of roads waiting to be discovered, the game keeps feeding that "just five more minutes" feeling. You clear one stretch, spot another road curling up a hill, and off you go again. It's less about rushing to the next event and more about seeing what's around the corner.A few systems still get in the wayNot everything clicked during the preview. ANNA, in particular, feels like one of those features that sounds smarter on paper than it does in practice. Yes, she ties together useful tools like Drone Mode, Auto Mode, and the World Builder. But the constant navigation chatter gets old fast. It breaks the rhythm, especially when you're just trying to enjoy the drive. Auto Mode was even shakier. More than once, the AI drove straight into traffic and then just kept pushing forward like it had no clue what to do next. Watching two cars stuck nose-to-nose, both stubbornly trying to force their way through, was funny for a second. After that, it was just messy.The events already hint at a huge amount of varietyEven with the preview build cutting off progression after an hour, there was enough to show the range on offer. The Shirakawa Circuit gave me proper tight tarmac racing. Windfarm Cross Country was the opposite, all jumps and rough landings. Then there was the Airfield Trail, which might've been my favourite just because of the setting. The view over the bay and the nearby golf course gave it a different mood from the usual race backdrop. After those events, I kept going with speed traps, drift zones, and car tuning for much longer than I meant to. That's usually a good sign. It means the game's side activities aren't filler. They're the sort of thing you dip into and suddenly lose an evening.Why it already feels easy to recommendI didn't get access to everything, so there are still gaps. Multiplayer, Legend Island, and The Estate were off limits in this build, and that does matter. Even so, the core of the game already feels strong. Chasing Drivatars, uncovering roads, and picking off collectibles gives the whole experience a road-trip vibe rather than just a race-weekend one. That balance is what makes it stand out. If you care as much about exploring as winning, this is shaping up nicely.
