Forza Horizon 6: the Japan imagined by car lovers is not quite Japan

Forza Horizon 6 treats Japan with far more documentary care than its enormous automotive party initially suggests. Road references, 360-degree capture, local artists, seasonal recordings and car-meet culture give the setting real texture. The fantasy remains obvious, particularly in an almost empty Tokyo and a geography completely rearranged for driving pleasure. Playground Games has not made a realistic Japan. It has made the ideal Japan of somebody who never wants to leave the car.

PROS

Exceptionally extensive cultural and geographic research
Japanese car culture is integrated into systems
Beautiful environmental variety

CONS

Tokyo feels unusually empty without crowds
Geography is heavily remixed
