Forza Horizon 5 is a perfect marriage of the series’ best ideas so far, neatly planted in its most exciting and diverse location yet. For returning Forza players, there’s a combination of both major and subtle changes, from the fantastic improvements to car sounds to the intense dynamic weather options such as tropical storms and sandstorms. For new players, its once overwhelming litany of menus and activities have been streamlined, with easy-to-understand progression making it the most accessible Horizon entry yet.

While I didn’t think Playground Games could do it again, they absolutely have. Not only does Forza Horizon 4 surpasses their previous entries, but the addition of dynamic seasons helps to push longevity of the game and is well done. Tossing in a huge selection of cars and fun-filled challenges, this game does not disappoint. A game for both car lovers and gamers who love going fast, even if they’re sideways while doing it.

Playground Games continues to master the art of driving games that are both accessible and complex, and Horizon 4's numerous meaningful changes keep the series lively and looking fantastic.

Racing games can too often trade a sense of character and personality in the pursuit of realism and motorsport recreation – some might even cast that aspersion at the Forza Motorsport games themselves – but Forza Horizon 4 has no such trouble. It’s undoubtedly the best racing experience on Xbox One, and is full of challenges, races and stunts that are constantly rewarding you for your sheer love of racing. With its changing seasons and dynamic weather, Forza Horizon 4 feels new and fresh every week. Whether you’re a seasoned car snob or a virtual learner driver, this Xbox Game Pass ready deser...

Fast cars, twisty roads and more fun and challenges than you can shake a stick at. If you get bored playing Forza Horizon 4 then clearly you’ve not spent enough time going sideways.

Fortunately, two of those three complaints vanish once you put some time in, and you’ll have no trouble with that what with everything else available to do. This is the rare review title that I can see myself regularly coming back to in the future. Despite not being a car guy, Forza Horizon 4 is just plain fun, pure and simple.

Forza Horizon 4 offers racing fans endless, ever-changing amounts of fun. Few racing games are as dense with a seemingly infinite amount to do and collect. It's immensely liberating too, allowing you to play through it however you like. The open-world might have been better populated with environmental features and I wish the menus had been a little faster and easier to navigate, but it's a small price to pay for a game with so much under the hood.

Unfortunately for Playground Games, they must work within the ecosystem Microsoft provides on PC. It’s just that the ecosystem is such utter trash that one cannot ignore it when discussing the gaming experience as a whole. The Xbox app and Microsoft’s Xbox experience on PC are so intrinsically tied to gaming on UWP that it’s necessary to discuss it. The experience is still utter garbage and does nothing to dispel the notion that PC gamers are still second-class citizens to Microsoft.

Forza Horizon 6 is as good as you hoped it would be. Japan has quickly become my favorite location, and the in-game map really does it justice. There's so much to see and do that even after spending the past week with the game, it feels like I've barely scratched the surface. While again, there isn't much in terms of new ideas or innovation, the Horizon series didn't need it. There's already a well-established formula in place, and Playground Games did well to continue delivering one of the best racing experiences you'll ever have with Forza Horizon 6.

With the announcement that Game Pass would include all future first party titles on the day of their release, I recently got behind the wheel of Forza Horizon 4 and left my backlog in the dust. While often overlooked during conversations about first party dominance, Forza Horizon 4 is one of the bes
