I am in love with Forza Horizon 6's Nissan Silvia

Forza Horizon 6 has learned at least one neat trick from Ridge Racer.

It's learned that for a certain kind of racing game, something that's dreamy yet exactingly arcadey by turn, it's quite nice to ghost around a corner every now and then and find something dramatic happening overhead.

In Ridge Racer this something was often a jumbo taking off.

In Horizon 6, it could be one of those chunky helicopters with two sets of propellors, or even a group of jet fighters flying in formation.

.

But games are as prone to inflation as everything else.

At one point, I crested a hill and a huge space rocket launched.

Not bad, Horizon.

Not bad.

.

But back at the very start? Reader, back at the start I got two synchronised bullet trains all in the space of about a minute.

I'd turn the corner and they'd rush past, swift and low, bound for the gleaming distance.

Welcome to Japan.

If you're familiar with Forza's Horizon games you'll be at home here, I think.

.

It's the same basic deal: arcade racing spread across a generous tourist-tuned open world.

And it all starts with the same kind of going-to-the-festival thrill as the earlier games too.

A handful of mini-events kick you back and forth between highways strung through forests one moment and a full-on snowy mountain descent the next.

Futuristic concept cars with daringly minimalist tail lights are swapped out for a banana yellow Porsche.

.

Duck into the accessibility menu and there's the same world-beating options for dialing in the experience.

Duck into the character creator and you can still add prosthetics before you choose your pronouns.

In other words, Horizon wants to be a breezy holiday, and everyone is welcome.

Even playing locked at the 30fps "quality" mode for the demo build (a 60fps "performance" mode will be available at launch) it's a Sunday afternoon bubble bath kind of affair.
