hot take: FH6 is literally this meme
i enjoyed playing FH6 because who doesnt like horizon, but this game feels like a huge fumble honestly. for a region where JDM hails from, this game felt veerrryyy lacking in that aspect. sure, the customization is better than FH5 but is in no way comparable to japan’s actual car scene. what will it take to get NFSU2 levels of customization? i want a pure shitbox. is that too much to ask?
aside from that, i felt japan was very bare. the verticality and variety added in japan is cool compared to FH5’s map but most of it feels like wasted space. most of the races (that progress the story) felt like just cross country and dirt races. if i wanted to play dirt, i would play dirt. not to mention the absolute wasted potential that “legend island” was. seriously, all game this is hyped up and when you finally get there it’s basically nothing. barn finds/treasure cars feel like im walking up to random cars and recording myself stealing them (i know barn finds are placed by the festival per lore but treasure cars legit feel like a crime in this game lmao).
really all we got with FH6 is better driving, wristband system is back (yipee), better car models (for older cars), better customization (to an extent), and better visuals with japan slapped on top of it. there’s really nothing memorable about this game aside from the giant mech showcase imo.
