Forza Motorsport 6 review – a return to form for Microsoft's racing series

The failings of Forza 5 are all but forgotten with this vastly improved instalment on Xbox One, which boasts faster action, a broader range of cars and sublime handling

If one thing comes to mindthe moment you boot up Forza 6, it's this: if developer Turn 10 turned its hand to creating a car, it would be a wonderful piece of engineering. This latest in the now-decade-old franchise is a meticulously crafted package, with an incredible attention to detail in almost every facet of its design.

Having made major missteps with Forza 5, Turn 10 has recognised and rectified where necessary. While its predecessor was a tight-fisted, condensed racing experience with a cut-down list of cars and tracks, Forza 6 is generous and dauntingly broad, more in line with series highpoint Forza 4. It has also excised the monetisation that plagued the Xbox One launch title and, while these shifts aren't enough to make Forza 6 truly exemplary, it's still a fantastic ride.
