Just as the Mixtape furore threatens to reignite the whole ‘games as art versus games as entertainment’ debate all over again, along comes Forza Horizon 6 to crash the conversation and remind everyone that sometimes the best games are the ones that simply want you to have an incredible time. No awkward self-seriousness, no existential crisis about the medium, just a massive open-world arcade, sim-cade racer set in a gorgeous, wonderfully realised version of Japan where you can spend three straight hours drifting down mountainsides in an old Subaru while cherry blossoms cascade across the screen.
