IGN - 9 - "Like a big bucket of Hot Wheels brought to life, Forza Motorsport 6 is first-order car porn for the automobile obsessed but remains an accessible and exciting racer for those who just want to drive fast in something red with a horse logo on it."
Gamespot - 8 - "The Mod system and the weather effects are reasons enough for Forza 5 enthusiasts to seriously consider this sequel and the abundance of difficulty and assist options makes Forza 6 an immensely accessible driving simulation for newcomers."
Polygon - 8 - "With the loss of some of its personality, Forza Motorsport 6 sometimes feels like a little less than the sum of many much improved parts, and there are certain quality-of-life changes that feel increasingly overdue. But these are only distractions, bumps in the road that make Forza feel "just" great when looked at from a distance. And in the playing, Turn 10 feels like it's found its line even more effectively."
EGM - 9.5 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is a welcome shot in the arm for the series. Easily the best entry the franchise has produced, Forza 6 introduces tons of new online and offline gameplay that should make players want to stay in the driver’s seat for as long as possible this fall."
USGamer - 5/5 - "As technically polished and fully-featured as any racing game out there, Forza Motorsport 6 transports you to an incredibly realistic racing world where there's a huge breadth of choice in terms of cars, tracks and types of driving experience. Pretty much whatever you're in the mood for, Forza Motorsport 6 has you covered."
Gaming Age - A - "The controls are spot on, and perfect for virtually any skill level to pick up and play. It’s also a technically sound experience, outside of some lengthy load times between tracks."
TheSixthAxis - 10 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is beautiful, meticulous, dramatic and generous. It is arguably a faultless piece of driving software, and on top of that, Turn 10 have definitively proven that the Xbox One is an exceptionally capable machine when in the right hands."
Destructoid - 9.5 - "It was enough to outright bring me back into the racing fold. I found myself racing for hours, racking up credits, ferociously buying new cars to add to my garage, and cursing at my friend's Drivatars. Forza 6 is the new king of simulation racing."
Canadian Online Gamers - 9.1 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is the definitive sim/circuit racing experience that is accessible to all levels of racers on the current generation of consoles."
Hardcore Gamer - 4.5/5 - "We’re getting to the point where denying the greatness of the Forza franchise is borderline ridiculous. The saddest part about Forza Motorsport 6 is that it will likely be brushed away by critics and gamers alike as a fantastic racing game rather than a fantastic game in general. Make no mistake, with all of its meaningful content and rock solid gameplay, Forza Motorsport 6 is one of the best games to come out in 2015, period."
Arcade Sushi - 9 - "A spectacular machine that makes perfect use of all its components. It incorporates familiar elements with those that may have seemed superfluous, but only serve to solidify this franchise as a frontrunner in the genre. Packed with content, modes and customizability, Forza Motorsport 6 is a grand evolution of a decade's worth of racing under the Microsoft banner."
Game Revolution - 4.5/5 - "It's fitting that the 2017 Ford GT was chosen as the feature car for Forza Motorsport 6 as both of them are refined, beautiful, and stand out among a sea of competitors. Forza has always been great, and with this release it’s better than ever."
Shacknews - 9 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is what I always wanted a next-gen driving game to be. It offers beautiful visuals, a wide variety of options, and uses real-world physics to dictate how vehicles perform...It's unlikely anything will unseat it in the near future."
Attack of the Fanboy - 4.5/5 - "Forza Motorsport 6 sets a new bar in terms of visuals for a console racer. A more player-friendly progression system in single player and new online components compliment the massive track and car list."
Game Informer - 7.75 - "We've seen the career mode change from iteration to iteration, with the developer unable to define where it wants to go and therefore build upon a foundation in successive years. Turn 10 talks about its passion for cars, and that's evident on the track, but players have to feel it elsewhere, too."
GamesRadar+ - 3/5 - "This is a true showcase for Xbox One in every area except the racing. Inconsistent difficulty, random payouts and way too many dull events seriously spoil the party."
Metro GameCentral - 9 - "The best Forza Motorsport so far and arguably the best driving simulator on consoles, with stunning visuals and a mountain of highly compelling content."
God is a Geek - 9.5 - "A spectacular package that meets the high expectations of race driver wannabe’s the world over. If snow and sleet were added to it, it’d be perfect."
Official Xbox Magazine UK - 4/5 - "All that aside, Forza Motorsport 6 offers the best racing experience you can get on Xbox One, bar none."
MMGN.com - 9 - "Forza Motorsport 6 significantly expands upon the content of Forza 5 with more than double the cars, and heaps more tracks, returning the depth found in the last game on Xbox 360, Forza 4. It doesn't greatly evolve the already stellar gameplay, but rather tweaks it with new weather effects in blistering 1080p and 60 frames-per-second. For more casual players, there isn't a blaring reason to upgrade, but motoring enthusiasts will appreciate ever addition piece of content that brings Forza Motorsport up to speed on Xbox One."
The HD Room - 4.7/5 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is a simulation racer first, and best of its class at that. With a variety of assist options, auto-tuning and ability to ratchet down the difficulty, Turn 10 Studios is embracing the casual racer rather than shoo them off to the Horizon franchise. I’ve been pretty much in awe of how smooth Forza Motorsport 6 runs on Xbox One and how incredibly deep the gameplay options are for casual car collectors and simulation drivers alike. A new bar has been set pretty high for the competition’s next lap around the speedway."
New Game Network - 85 - "So when I say that Forza Motorsport 6 is everything that 5 should have been, and is the real debut for the franchise on Xbox One, the words may not carry as much impact. But you better believe it, and start those engines – Forza Motorsport 6 brings the franchise back to greatness."
Gamestyle - 9 - "A few niggles stop this being a 10, but Forza Motorsport 6 is a damn fine package and excels where it counts."
Digital Spy - 5/5 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is a terrific game. It misses a few minor beats, with yet another career mode that throws you straight in there, and good god the serious attitude of the game is sickening at best. But this is one of the best driving simulations out there: it's the game launch title Forza 5 really should have been."
We Got This Covered - 4.5/5 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is, without a doubt, the best simulation racing game ever made. Not only is it chock full of content, but it's also fine-tuned to near perfection and an absolute blast to play."
Cheat Code Central - 4.5/5 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is the game everyone was hoping to have when they purchased their Xbox One the day it released."
Game Rant - 4.5/5 - "As the series celebrates its tenth anniversary, Forza Motorsport 6 demonstrates that Turn 10 has found the ideal balance of sim gameplay and accessibility."
Digital Chumps - 9 - "Deciding if a vanilla racing game is worth one of those tokens is ultimately up to the consumer. What I can say is within that relatively narrow definition, Forza 6 does about everything necessary to fulfill the niche to a high degree."
Xbox Achievements - 85 - "Simply a better game than Forza 5 and with a lot more content to boot, Forza Motorsport 6 is an endlessly playable racer that deserves a spot in your Xbox One collection."
Action Trip - 9 - "Forza Motorsport 6 is a love letter to racing fans that greatly makes up for the shortcomings of the last installment in the series."
Game Trailers - 8.9 - "Forza Motorsport 6 maintains the series’ strong handling, robust features, and its ability to bring together players of varied skill levels. There are improvements in virtually every area, but even with additions like night and weather, it doesn’t really feel like there’s a standout change to push the series forward. It seems like most of the effort this time around went into getting Forza back on track."
Gaming Trend - 90 - "With improvements in literally every area, Forza Motorsport 6 positions itself as the absolute best racer on the market. There are a few oil leaks, but when compared to the upgrades, they are easier to ignore."
Pure Xbox - 8 - "Warts and all, this is well worth the investment."
Game Over Online - 96 - "Forza Motorsport 6 rights a lot of Forza 5’s wrongs."
WorthPlaying - 8.6 - "When it comes right down to it, Forza Motorsport 6 is a big improvement over Forza 5 and a must-have for driving simulation fans."
ZTGD - 9 - "Forza Motorsport is a game I rarely get excited about playing, but almost every time I dive in, it gets better."
NZGamer - 9.2 - "Forza 6 is the typical exceptional quality we’ve come to expect over the past decade. The racing is smooth and can be tailored to suit anybody’s skill level, and the tracks are designed with meticulous attention to detail."
Dealspwn - 9 - "This generation's finest racer. Turn 10's racer certainly has the looks, but it's the raw speed and intuitive handling that make the occasionally over-long races thrilling from start to finish."
The Digital Fix - 9 - "A must buy for any racing fan or car nut."
Lazygamer - 9.3 - "Forza 6 is one of the very best racing games available on any system. If you are a fan of cars and racing then this is absolutely something that you need to play."
Telegraph - 3/5 - "Despite the volume of content and the sharp precision and attention to detail levelled at everything from visuals to audio, Forza 6 can oftentimes feel like the standard bearer of a bygone age. On the one hand it's a mechanical wonder, but on the other it's firmly rooted in ideologies and design tropes of the past."
CGMagazine - 9 - "Microsoft and Turn10 have done a wonderful job putting together another Forza game that is near flawless from an artistic and technical viewpoint."
Brash Games - 9 - "For fans of racing sims and/or of the Forza series, the streamlined career mode and the improved handling make the game an essential purchase."
New York Daily News - 4/5 - "A quality racer, a game that dares to think a bit outside the racing sim box but still delivers plenty of classic Forza fun...Forza Motorsport 6 is an easy title to recommend to the racing fan and the casual gamer alike. It’s a racer with something for everyone."
