How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“Forza Motorsport 6 is one of the best installments in the series but Forza 4 still wears the crown. You could ask yourself why this series isn't simply growing from game to game and why the players are getting "only" tweaked graphics and different car and track lists. Perhaps the developers are still looking for a perfect mix of arcade and simulation or they do not want to give us a "perfect Forza" - would we wait for a next game if that were the case?”

“With 460 cars and 26 tracks, Forza Motorsport 6 brings the big guns to "the best simulation game of the year" competition. Rain is the newest addition to the series, and it's great. You have double the cars than Forza 5 and a lot more tracks, but sadly, the simulation is almost the same.”

“Bigger and better than the previous chapter. Turn 10 Studios has done a huge amount of work in order to improve the previous game in every single respect. This is true car porn, with awesome gameplay and a huge load of modes and content.”

“Forza 6 is a proper sequel to Forza 5 with some fun new content, but the game really only excels in its presentation rather than with its physics. A recommended get for the petrol heads, but don't expect Project CARS' realism .”
