I played the fuck outta the last two, but they were basically the same game. From what I've seen, not a lot has changed. There's other driving games out there doing new things, so I have no incentive to start playing horizon 6.
The weekly challenges started feeling more like a chore than a fun experience, and the more or less required multiplayer races were usually awful. It would almost always be me and one other decent racer and the other 4 guys were garbage, you could lose the series even getting first in all the races because your team sucked so hard. I would often take an early lead then use my car to block the CPU cars, then after my teammates all got a solid lead I'd start racing again and usually get back into first.

Agreed about the weekly challenges. Horizon 5 became my most played Horizon game solely because my buddy and I went for 40 points every single week until new cars started being recycled, then we stopped. By the middle of it, we'd log in, rush to do the weekly stuff, often getting stuck on The Trial for several attempts, finally get the 40 and just quit for the week because we were out of time. It was definitely more of a chore. I only started having fun with the game again after it came out on PS5 which, funnily enough coincided with the end of new cars being added to the game. No more weekly anything, finally just playing for fun again.

And now it's time to do it all over again.

Yeah, I think I got every weekly for the first two years and lots of times I never even drove the reward cars lol.

Good luck with 6, while I'm sure it'll be great I am just not ready for another horizon.
