We’re revved up to talk about Forza Horizon 6. Playground Games takes us to the sprawling Japanese setting to compete in the Horizon Festival. From new activities like the Togue Showdowns to collecting over 500 cars and racing a mech, all while honouring Japanese car culture. Is this the next great arcade racer, or has the Horizon series plateaued?(00:00) Creature Cast Intro(1:15) Forza Horizon 6 Review(07:00) Japan as a setting(18:46) Horizon Festival(34:07) Side activities(39:17) Multiplayer(47:19) Music(53:32) Outro

Steve and Bobby return with a new episode of Creature Cast.

This week, Nintendo stealth dropped a Star Fox Direct and revealed a “reimagining” of Star Fox 64 for the Switch 2, and it’s out in June.

Then, the team covers Dontnod’s Aphelion, a science fiction adventure game set on Perspheone, a potentially habitable planet for humanity. It ends up being a disappointment.

And Steve talks about Mouse: P.I. For Hire from Fumi Games. It has some great gameplay, but the story leaves something to be desired.

Creature Cast returns for a big week in games!

Xbox is dropping prices for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Steve played Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred and found a lot to love, including new classes, brutal fights, and a darker story. Plus, Replaced is finally here, and it's pretty good with exciting combat. Bobby reviewed Fumi Games's Mouse: P.I. For Hire and Capcom's Pragmata. Whether you like boomer shooters or third-person hacking shooters, this week has a game for everybody.Website:
