Famitsu Review Scores: Week of May 31, 2026
Famitsu, the long-running Japanese gaming magazine, published its weekly review roundup for the week of May 31, 2026.
The list includes high-profile releases and notable indie and licensed titles.
Famitsu’s scoring remains consistent with its established system: four editors each submit a score out of 10, and those individual marks are summed to produce a final score out of 40.
This week’s Famitsu scores (four individual editor scores followed by total):
- Forza Horizon 6 — 10/9/9/9 (37/40)
- eFootball Kick-Off — 9/8/9/8 (34/40)
- Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi — 8/8/9/8 (33/40)
- Schrodinger’s Call — 7/9/9/7 (32/40)
- A-Train 9 Evolution — 7/8/8/8 (31/40)
- John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando — 8/8/8/7 (31/40)
- The Last Case of John Morley — 6/7/7/7 (27/40)
Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 6 topped the weekly board with a 37/40 total.
Forza’s developer credit, Playground Games, and publisher Xbox Game Studios are long-established names in racing and open-world development, and Famitsu’s high marks reflect that pedigree.
Konami’s eFootball Kick-Off received a strong 34/40 from Famitsu’s panel, underscoring continued critical interest in the eFootball franchise.
Veteran designer Kazuma Kaneko’s eponymous Tsukuyomi earned a 33/40, drawing attention from readers who follow creators with notable track records in Japanese RPG and franchise design.
Other entries this week span a range of genres, from simulation in A-Train 9 Evolution to licensed horror-action in John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando.
Journalistic note on scoring: Famitsu aggregates four individual editor scores (each scored out of 10) to produce a single total score out of 40, which is the publication’s standard method for weekly reviews.
For publishers, developers and platform stakeholders tracking Japanese press reception, Famitsu’s weekly roundup remains a useful barometer.
Readers on platforms like Nintendo Switch and storefronts such as the eShop often consult these scores when considering purchases, and titles featured in Nintendo Directs historically receive focused coverage in Japan.
