Critic Reviews for Horizon Chase 2
Horizon Chase 2 offers a classic arcade experience. As its predecessor did, it encapsulates the nostalgia of arcade games and adapts and improves it for new devices. A direct, beautiful, fun and simple racing arcade.

Horizon Chase 2 is quick to jump into, and while it might not be packed with content, it's a ton of fun to play.
Outside of the core campaign, there’s online multiplayer with full crossplay, which should help to ensure matchmaking remains snappy across a prospectively small install base. Rotating challenges also offer new gameplay wrinkles and modifiers to keep things fresh in a very basic live service fashion, with cosmetic unlocks like paint and leaderboards available to keep you engaged. Ultimately, the game won’t hold your attention for too long, but you’ll be smiling plenty while it lasts.
Horizon Chase 2 doesn't invent anything that hasn't been seen before, but it doesn't try either, and you know what? It's very good. The production takes a classic formula and adds the modern elements necessary to make it feel great in this era and for the player to enjoy the journey of their car from the moment of start to the moment they cross the finish line and what is better, it makes them want to play again immediately.

Horizon Chase 2 isn't going to set the world on fire. No matter how fun it is to fly across the highway at blazing speed, no amount of speed can disguise the fairly limited breadth of content available. In fact, that speed only makes courses blur together even more. Ultimately, you're left with a fun but shallow arcade racer that feels disappointingly shaky on Switch.
Horizon Chase 2 brings more of the same very fun, even more so when we share the screen with more people. Wrapped in the infectious electronic musical score, the frenetic races have gains in the relationship between control and speed and the beautiful stylized representation of real locations, but also presents losses in the number of tracks and cars in its modest Round the World Round.

You could argue that Horizon Chase 2 plays things safe, but when what’s on offer is this much fun, does it really matter? Developer Aquiris may have stuck to its tried and tested formula, but with a bold new visual style and improved gameplay across the board, there’s enough here to make the experience feel fresh. And whether you like to race alone against the CPU or online against others, there’s something for you here. For arcade racing game fans eager for something new to test their skills with, this is very highly recommended.
Horizon Chase 2 offers a huge assortment of tracks set in real-world locales that make its instinctual and visceral gameplay really shine.
