Critic Reviews for Horizon Chase 2
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.
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.
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.
If it's not broken, don't fix it, that's what they must have thought at the Aquiris Game Studio offices. New vehicles, new circuits, minimal changes, the most notable being the omission of fuel management and the visual facelift, and all the fun and arcade sensation that they already offered us with the first one. Horizon Chase 2 is not going to surprise you, but if you liked the first one it is a safe bet.

Horizon Chase 2 is a fantastic sequel that improves on all aspects necessary of its predecessor. It's simply fantastic arcade how I love it. There are just a few technical shortcomings on Nintendo Switch.

However, these less good little notes to retain do not detract from the essentials of a game that takes up the spirit of arcade racing classics. The music by Barry Leich is admirable, with rhythms and sonorities that fit well into the environment and that magma of contrasting colors, a remarkable kaleidoscope. In the background the game maintains a rotation of challenges, with new tests and challenges that need to be visited beyond the world tour. The satisfaction of being able to challenge other players online at any time is also remarkable. In short, a fun game to play anywhere on these mild summer days, especially with a network connection.

This is the best kind of sequel. Horizon Chase 2 is the kind of game that makes its predecessor look and feel obsolete in comparison, with vastly better graphics, AI, tracks, and controls. It might not exactly have a lot of cars for you to choose, but there is still so much content in here that complaining about it almost feels like an annoying nitpick. Aquiris has clearly managed to outdo themselves, with this game being one of the best retro-styled racers available in any console or PC right now.
