Horizon Chase 2 couldn’t turn out any better than it has, and it’s a good thing that it’s finally hitting more consoles since it’ll give more players a chance to see what all the fuss is about. If you are of the sort that enjoys casual but at the same time intense arcade experiences, this is a game you shouldn’t go without, regardless of the platform you choose to play it on.

Horizon Chase 2 amplifies the qualities of its predecessor and delivers an excellent arcade racing game. Even with few game modes and the absence of a specific focus on multiplayer, the title is extremely fun and just as challenging, making it suitable for hours of solo or accompanied play.

Horizon Chase 2 is an excellent follow-up to Horizon Chase Turbo, offering a wide plethora of stages to race across and sights to see. I found enjoyment in modes I typically get frustrated in, with Time Trials specifically pulling me back for more each day. If you're a fan of arcade racers, Horizon Chase 2 is a great time I recommend trying out.

An entertaining game but with a great lack of content, very repetitive and with a multiplayer that does not add much to the experience.

Horizon Chase 2 is, in its most distilled form, the perfect modern arcade racer. Its mechanics are scaled back but refined, the drop-in/drop-out multiplayer works well and never fails to excite, and the game has just enough customization to make every racer feel at home behind the wheel. While I’d love to see some more cheeky references thrown in to add to the fun and the game could certainly benefit from some DLC tracks down the road, it’s nevertheless filled to the brim with a charm and a love-letter to classic coin-op racers that’ll keep fans coming back for a long while. If arcades were still around and prevalent, Horizon Chase 2 would be my cabinet of choice any day of the week.

Horizon Chase 2 is the evolution that the franchise deserved. The sequel features visuals with more elaborate effects, successfully implements online multiplayer that the original did not have and improves vehicle configuration with better use of coins earned in races. Looking forward to the next projects from the Brazilians at Aquiris.

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.

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.

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.

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.
