Horizon Chase 2

These arrows are always making me furious and it’s not just that, there are also the spikes and all random stuff beside both sides of the road, and why I hate them is because they are always making me crash and slow down all the way to exactly 0 Kmh when I am drifting. I also want to mention another problem which is that I matched up with a very annoying car when I am 2nd place that is always slower but more skilled than me every single racer and sometimes including me being less skilled than that car is and how I look at that car seems to me as if it’s a very slow looking car and this cars name is Rogerinho, and now I’m having car named Amir and whenever I beat this car it is always 0.20+ to 0.06seconds in time to complete the race and if these cars are robots please take them out even if they are easy to beat. One last thing I want to be included is changing kmh to mph in the settings beacause it is more accurate and it makes me happy to see the speedometer say 200+ miles an hour. Also, please take out that effect where you bump into a car and then it pushes much ahead of me. And also every review says something people want improved and what others and I wrote, do it🤬

I can totally understand why someone would think that combining the look and feel of classic arcade racers like Cruisin’ with the game model of the popular Asphalt series with regular car updates and mods, but the result ends up feeling like a watered down version of both. The controls and driving feel are far too simplistic for Asphalt fans and trying to meet it halfway loses some of the insanity and campiness of the simple arcade racers that were littered with endless short cuts and wild takedowns. Ultimately it feels like you can either have a game that just focuses on making it from city to city without taking yourself too seriously or you can have a complex tree of upgrades to apply to the cars in your garage. But having both ends up feeling like less than the sum of its parts. Actual rating is probably a 3.5 but I don’t mind rounding up for effort. It’s a well made game that’s well polished but ended up just making me want to go back and replay other games instead of continue this one.

Positive: From a value perspective, this is one of the best games available. The graphics are amazing. Slightly more realistic than its predecessor while still maintaining the retro aesthetic. The gameplay is easy to pick up but still has a enough nuance for a more serious player. I’m still early in the game but if it’s anything like the original, I look forward to the difficulty in later levels. The music is great and the sound fx are crisp except the horns sound strange. Really who needs a horn but I like honking at cars when I rear-end them. The UI is straight forward and fun to look at. Always great when menus don’t feel like menus. The upgrade system of having to play a car to level up is way more fun. It creates way more replay value. Negative: While it was annoying, I miss the fuel management system of the previous game. My wife and use to play random cars and run through a Grand Prix. Bad fuel made for interesting match ups and having different priorities. Having to choose between gas and turbo was always fun. The lack of fuel makes these tracks feel empty. Vehicle customization seems fun but I probably won’t use it. Verdict: Almost a perfect game in my eyes. You’re probably a high 4.8 out of 5 to me. I refuse to round down. I look forward to the console release and some old-fashioned split-screen.
