Velocity 2x critical mass edition review

Velocity 2X may be four-years-old at this point, but that doesn’t mean that the gameplay has passed its sell-by date.

90 Nintendo Life In an age where indie titles are becoming increasingly more reliant on procedural generation to do all the heavy lifting, it can be immensely satisfying to play a game that is tailor made for one specific experience. Velocity 2X excels in this regard, offering up an immaculately designed, endlessly replayable arcade experience that shows just how engaging twitch gameplay can be. We would give Velocity 2X a high recommendation, especially to anybody who’s looking for a great pick up and play arcade game for their Switch; this is one you definitely don’t want to miss out on.
90 NintendoWorldReport This is one of the finest action games I've played in a while, and every individual piece about it works.
90 Switch Player Velocity 2X fires on all cylinders in every way, providing frantic yet fun space shooter action that is always a thrill to jump back into. Get the first game in the series onto the system, stat.

80 Digital Spy While we hesitate to call it a game-of-the-year contender, the Vita needs more titles like Velocity 2X, a game that's equally effective when experienced in short bursts on the move, or in the kind of marathon sessions that tablet and smartphones cannot compete with.
80 Eurogamer Germany Clean, unadorned and never pretentious or ponderous elegance. It's an unapologetically modern game in a classic guise.
100 Gaming Age On the most critical point, however, Velocity 2X hasn't changed: it's still an awesome game, and it's still absolutely worth your time. Half of it may be borrowed from Futurlab's previous game, but half of it isn't, and those two halves add up to make one heck of an experience.
100 The Vita Lounge Velocity 2X offers the perfect mix of side-scrolling puzzle-platforming and top-down shooting action. With perfect controls, beautiful visuals and an amazing soundtrack.

85 They did a great job at smoothly connecting the gameplay parts of the game to the story parts so it doesn’t seem forced or unrealistic. Velocity 2X is a game that, once you play a bit, guides you into a sort of rhythm. Much like music games, it’s a very seductive effect.
80 Playstation Official Magazine Australia Slick looking and stupidly fast, Velocity 2X is a must-see genre convergence. [October 2014, p83]
95 PlayStation Universe An action-packed shooter brimming with visual spectacle and solid replay value.
100 Push Square Velocity 2X is everything that a game should be. Requiring skill and dedication, it’s been built for core gamers ready to challenge themselves; for people who desperately miss the likes of Contra and R-Type. Don’t be fooled, though, this isn’t a throwback or even a celebration – this is a modern game done right, and the new standard for which indies have to aim on PlayStation.

85 3DJuegos Velocity 2X is addictive gameplay.
81 MondoXbox A successful mix of genres, with an adrenalinic gameplay and lots of content.
80 Official Xbox Magazine UK By turns breathless, brilliant and fist-chewingly demanding, Velocity 2X might allow its tempo to drop too often, but it approaches excellence often enough to recommend - you might just fall in love.

ZTGD

Velocity 2X is a fast-paced game that trips over its own complex mechanics at times; especially when trying to achieve higher scores. Still players can still enjoy the entire game without fear of having to perfect each level.

Is Velocity 2X hard?

Another thing I loved about Velocity 2X is that its difficulty level is extremely flexible. The default pace is almost sluggish, but players can hold one of the triggers at any time to boost the game's scrolling speed substantially.

How long to beat Velocity 2X?

When focusing on the main objectives, Velocity 2X is about 5½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 26½ Hours to obtain 100% completion.
