Redout 2

This is a fun experience, different from the original and I think I prefer that one over this one to be honest, but it is a good antigrav racer.

bad

I decided to revisit Redout 2 after playing it on the switch on release and sadly it has the same problems I remember. I feel bad giving it a thumbs down but it leaves a lot to be desired. the controls feel good and there is overall polish, but the tracks are so ridiculously monotonous in both its visuals and actual design. The entire game feels like its being suffocated by its own art style, you can hardly tell whats going on or what you're looking at through the amount of visual noise littered through everything. The art style being ugly or not is personal taste, but the lack of clarity is definitely impactful on player experience and is hard to ignore. The boost/overheat gameplay is a fun idea but gets boring quickly, and hyperboost feels meaningless when it's only intended to be used when the track gives you room for it. It may as well not be a feature if you can only use it in the same spot every track. I'll probably still pick it up every now and then because I enjoy the overall gameplay in small bites but I can't see much of a reason to choose this over any of the WipEout games.

Awesome game, awesome community, awesome ships, awesome tracks, awesome speed, awesome soundtrack, awesome last updates, awesome sound effects, awesome challenges, awesome driving mechanics. Absolutely recommend it if you like fast racing games, doesnt really matter if you like antigravity racing games or not

Great game. Exceptional and intentional F-Zero vibes. ...I can take this game in doses (love it!), but you do, in fact, feel somewhat exhausted after each race. Way more than any other game I can think of, and I'm a big fan of competitive FPS. From a neurobiological standpoint, I consider the outcome of this gem of a game to be for (certain parts of your brain anyways...) akin to what your biceps experience after a particularly grueling curling session. I'm going to try to "complete" this game, whatever that may mean, and maybe try my hand at multiplayer at some point. (I'll lose badly :( but that's OK, it's not the point).

Extremely fun game. Learning curve - the assists are EXTREMELY well made for getting the hang of things before you start taking full control - there isn't a racing game with a sense of speed like it.
