    Futurlab made a bold claim that Velocity 2X is the game of the year 2014… They are not wrong.

    Futurlab doubles down and delivers a sequel that beats its predecessor in quality on every level. A must have.

    Velocity 2X is absolutely worth playing. This game offers the lovely combination of platforming, space shooting and puzzling. There are a few flaws, but for the price that this game costs, we won’t even mention them.

    First thing about the Velocity 2X: It's a 2 in 1 game (Platform and arcade). I am impressed by excessive speed gameplay. Teleport and other stuffs are looking so cool. If you are a PS Plus subscriber, then it's a game that you cannot miss.

    I’d think you’re a bit crazy if you’re on PS+ and don’t get this game as part of your instant collection.

    Fast, smooth, clever and furious, FuturLab delivers a great shoot'em up that is actually improved thanks to the platform sections on foot.

    An impressive mix of game styles, and some of the most rewarding speed runs in recent memory, but that only increases the speed at which levels start to blur into each other.

It seamlessly integrates the mechanics in a way that encourages you to perfect your gameplay. The reviewer accusing the game if "hand holding" obviously hasn't played very far in to the game. It only explains things the first time you encounter a new mechanic. I don't know what they expect, it's pretty stupid not to expect a game to have some kind of tutorial. The art is great, the music is perfect and it's just an all around great game. Plus it's free if you have PS+. Anyone giving negative reviews just doesn't get good gaming.… Expand

One pro is it seemed to be generally easy to beat a level, but much more difficult to 100% it, so for non completionists like myself I don't think it would eat up a ton of time to "finish" this game… Expand
