Horizon Chase 2 is an arcade racing game, which includes many features typical of the genre, such as nitro and accelerating spots. The game was developed and published by Aquiris Game Studio.
Horizon Chase 2 is an arcade racing game, sequel to Horizon Chase and its enhanced version for PC and consoles - Horizon Chase Turbo. It was developed and published, as in the case of earlier installments of the series, by Aquiris Game Studio.
The action is observed from a camera placed behind the car. The gameplay is based on completing routes as quickly as possible, which is varied by solutions typical of the genre, such as nitro, accelerating fields or splitting roads.
At the start we have access to 55 routes in 5 countries around the world and can unlock 10 cars. Each car can be upgraded to improve its statistics, as well as personalized after acquiring the right parts.
We have a choice of different game modes (e.g. Playground, which offers various arcade challenges, or Tournament giving the opportunity to compete in modified races) and in each of them we can play solo or together with friends. There is also no shortage of options to compete with others over the network.
Game is distinguished by its graphic style - three-dimensional, but referring to 16-bit two-dimensional racing games. In this installment of the series it looks more modern, while still maintaining the original atmosphere.

Screen Rant: 4.5 / 5 by Carrie Lambertsen
Ultimately there is nothing mind-blowing about Horizon Chase 2, but there also really isn't anything negative either. The only drawback is that there isn't more of it, as the game is pretty quick to complete at roughly eight hours for the entire World Tour unless played on high difficulties that make it harder to progress. Horizon Chase 2 simply feels like a fun game that is perfect at giving a nostalgic feel of a 90s arcade racer, but with much better graphics to smooth it out.
ZTGD: 7.5 / 10 by Ken McKown
Horizon Chase 2 is a solid sequel that adds some new pieces that make it a worthy sequel. I do wish the track design was a little better and the upgrades worked across all cars instead of having to dedicate it to the one I am driving. Still there is a lot to love here, the soundtrack, the speed, and the pure arcade excitement. If you have any reverence for games from the arcade era, this is a no-brainer. Definitely worth checking out.

You could argue that Horizon Chase 2 plays things safe, but when what’s on offer is this much fun, does it really matter? Developer Aquiris may have stuck to its tried and tested formula, but with a bold new visual style and improved gameplay across the board, there’s enough here to make the experience feel fresh. And whether you like to race alone against the CPU or online against others, there’s something for you here. For arcade racing game fans eager for something new to test their skills with, this is very highly recommended.
