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.

Game Ratings for Horizon Chase 2 Video Game.
NintendoWorldReport: 8 / 10 by Zachary Miller
Horizon Chase 2 is a great game, but it's quite the masterpiece that its predecessor was. That said, this is a no brainer if you loved the arcade racing goodness of Horizon Chase Turbo, because that part, at least, has not been modified in this sequel.

Outside of the core campaign, there’s online multiplayer with full crossplay, which should help to ensure matchmaking remains snappy across a prospectively small install base. Rotating challenges also offer new gameplay wrinkles and modifiers to keep things fresh in a very basic live service fashion, with cosmetic unlocks like paint and leaderboards available to keep you engaged. Ultimately, the game won’t hold your attention for too long, but you’ll be smiling plenty while it lasts.

Horizon Chase 2 is a brilliant sequel to an already fun retro-themed racer. Gorgeous visuals, much-improved track designs, better handling, a more interesting progression and even a brand new online mode with cross-play to boot. It may lack the cinematic story presentation of the first game’s Senna Forever DLC, but other than that, this sequel is the best the series has ever been, and it’s a pretty much essential buy for fans of old school racers.
