Horizon Chase 2 is the sequel to a critically acclaimed indie racing game originally released for Apple Arcade, now available on various consoles. Due to the immense success of the first game, the studio was acquired by Epic Studios.

Compared to its predecessor, Horizon Chase 2 doesn't introduce significant changes. It remains a racing game inspired by titles released on the Super Nintendo. The gameplay stays true to its roots, offering limited control over your car, allowing you to brake, accelerate, and turn left and right. Each race begins with you in the last position, and your goal is to reach the podium.

The art can be considered near-perfect when you take into account what the developers aimed to achieve. Don't expect realistic graphics; as mentioned earlier, it draws inspiration from classic racing games on the Super Nintendo.

Horizon Chase 2 is a suitable option for those who aren't adept at racing games and are seeking a departure from the typical gameplay found in franchises like Need For Speed and Forza. Despite being a better game than its predecessor, there is a noticeable lack of inspiration in this sequel.

For Apple Arcade users, it's a must-play, even for those not particularly fond of racing games like myself. As for other platforms, I recommend considering it if you can find it at a reasonable price.
