Redout 2

Do you miss WipeOut? I miss WipeOut. F-Zero was neat, but it just didn't have the unhinged track design and "crack your controller in half white knuckle" experience that WipeOut had. And then Sony decided to cram it up their tailpipe and shut down Studio Liverpool, who made probably the best entry of the series of all time. Y'know, because Sony can't help but dome themselves regularly while making doe-eyes at investors. Historically, anyway. This game, though? This has the soul of WipeOut: The screaming, unhinged, hold-the-gas-until-you-meet-god-or-a-trophy speed-freak core of what made that series so damn fun. They even brought a soundtrack that makes you desperately want to do semi-permanent damage to your throttle finger, just like it's spiritual forerunner. Gorgeous tracks and environments, at least while at speed, and some beautiful anti-gravity handling mechanics that feel less like drifting on ice, and more like flying a stunt plane with an unhealthy relationship with the ground. It's WILD. Yes, it's a 4 year old game, and the studio only recently got their game back from Saber (who, I'm surprised, didn't add an overpowered Russian vehicle somehow. Yes, I'm still salty about Snowrunner). No updates since 2024, and that's a damn shame, but it's hardly a problem! This game is the fix for all of you anti-grav racing junkies that grew up plastered to a CRT with a playstation controller in hand, or the N64 if you were nasty old-school. The only thing missing is weaponry, but it's not like you were gonna get a clean shot on anybody in this game without slamming into the wall at Mach Jesus. If you're on the fence, just go try it for a couple hours. It'll win you over.

If you have a high refresh rate (120+Hz) OLED monitor, this is the game to buy. Its a visual treat. Colors just pop on OLED like crazy. I wish this game also supported HDR, but even without it, its a great showpiece. Tracks look great and have lots of detail. Gameplay is great with awesome sense of speed and controls (gamepad is a must). This game runs on unreal engine which means it suffers from SEVERE stutters at the start of each race (stutters go away after 1 lap). Huge blemish on otherwise excellent presentation. If you like racing games, and you've got a great monitor, just buy this game. It also works on linux (been playing it on an nvidia GPU on CachyOS/Arch with 0 issues).

Do yourself a favor and get the first game instead. Redout 1 is a better game in every single aspect, it feels faster, the tracks are well thought out, and the music is night and day better. Redout 2 adds a lot of unnecessary and confusing complexity with the parts and campaign system, sometimes simplicity is better. Its really a shame as this really mirrors the other indie masterpiece Synthetik. The first game is head and shoulders better with a vision, the sequel ends up being nothing like the first and just no where near as good.

参りました 素晴らしいアーケード系レースゲームです このタイトルの1作目とは全くの別物 操作性に直結する要素全てに無駄がない、練られて徹底して調整されているのを感じます 速く走るという事にレースゲームとして嘘がなく、プレイヤーの腕次第、操作体系に関しては遅いも速いも全部自分に委ねられている納得の出来です 残念に思う部分がひとつだけあります レースゲームでは長く遊ぶプレイヤーが行き着く先はタイムアタックです 他の方が指摘されている事ですが 今作は自機をパーツで強化できますが、逆に全てのパーツを収集しないと他のプレイヤーと競う時に不利になります 最大限パーツを使える人と初期のプレイヤーとでは絶対に埋まらない差が生まれます 私はこのシステムに関して仔細を全て確認していないで声高にレビューをする権利はありませんが、他の方のレビューに拠ればパーツ集めは膨大な時間が掛かるそうです アーケード系レースゲームにおいてタイムアタックという華を体験するのに、全てのプレイヤーが同じラインからスタートして技術と知識だけで競う事を阻害する意味はゼロです キャリアモードではパーツ集めを楽しむ、タイムアタックモードでは初めからパーツが揃っている、これでよかったのではないかと思います

The world needs more anti gravity racing games and this one is alright at that. The bread and butter of this game is stacking speed boosts to achieve incredible speeds.While it's incredibly fun and rewarding to temporarily sacrifice 95% of your hitpoints to achieve supersonic speed, doing that constantly, hearing the beeping danger sound of your health being low and then hearing it regenerate warps the game too much for my taste. The most important thing of any racing game, that is how it feels to drive, this game does well: ships handle well and the game has great sense of speed. Now come the negatives: There isn't much meat to the game: there's only racing and lap time attacks.You repeat those over and over again in a singleplayer campaign where they drip feed you incremental upgrades to your ship(+5% speed, +10% steering etc), which is dull.The campaign is simply bloated. Track design is hit and miss.All of them look great and have impressive vistas.However there are many questionable turns and jumps.This is exacerbated by tracks being very long and every track having a reverse counterpart making memorizing them difficult and frustrating.There's a rewind feature which feels like a band aid for poor track design. With all that said, I still recommend this game at a discount.The sheer joy of driving in this game is amazing despite all the aforementioned issues.

born too late to understand wipeout, born too soon to race real AG vehicles, born just in time to play redout 2

Jumped into arcade mode to check out the tracks and different vehicles. These tracks are awful. Constant blind turns, too visually similar to previous tracks, and this whole jump/land aspect feels half-thought out. The music is constantly building up to something it never quite reaches, and it really threw me off during the races. Eh.. This just clearly isn't for me.

VITESSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES AND FORCED TUTORIALS IN PLENTY, where they litterally stop your vehicle to tell you how to "strife" I got no patience for bullcrap like that.

buy if you like to go fast some people are saying this is one of the harder ag racers to get into for new players but honestly this is the first ag racer ive ever played and im flying through tracks without issue. its very challenging and complex with an absurd skill ceiling, but the controls are really responsive and the ui is very easy to read, so once you get a feel for combining turning and strafing the tracks start to feel pretty intuitive. optimal boost usage perpetually leaving you one touch from death was a stroke of genius and will have your palms sweating while you whiteknuckle the ♥♥♥♥ out of your controller for an entire run. very intense and extremely fun. !!also note for new players, the game defaults to an easier difficulty with assisted controls and inverted pitch. you can choose whatever difficulty you want (and pitch settings i guess...) but if you actually want to learn how to play the game id highly recommend turning all the assisted controls off. its way more fun that way.
