    Velocity 2X might look and feel a bit simple, but beneath that lies a rather entertaining hybrid of a shoot-em-up and a 2D platformer. It works best in small doses rather than long play sessions, but manages to score a lot of points on charm, aesthetic and tight game design.

    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.… Full Review »

TheHands down my favorite sci-fi shooter game of the past few years! Extremely fast-paced, never a boring minute, and challenging too! The controls flow surprisingly well and the game itself just feels polished. Get PS+ and you get this game for free, so no reason to not at least try it!… Full Review »
