    Boring and repetitive. Non-challenging at least not in an interesting way. Meaningless story/interludes. I do like 2D platformers and shoot-em-ups, but this is just uninteresting. Got it for free with PS+, but will never play again.

    Real score 5,. but gets 0 to balance out the unrealistic scores from magazines and FuturLab employees.

    This game looks and plays like it belongs on a Super Nintendo. From 1990. If I played this on my iphone, I might think it was ok. But how can anyone rate this game 9 or 10 as a PS4 next gen game???!!! Just Ridiculous!

    First you get the impression the tutorials will never end, then you fell you do not learn anything useful. The game is so simple it feels cheap even for free with PSN+. It's not a good shooter neither a good plataformer.

    Another side scrolling mobile game with a terrible story and boring gameplay.
    I can't even understand how anyone can rate this 9/10!
    After 2 hours it's blatant that this isn't even a game it's "angry birds"!
    It would also be nice if Sony didn't force me to buy PS+ so I could skip the bad months like this one!

    I honestly cannot understand a hype around this game.
    It is a very, very simplistic game. It's neither a competent scroll-shooter, nor a worthy puzzler.
    The side-scrolling "runner" sections are laughable. Please behold a classic "hype-train" situation, when one lazy reviewer starts a tendency and the sheep follow. This isn't the BEST PS4 game. By no means. It is ridiculous to rate    I honestly cannot understand a hype around this game.

    This isn't the BEST PS4 game. By no means. It is ridiculous to rate it over Destiny, Killzone, Alien Isolation or Middle-Earth. Get down on the Earth, people. You just ruin the competent top-lists with such ridiculous scoring.    … Expand

    I only played as long as I did because everyone was saying how good it was and I wanted to give it a fighting chance.

    The game is a shooter moving screen game, high score chasing deal. If you enjoy collecting things to move forward to the next level this might be something for you, otherwise the game controllers are fine, and the plot is fine, but the tedious collection system that makes you advance really kills it.

    Интересный шмап со множеством разнообразных фич в геймплее. Приятная музыка и графика. Ненавязчиво и интересно. Рекомендую...............................................

    In a game that encourages perfection to the nanosecond, having to occasionally stop to think about which button does what can occasionally cost time. It's a small issue and one that won't affect players unconcerned with high scores.

    Velocity 2X is a lightning-fast, varied and extremely entertaining game that seamlessly mixes different genres in creative ways. It’s a must-own for the Playstation 4 as well as the PS Vita and hopefully a future speedrunning classic.

    Velocity 2X is absolutely worth playing. This game offers the lovely combination of platforming, space shooting and puzzling. There are a few flaws, but for the price that this game costs, we won’t even mention them.
