KotakuKeza MacDonaldAug 2015Flows confidently between shooter, puzzler and platformer, never runs out of ideas, and challenges both your mind and your reflexes. Oh, and it looks and sounds gorgeous.

Hardcore GamerMatt WhittakerSep 2014Velocity 2X isn't just one of the best games of the year, it might just be the best downloadable title available on the PlayStation 4.

TheSixthAxisStefan LSep 201410/10Velocity 2X delivers another dose of pitch perfect shoot 'em up gameplay, but refuses the rest on the laurels of its predecessor. Taking Kai out of her Quarp Jet opens up whole other avenues for the gameplay that only gets better and better as you progress, with every other part of the game lavished with further polish and refinement. I can only think to echo the sentiment and the score that we awarded the original.

Pure NintendoPeter LopezOct 20184/10While Velocity 2X deserves merit for blending two different forms of gameplay into one hefty treat, 2X quickly becomes bland after the course of only a few minutes.
