In 2012 when FuturLab dropped Velocity into our palms, the indie side-scrolling 2-D platformer (mouthful that is) craze was still in its infancy, at least on consoles anyway.
It was a breath of fresh air with it's stunning visuals and unique game-play mechanics. The year is now 2014 and it's sequel has arrived, could this better the much loved original? Short answer, HELL YES.
Despite being Sony's handheld that couldn't quite make it, there's no shortage of the best PlayStation Vita games.
TSA writes: "Time is frozen for Lt. Kai Tana as she looks at her surroundings, travelling at a seemingly impossible velocity while navigating sharp corners and narrow tunnels with guile. She has to get home, and no one is going stop her, not even the nefarious General Glaive. The illusion is quickly shattered, as I crash into one of the nearby walls. Without a second thought, I press restart for the thirteenth time. This is Velocity 2X, and I have to get her home."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Switch owners who never attempted Velocity 2X on Vita or PS4: do yourself a favor and check it out, especially if you enjoy scrolling shooters and/or fast-paced platform action. While some of the storytelling is tonally out of sync or corny, and a few stages outstay their welcome, the majority of the game is fast, fluid, layered, varied, replayable, and attractive. Don't wait another four years to play one of the better indie game on the market."
