Redout 2

PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS4/5, Switch £25.99, Age rating: N/A

Fans of the futuristic arcade racer will welcome the sequel to Redout. Vehicles are faster, smoother, and moreresponsivethanitspredecessor, with new dual-stick controls andboostingmechanics.However, with combat removed and an unforgiving difficulty level, as well as tracks that often make navigation unclear, Redout 2 still misses the mark, and offers little to new players. For fans of the first though, this is punishingly high-paced and beautifully presented and should continue to scratch the itch they left for a good while longer. 7/10

Occasionally head-scratching, the game’s ambient soundtrack adds to smooth, engaging graphics, giving a high polish that will leave even bored puzzle game fans satisfied. 7/10
