I do hope I can pick that up sometime, it’s nearly as perfect as Chase Turbo’s. There’s a real sense of trying to capture that classic racer vibe whilst rendering a beautifully designed colour palette in your face in its damn-near perfect refresh rate. It feels like I’m playing in an arcade with my mates around me cheering me on. Using modern technology to create retro looking tracks, it feels old school. I’m not entirely sure how to explain the visual style. The wondrous handling of Chase Turbo is back and feels even better than it did before, giving you those all-important OutRun vibes whilst blasting your eyeballs with beautifully rendered old-school tracks that are a delight to tear around. I’ve been playing the game on a 2021 iPad with an Xbox controller synced up via Bluetooth and it just looks and feels so damn perfect. Finally.īut how and why? First and foremost, god it looks good on the iPad screen. Horizon Chase 2 currently is only available on iDevices with a planned console and PC release next year, but if you have yourself a shiny Apple thing then this is without question the reason to get yourself into Apple Arcade. The original Horizon Chase Turbo was superb, a perfectly weighted pocket arcade racer that developers Aquiris dutifully ported to everything imaginable and managed to keep it stable and super fun across all systems. Then of course, Horizon Chase 2 comes along. It’s a service that isn’t worth even the £5 a month they’re asking for and I’ll be damned if it ever will be. Its selection of top quality games is meagre to poor (The Last Campfire being really the only must play), the promises Apple preached at launch of ‘only the highest quality’ has been ceremoniously ripped to shreds as they built a library of useless mobile games that nobody with a sense of quality would ever make it their business to play. I’ve been signed up to Apple Arcade for the best part of this year and honestly, I really don’t know why. Horizon Chase 2 is a good enough reason immediately subscribe to Apple Arcade.
