WOW!
Velocity 2X is one of the free games on PS+ this month. I wasn't expecting much, but holy shit, this game is fucking fast! It's also tons of fun! The game is very unique in concept. It's kind of two games in one. Parts of it are a vertical space shooter, while other parts are a 2D action game. The game is full of unique concepts.
The ship has a boost, a rapid-fire cannon and a teleporting ability. The boost is basically a button that makes the screen scroll faster. Along the paths, there are survivors to collect (they are just boxes), enemies to shoot and sometimes gates to open. The big twist is that the ship can and must teleport to survive. It's really hard to explain in text, but I can teleport short distances to bypass obstructions and navigate the level.
In the on-foot action levels, the heroine must collect crystals and reach an exit. She has a dash, a teleport and a 360 degree rapid fire gun. The game has a huge focus on speed. Medals are awarded for each level based on speed, crystals collected, survivors collected and points.
In some of the levels, the action transitions between ship and on-foot on the fly. For example, to disable a laser gate, the heroine must exit the ship, enter a building, find the switch that turns off the laser and get out to continue in her ship. I think that's really cool.
The best thing about the game is simply how it feels. The gameplay is fucking rock solid. Every move is precise, fast and fun. I just love to fly through the levels as fast as I can. The sheer speed of the action makes this game very entertaining.
