Redout 2 is a game that looks amazingly sleek and fun through pictures, descriptions, and videos. The facade is dropped when you actually play the game for yourself, and find a slew of poor design choices, unnecessary difficulty curves, incomplete features, and repetitive gameplay. This doesn't even include the atrociously implemented HDR that burned my eyes and gave me a headache. Even if you're a fan of the genre, I recommend sticking with the first Redout until this sequel is heavily patched or discounted.

Specifically designed for people who need to master every track - anyone who stops short of that probably won't enjoy it too much. It's meant for people who want racers to challenge them, so if that's what you're after, this is a game you need to play.
