Audiosurf 2 Critic Reviews

Audiosurf 2 is a worthy successor to the original experience. While Mono mode is, of course, the main star, you can find quite a few other interesting modes that provide a change of pace. While on its own the game is quite good, by factoring in the user-created modes and skins, Audiosurf 2 becomes even better.

It may be short but it is really sweet.

The representation of the music is just so much more alive than it was before – these courses absolutely buzz with life and energy.

Another ride on your favorite music, with more graphics and less polish.

If you want to relax and listen to your music Audiosurf 2 is a good pick. The introduction of Steam Workshop works well and adds variety and depth, whereas the UI has some issues, and the management of the music library is a bit tricky.

The algorithm that builds tracks based on songs is outstanding, but when its novelty wore off and I got bored of feeding it mp3s to see what happens, I returned to Audiosurf less and less frequently.

In the music industry, there is a thing called ‘second album syndrome’. Dylan Fitterer could not avoid it, too. He removed all the obvious thorns of the original Audiosurf, but added just a handful of new things, like integration with Steam Workshop and SoundCloud, new color schemes and a new gameplay mode. It’s not enough to entice me to switch from the original game to the sequel.
