April 2025
Runner2 is a solid runner game which has great artstyle and music. I usually can't play it for more than ~30 minutes at a time since it makes my eyes tired, but even in short bursts you can make a lot of progress since the levels aren't that long (but many offer a nice challenge). Some of the levels (on hard) took a lot of retries and initially felt frustrating, but when I finally passed them, it was really satisfying.

This is a really good endless runner. Gameplay and level design are far superior than any other in the Bit.Trip series. The only problem is the cannon mini-game at the end of each stage: it has nothing to do with the game's mechanics, making the conclusion of each run potentially quite frustrating if you miss the bullseye.

Replaying this game while trying to 100% it for the third time just reminded me of why I like it so much to begin with. Runner2 is the best out of the RUNNER tetralogy. RERUNNER is SO SO close, but I think Runner2 still beats it out by just a hair. This game just has so much charm and personality. Runner3 is more experimental with it's gameplay which I can respect, but Runner2 has the perfect moveset for CommanderVideo. (I still miss the block mechanic in R3.) The soundtrack is still as incredible as ever and Charles Martinet is always a joy to have around. This is one of my favorite games ever and I highly implore everyone to buy it and support the devs. Also a ranking just for fun: Runner2 > RERUNNER > Runner3 > RUNNER Respect your elders of course, but the other three are still vast improvements over the original BIT.TRIP RUNNER. :P

What can I say about BIT.TRIP Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien , it's a great game that I can't stop advising people to buy it not only is a good game but the soundtrack is also top notch if you enjoy this tipe of game you should get it is probably one of the best of not the best in it's category. One of the few games I give a 10/10 not only because it has been a part of my life for the past 11 years since it was released across multiple platforms but hopefully it will continue to be in the future here on steam and such alongside the first one and the BIT.TRIP universe .
