Nothing like the original, a sequel in the worst way possible
Vector 2’s gameplay largely consists of unnecessary fluff like upgrades and armor and like 3 different currency systems to keep track of (or pay real world money for 😒).
Nothing about the core gameplay itself had been innovated in any meaningful way, which is a shame because I really liked the first game and way hoping this one would improve on the core movement mechanics. No instead the game wastes your time with all this nonsense about getting upgrades and swapping perks and it’s just not what I came to this game for. I can see why it’s labeled as a “roleplaying game” on the App Store.
In short this game is like if vector 1 had even more micro transactions and desperately wanted to be a super grindy rpg instead of a parkour endless runner.

Every person, and article, hates Floor 35.
You cannot beat the game due to a bug on floor 35, where the scanner room doesn’t appear. This bug has been in the game for years at this point, and if you search anything about this floor on Google or Safari, you’ll find tons of people with this issue. It’s likely that the game was never finished from that point to begin with, but that’s really disappointing if true. Floor 30 is the last challenge you’ll ever have.
Regarding that this is great

Review from 2022
I don’t think Nekki will be reading this review as they last updated this game 4 years ago, but here are some things I find annoying about this game.
1. Swipes and taps not registering - Especially in the intro scene that you get when you open the app, the fact that you can’t skip it is very annoying. Along with this, parts like wall jumping don’t register the swipes properly so I end up falling down and dying.
2. Game display - The game display isn’t fitted to the current iPhone display, and it just removes the overall aesthetic. Although it’s not too irritating, if you guys did it with Vector 1, why not do it for this game as well?
3. Plot confusion - I am intrigued to learn more about the story in Vector 2. The fact that the majority of the story is given piece by piece, out of order makes it very confusing to take in. I haven’t completed the game, but from what I’ve learned, there isn’t even an ending to the game.
I love the Vector series and these are just some things I’d like to call out. Props to the Nekki development team for making such a great, memorable game, and I hope you guys begin to update the Vector games more frequently.

First one was better
I don’t like the fact that the game does not really save the round you died in but the parkour is still kind of fun. One other thing is I don’t really like the setting of the game like where it takes place but here are the positive things the games still has you chased by something once you get past other levels like when the drones start chasing you but I guess it was more fun getting chased by a guard and the setting was better in vector 1 like jumping place from place on buildings kind of gives u a little more excitement like making more severe jumps in vector one so vector 2 is not bad it just need a little more change so thanks developers for the vector series.

It’s OK
I think the game is fun. It’s a cool take on the original game that I loved so much. However, it gets absurdly frustrating at times when you know you hit an input, vector doesn’t do it and hits three lasers, a mine and gets hit by the swarm and then your run is basically ruined. Not to mention the swarm is really janky. At times there is no way to avoid it. Even on the “safe” paths, I often feel like there is no way to get away from it other than just plowing head first into a mine instead of sliding. Not to mention the missions can get really tedious. Especially since with some you don’t exactly know where your supposed to be looking and you miss it. Not to mention, it is painfully lacking in what vector is: parkour. I feel like I might get to do 2 tricks a mission if I’m lucky and other than that it’s mostly about spending your protection as best you can. It’s a fun idea but isn’t paired well with what is supposed to make vector fun
TLDR: vector 2 is a cool idea with good mechanics, but is very frustrating far too often. Not to mention the severe lack of parkour in this parkour game

Not anything like the original
In the first vector there were no lasers, or bombs only a hunter and you had to make split second decisions to make it to the end in this game they removed it and I i don’t like the lasers or anything else, sometimes it feels like The game is forcing me to die and the “parkour “ is not fun anymore in the original the parkour looked neat and nice and this game is just not the same let’s not forget the fact they removed levels and collectibles (while yes there are levels you cant choose a individual one) the collectibles being removed made me mad because you went through diffrent paths and the levels lack everything good this game is also pay to win with the “lives” the original did not have lives but in this game there is and if you run out you cant play until tomorrow or you can buy the “premiun version” this game does not live up to the original lacking a simple ending yes there is no ending for your hard work atleast in the original it shows you some sort of ending in this one there’s not anything resembling a ending. TLDR: vector 2 is a pay to win mobile game lacking anything the original did

The game is fun but
I enjoy the game and the mechanics but I don’t like how the game doesn’t save on the level you are on so it takes longer to get there. And sometimes you have low armor and to go through you have to go through something dangerous and you have to keep trying but the energy needed after dying goes up quickly.

This game is alright
Not gonna lie, I really miss the excitement of a guy chasing you. However, the relatively high skill cap was something I was glad to see done away with. I’ve had fun with this game, but I certainly miss the first. If there was just no high skill cap on the first one, and the objective was to get to the end of the level, I wouldn’t have a problem with the first game. But enough about the predecessor, let’s talk about the sequel. This game’s UI and upgrades system isn’t very fun to work with, and the main problem I have with this game is its complexity. If it was just the last game with new levels and themes, and without the strict stars system, it would be perfect. Now, I know, from a developer’s standpoint, it seems boring to do the same thing. However, why do you think that the last one was such so beloved? Its simplicity. All the consistent IP’s have thrived so much, like Mario, Pokémon, and many other great franchises. Why? Because they’re all consistent.

Everything is great!, but one thing...
So I love all the tricks you can do in this game. Also the upgrade system is pretty cool and the game is very addictive. So the thing that is very annoying is that when I try to watch a video to respawn or get items it just doesn’t work and does not want me to watch an ad.
Why the wait
This is a good game but one promblem and that’s the energy you see a lot of people love this game so much it seems this the only thing they want to do and you seriously have to wait 20 minutes for one energy to be rechared and that’s one of the top things gamers hate the most but still a fun game no press

A lot to say
We need a backstory and an ending to this man, and I have a problem with gear charges, we loose charges from our gear taking damage, we should collect charges as we’re running and add a safe zone in the running course, and wait a little bit for the charges, and our rank should stay the same after death.

This is something that you might want to fix
You know when you are running and you see lasers and a mine right under it you have too choose if you want to damage your chest piece or boots yeah that is hard with no durability on them I can’t get a grip on them it makes it so hard to get to the next floor because if you have not enough durability to get through the double traps that are not avoidable can you at least make less of them

Better then the first one
1 first thing is that the game is way better than the first one like the first one isn’t that good because it doesn’t really work because when I try to join it would not let me play it just kicks me out of the game like this is so annoying like how do you expect me to play this game and I don’t have a Second one about how bad the first one so bye and sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

5 stars, you should finish the game
This game is a lot of fun. The mechanics are very smooth, and it has a really nice challenge increase as you progress which I enjoyed. I haven’t gotten hooked on an app like this in a while… right up until floor 35 where I was assigned a mission and then I couldn’t complete it. Devastating. I hope you finish it.

Good but..
I like this game overall but theres this system where you cant just play you only get 5 lives and I hate it because i just want to play the game and ive been playing it off and on for the last 2hours and ive only gotten to play it 2 times because the time calculation is very inaccurate ill not play all night and then only gain 1 life (your supposed to get another life every 15 mins) i think the game would be better as a whole if the devs removed the life system entirely so people can just play the game and not worry about how many lifes they have left.

Good but I like the first one better
Now don’t get me wrong this game is great and some could say a huge improvement but
This game just doesn’t feel right without some guy chasing behind you, it’s you don’t feel that anxiety of having to do everything with perfect timing in order to not get caught and get 3 stars. This is still really good and it doesn’t really feel too different other than what I just mentioned, and that’s a huge problem I have with games is that they change too much stuff and it doesn’t even feel like the same game anymore. When you make a sequel it should feel the same but with new features so that experienced players kinda already have a feel for the controls and this did well so overall this game deserves 4 stars in my opinion

Energy Recharge and The Chapter Armor
This game is Awesome because of the realistically and the parkour free running and stuff, even the fails where you hit the roof and fall or if your too fast or stuff like that and its a great game, Although there are two things, The Energy recharge is 30 minutes for 1 energy play, meaning you have to wait 2 hours and 30 mins, i mean sure premium is a thing but still why cant it be 10 mins or 15 mins? The chapter armor, its cool when you get to the swarm part but say like you wanna go back a few floors or back to chapter one, you keep the swarm armor but it doesnt change back to the laser armor, please fix that and change the coolsoen for energy, Thanks

Please consider!
I love this game. It is so amazing and I never had a boring time playing it, but there’s one problem. The game isn’t finished and the last update was in July of 2017. I still now millions of people play this game and I will speak for the majority of people, we would love the game to finish. I know a lot more success has come from Shadow Fight 3, but I and many others would be very greatful if you were to finish Vector 2. Please consider completing this masterpiece so it can close a incomplete story! Thank you!

Fantastic game
The vector series is very action packed and this game really does bring it when it comes to split second decisions and this game really is fantastic I see no major bugs but can be improved upon by making an ending. With there being no ending the game doesn’t feel immersive almost as if you completed nothing, But overall I love the game even if there is no end.

Amazing, but kind of annoying.
I got this game a few days ago and it is completely addictive. I play it as much as I can, but if you die to many times you have to wait a varying number of minutes, anywhere from ten to half an hour. This is really annoying, especially if I’m playing it just to pass the time. It would be nicer if it was always the same amount of time and shorter, like always five minutes. Also, sometimes it forces you to either choose to get blown up by a land mine or zapped by a layer, and either way you get hurt. This is sometimes very infuriating. Otherwise, it’s is an AMAZING game and I would change nothing else.
