Audiosurf 2

Dope

i dont care how stupid and of-it's-time it is, you can't make me hate this game. i already love loud-ass music, and now i get to play a game with that loud-ass music in it. delightful.

also kinda unrelated but this game REALLY reminds me of some visualizer mod i had for windows media player on my old laptop. either way, the vibe goes hard.

Audiosurf 2: Where Your Music Collection Becomes a Rollercoaster of Chaos

The Good

• Your Music, Your Rules: The game lets you play with your own music library, which is great until you realize your favorite slow ballad turns the game into a snooze-fest. On the flip side, heavy metal tracks will make you feel like you’re on a caffeine overdose.
  
• Endless Replayability: With your entire music library at your fingertips, you’ll never run out of tracks to play. Just don’t be surprised when you spend hours trying to beat your high score on the same song.
  
• Mods and Skins: The Workshop is packed with mods and skins, so you can customize your experience to look as ridiculous or as sleek as you want. Want to ride a rainbow unicorn while collecting blocks? You can do that.
  
• Relaxing and Chaotic: Depending on the song, the game can either be a chill, meditative experience or a frantic, button-mashing nightmare. It’s like yoga, but with more adrenaline and less flexibility.
  

The Bad

• Your Music, Your Shame: The game exposes your questionable music taste like no other. That embarrassing Nickelback song you secretly love? Yeah, it’s front and center now.
  
• Learning Curve: The game is easy to pick up but hard to master. You’ll spend the first few hours crashing into blocks and wondering why your ship won’t go where you want it to.
  
• Repetitive Gameplay: After a while, the gameplay can start to feel repetitive. Collect blocks, dodge obstacles, repeat. It’s fun, but don’t expect a deep narrative or complex mechanics.
  
• Some Songs Just Don’t Work: Not every song is created equal. Slow, ambient tracks can make the game feel like a slog, while overly complex songs can turn it into an unplayable mess.
  

The Ugly

• Your High Score Obsession: You’ll spend hours trying to beat your high score on a single song, only to realize you’ve been playing the same track for three hours straight.
  
[*]The Blocks: Sometimes the blocks just don’t line up with the beat, and you’ll find yourself yelling at your screen, “That’s not how the song goes!”

Additional Notes

needs the community patch nowadays to be good but its peak

Buckle up, you're going to embark on a psychedelic journey through your playlists

The Game features a few different modes like: Mono, Ninja, Ninja Turbo, Mono Turbo. The Game features a few different skins: classic, glowtastic. Download Now!

make sure you switch to the "beforejune2018_xp" version to use songs from YouTube

huh

I suck at it but it's fun

Here is a review ! this game isn't that great ! leaving a review so steam doesn't ask me to review it !

AS2 has its share of problems, but there's still nothing else like it.

Pros

• It's a procedurally generated music "rider" that allows you to play your music. There is nothing else like it (that actually seems decent), so yeah. It's a lot of fun and I get to play my niche music that isn't charted on any rhythm game otherwise.
  

Cons

• Songs played through YouTube still have a slight delay on the community patch
  
• Game still shows its age with simplistic options and graphics
  
• They really could've upped their visualizer game here but the skins and visuals are still kinda lacking
  
• Songs just sometimes aren't as well charted as they could be; climaxes in a song aren't given the weight they should. Perhaps better algorithms to generate tracks could solve this problem but it's unknown
  
[*] Audioshmup (as someone who hasn't played shmups) feels extremely unpredictable and unintuitive; projectiles move in almost random patterns

Decent experience.

Great game, can play any song without worrying about someone making a map. Would appreciate if there was some newer version of this with better UI.

Absolutely loved the original when I played it over a decade ago, remembered this one existed recently and decided to give it a go. It's more audiosurf! I enjoy the mod support a lot.

My recommendation comes with the caveat that you get the fan patch along with this.

Easily one of the better 'music' based games out there. I've had both Audiosurf and Audiosurf 2, from launch. Two is way better, since there's so many more modes. I still play it to this day, in 2025.

good

One of my favorite games growing up. I last played this July 5th of 2017 at the wee age of 14-years-old. Lots of memories of this game and rocking out to pirated copies of mp3 files of Evanescence.

It would be nice if an Audiosurf 3 came out one day that could connect to YouTube Music, Spotify, or another music streaming service. I think it would be quite successful.

This game was made in 2015, so if you're new to this and wondering where to get MP3 files without getting a virus, I definitely wouldn't tell you. Piracy is a crime and a very serious one at that. There are murderers and pedophiles on the loose in America, but God forbid poor Timmy downloads GOT Season 3, Episode 9, they absolutely need to be fined $100,000 and put into jail for 5 years because they don't want to subscribe to Max.

I definitely would never pirate any form of digital media whatsoever, I also would never ever admit tell you that I got all of my songs from spotifydown.com, no siree. I am an upstanding citizen of the law. I would also never recommend moving your illegally downloaded songs into your music folder to make things easier.

Piracy is a crime, ladies and gents, don't try it.

how to train your aim 2

This game is fun as hell, but it will probably keep you up until 3 am if you've got a lot of music on your computer.

Play your music- Plenty of mods, plenty of chill.

CTD simulator

If you're looking for an oldschool, simplistic game to either vibe to using music (or even mp3 tracks or youtube links thanks to the revived community mod) - this is the game for you!
It auto-generates a track for you based on the audio, track intensity (BPM and so on).

Select multiple community made skins and gamemodes available on the workshop, take the competition and the challenge to the next level and check the functioning global scoreboards for each track if you're up for it! (assuming people played that specific track/link before).

any song you have the audio file for can be made into a level. pretty goated

By far one of the coolest rhythm games I've ever played. You move your mouse back and forth to control a spaceship in order to both collect blocks and dodge obstacles. Also, you can play literally ANY song you can think of provided you have the .mp3 files. Yes any song! It builds a track after you upload the .mp3 and lets you play it right away. Aside from that, tons of mods for more visuals / game modes. I'd give it a 9/10 because I only just figured out how the scoring system works after 9 hours lol

gud geme

do you think surf rock would be the best genre in this game?

It's a fun game

Had major performance issues with Audiosurf 1 on my Linux which led me to give Audiosurf 2 a shot. Happy to say it seems to run native, Great graphics, fun game modes, and massive improvements in the algorithm.

The folder system in the game is a notable downgrade from Audiosurf 1. I have yet to find a way to access my flash drive in-game. Consequently all songs have to be locally stored on your computer. Thankfully I have a lot of disc space to hold my music library, but this is never going to work on my laptop.

Track selection with a game controller does not seem to work unless I manually select a song within a folder with a computer mouse.

Overall a very fun game with some inconvenciences that is worth the money on sale.

Great and unique experience. The game automatically creates a track for your track, so you can easily play your favorite songs by just selecting the mp3 files on your PC - no modding required!

If you can, get the original. This is worse in almost every way. Sure, they added some modularity, but the gameplay itself is worse, and the gameplay is what it should be about.
Bricks are harder to see, colors are not as easy to recognize, and the camera movement makes my head hurt. Nothing was a problem in the first one.

Drunk review: Love. Love!
Big fan of both 1 and 2. Need this genre to pop off even more.
Thank you so much for the awesome game

good

Ever wonder what it’s like to snowboard on your Spotify playlist? Audiosurf 2 lets me turn my guilty pleasures into high-octane, rhythm-based chaos. One minute, I’m cruising to Beethoven like a classy gamer, and the next, I’m dodging obstacles to 'Never Gonna Give You Up' like my life depends on it.

Pros - simple and relaxing
Cons - Other similar genre-games are more in-depth and visually appealing, but for an older-release date, this game is pretty good.

This game slappers in 2024. They turned off the Youtube URL support but a community patch restores that, and is mandatory for this game to be 10/10.

get high and lock in

it literally doesn't function, i cant get it to detect any songs on my computer at all, not even my Judas Priest album in my disk drive, which i used heavily on the first game, this is severely disappointing beyond belief

it only managed to find 16 songs, most of which were just Vampire survivor transition noises, so not even music, and none was a hidden track from some indie game, and it just sounds like one of those "secretly an ARG key" MP3 Files

A good mid-2010s rhythm game, where it allows you to audiosurf your musical collection with a couple of unique modes (built-in and modded) that lets you experience your audiosurfing differently for novelty or competition. It has some flaws, like no key YouTube support with it's disappointing visuals, compared to it's original game (and then some), but nothing but a community patch and some modded skins for it won't fix them. Would recommend audiosurfing the dementia!

very fun and great for jamming to music while u play

It's Guitar Hero, but with real music

Wee!----!--!-! what | can say is it help get a sticky brain unstuck

One of the better games on steam :)

Its pretty fun if you're a music enthusiast and the game really shines when played with fast-paced songs(especially electronic music) with changing rhythms and flows. Swing also really affects how rollercoaster tracks are formed and played out. The big CAVEAT is that the base game no longer has the key feature of being able to search on YouTube for the songs but now requires you have a file copy of the song. This was only because YouTube was not fine with the feature. NONETHELESS, there is a mod(not on Steam Workshop- on a website) that reintegrates that feature back into the game and its pretty easy to do. There are also mods on the Steam Workshop to help customize the visuals of the game(maybe more- haven't look much into it).

I was hesitant to get this because it looks simple, but it's just deceptive and has more depth than that. I've gotten lazier about finding music as I've gotten older so It's nice to have this modded to have youtube and song of the day where I can put it in my daily games category in my Steam library and hear a new song every day. It's usually electronic which I like, but there are other genres in there. It's relaxing and satisfying to play, and the many skins and different game modes and workshop options make it awesome. I would pay full price knowing what I know now, but I got it for 2 bucks or something. Also there's a weird nostalgia appeal to it that I can't put my finger on. I didn't play the first one so IDK what it is. Anyway, I love it, and I will probably be doing the daily songs 10 years from now.

it's fun

great fun, get into the beat of any song and just score points. leader boards can make it fun too

looks more interesting than it actually is

I love this. Best rhythm game I've ever played.

Give it a shot.

yes plz, spent 2 years doin drugs and nothin brings back sikk timez like this here game!

Play with your music, what's not to love?
