Polynomial 2 is an amazing visual candy which tends to be a space shooter and a music visualizer. Immersive on screen, mind-blowing in VR.
Players praise the game's stunning, psychedelic visuals that pulse and react to the original soundtrack or the player's own music. Reviewers frequently describe the experience as "mesmerizing," "mind-blowing," and capable of inducing a trance-like state, especially when enjoyed in virtual reality (VR). Players can simply float through the beautiful, procedurally-generated space, taking in the visualization without engaging in the game's combat.
The game features multiple levels with different goals and scenarios, as well as a procedurally-generated "insanity" mode that provides an endless, increasingly challenging survival experience. Players can use a variety of weapons, including rockets, lasers, and "healing flower fractals," to take down the game's 10+ enemy types. Reviewers note that the shooting mechanics feel more satisfying than in the previous game, and the ability to aim and fly using the VR headset's tracking is an immersive feature.
Players can further personalize their experience by enabling experimental VR controller support, adjusting the HUD and user interface, and adding their own music playlists to the visualization. While some reviewers note that the first game had more customization options, they express optimism that the developers will continue to expand the game's features during its early access period.
Many players appreciate the game's ability to provide a relaxing, meditative experience. By disabling the combat and HUD elements, players can simply float through the beautiful space while listening to music, often finding the visuals and audio effective in inducing a trance-like state. The open-ended nature and lack of strict objectives allow players to immerse themselves in the experience at their own pace.
