    Pros: Good solid Shooting and Scooting copied directly from Doom and lots of Upgradeability and loot.
    Cons:AVG Story, Writing, Cringy Dialogue at times, typical bland characters, shallow character depth, and repetitive gameplay after a while.

    Please ignore the negative reviews.. Rage is a fun filled blast of everything that makes ID software shooters so amazing, and everything that makes avalanche open world games so fun.

    The story exists, but its not super interesting... Did you care about to doom story? no...

    The game is amazing, and well worth a purchase.

    DOOM + Mad Max = RAGE 2

    If these are two games you loved -- you're going to love what they've done here. It's everything it's been advertised to be and delivers it in full.

    Would not recommend unless on sale.

    Its a decent game but its not worth of its current price tag.

    Contents start to run dry and become repetitive after awhile. But the gun play is good and dynamic.

    I really wanted to like Rage 2 but unfortunately it is boring and dull and with way too much pink color for a post apocalyptic game (i can't understand why they chose that stupid color palete for the graphics) also the game is suffering from some of the same problems that the first game did when it released eight years ago.

The story is forgetable and many missions are repetitive and plain boring. The fact that the main campaign only lasts 10 hours is outrageous for a single player game especially for the price tag that Bethesda has placed on Rage 2. Probably the most enjoyable aspect of the game is the combat system but it’s buried beneath a ton of garbage… Expand

    This game is incredibly boring. I don't even think that I will be able to force myself to complete it.

    The combat mechanics feels boring and at times even unresponsive. Don't even get me started on the awful driving mechanics and sound design... Difficulty levels are strange af.
    This game feels really stiff and as you could imagine, stiffness in a fps pretty much ruins the whole experience.
    Uninteresting story. Characters and the protagonist is just meh.
    Not too fond of the graphics and look of the game either...
    ID should've just developed this in house and kept Avalanche out of it. Hopefully this doesn't affect Doom Eternal in any way.
    I can't really recommend this game to anyone as it's not even a good time-waster.

    Edit: The shotgun is probably the worst I've experienced in any game ever. Feels underpowered and no oomph to it!
    Plus if you're a fan of Bethesda, the bugs probably won't disappoint you either.    … Expand

    Typical bugthesda game. To be honest the shooter mechanics are great, but the rest is awefull. Empty open world, boring characters, zero and I mean ZERO story.
    For 10-15 h campaign it is not worth 60-70 $/€. Days gone is a ton more fun than this game and has no microtransactions

    Pra mim é um Doom Open World, curti o game é divertido é legal, gostei dos gráficos e das armas, a historia é simples , mas comprei o jogo pela diversão e não pela historia , pra mim foi uma otima compra pois curto jogos FPS raiz.

I couldn't believe that such a great game did get only 6/10.

    I have a similar situation with Rage 2. From the start I've noticed that shooting in the game is great but something didn't click for me...

    I've felt the game is too slow, there's a lot of needles driving, maybe there was a bit too much purple and pink everywhere. But... after maybe 3 or 4 hours I've started to love it.

    The world looks great, shooting and powers are awesome. Guns are fun to use, attacking convoys is actually pretty fun when I've tried it. The story? It's not bad really, it's just there. The main element of this game is shooting, and I really enjoy it.

    Fantastic game, for sure I will be coming back to it just like I'm coming back to Doom 2016.

    I'm 34 for and been playing games since I was 9. Trust me and give this game a shot. Don't trust reviewers. I'm picky with the games, and I try a lot of them.

    Rage 2 is simply pure fun.    … Expand

    - Loot system is fine but how you find the loot has an opposite pace to the combat. If it were Fallout 5 with slower combat and more of an exploratory nature, it'd be fine but the combat is fun and fast (Way better than Fallout) but then you spend 10 minutes searching for all the boxes in the area. It's frustrating bc I just want to get back to the combat. Just put all the loot into 1 or 2 caches at the end of of each area like any wastelander group would do to protect it.    … Expand

    Start on Hard difficulty, Normal is way too easy with all these gadgets.
    Story and world (including characters) are kind of stupid, kinda funny, but maybe its a good thing as it does not force you to care.
    It works fast! In FPS and almost no loading matters.
    After 25 hours I faced literally like 3-5 collision bugs that did not affect the game. Nothing else. In the game where you can blow so many things its more than good.

    Real cons that bothers me:
    - I am not a fan of pink color and general NPCs looks and sounds mediocre, but world and fight scenes look awesome
    - Some sounds and music are just unpleasant and noisy, I got tired on headphones.

    Far Cry meets Wolfenstein (or maybe Doom?). Open world, plenty of side missions and locations, story is light, but great shooting mechanics and it looks great (2k res, GTX 1080TI).

    Biggest complain: the game saves are not in the cloud (using Bethesda launcher), so it won't sync between different machines. I was able to solve it by pointing the "save games" folder to a onedrive location.

    I loved the Mad Max game from Avalanche Studios but Rage 2 tops it. The combat feels very Doom-like and the setting is definitely a continuation from Rage 1 that I played many years back so it's a nice feeling overall. The graphics are great and it runs fine on my five year old AMD PC.

    Rage 2 is really only like rage 1 only in visuals and name though 1 wasn't a great game and on launch had many of the technical issues now seen with rage 2 on pc and consoles.
    Rage 2 is also not Mad Max which was the devs critically exclaimed but poorly received last game. I loved mad max. So i hoped i would love rage 2. I did enjoy aspects of R2 but like Days Gone ps4 it has launched in a less than desirable state.

    There are graphic issues on all systems. Even on my kick ass gaming rigg it isn't anything special. In 2019 I find this disappointing. Though the lighting is often excellent, as is the world design but your characters (man or woman) are awful.

    The sound is acceptable though it can cut out and music is also a little too glitchy and doesn't always play in a dynamic way fitting to the on-screen action .

    Gameplay is good...fun..thrilling! Excellent at times.
    But can be hit and miss with large open areas of nothing to see or do. Gun-play is cool and creative as expected but there isn't always enough to do with it or long enough to enjoy the best parts of the game.

    The missions are whacky and the story is zaney but like the characters ...nothing special. They are the worst part.
    There can be a fair bit of repetition and grind at times though there is a variety of things to do but spread thinly.

    Car combat is not on mad max level of speed or quality. I have no idea why but I guess this is to do with the console limitations. It just isn't that fun though much of what there is has been lifted directly from mad max.

    Lastability. No multiplayer right now which makes no sense when you see the micro transactions. It will last about 12 hours on medium difficulty. The AI is nothing special so you can play on hard but it doesn't change the game signififacntly beyond creating an artificial hardness and maybe a few more hours. If you're a completionist then maybe 20 hours but that's a lot of grind and busy work, as side missions aren't anything special or inspired.

    Lets talk micro transactions. This is my main issue outside of the many tech and performance problems.

    Four different payment choices for the game's premium currency, called RAGE Coins.
    You should rage at these coins!

    500 RAGE Coins: $4.99
    1100 RAGE Coins: $9.99
    2,500 RAGE Coins: $19.99
    4,500 RAGE Coins: $34.99

    This is a full price single player AAA game and on day one you have desirable content removed and sold back to the user. Its cosmetic for now but the game is based around cosmetics...the look of the guns and cars etc. Looking cool is the gameplay so charging players at full price to buy what they use to earn (in rage 1 and most games) is sleazy.

    The premium store is not hidden and you will be aware of it and gently pushed towards them.
    It's mostly weapon and vehicle skins but as the main game lacks a wealth of actual content or story I find these transactions harmful to the game.

    There are also items available in the store you can purchase. They're are found through the game in the campaign and the idea is to skip the game and buy them early. You can use the in game's currency to pay for these items too but not the cosmetics.
    I felt that the game forces you in contact with the micro transactions which is some destiny 2 level of shady stuff.

    There is no way for you to get RAGE Coins unless you purchase them from the store. Real money in a AAA full price game. How you feel about that is your choice but it isn't great.

    Summary: PC version runs better than consoles. Though it still has many launch issues.
    The car mechanics are 'off' and there are micro transactions in a game which didn't previously have them. Gun play is excellent . The gameis fun.

    I'd wait for them it patch it but its a fun game and worth your time.    … Expand

Not one filler objective is a copy & paste of the last which I have been really impressed with. Big improvement on the just cause series & you'd struggle to go more than a few 100m before discovering the next location. There are roaming traders & various other NPCs with small challenges all over the wasteland. Each city I've come across so far has It's own memorable personality, the team seem to have taken a lot of care in bringing these places to life & if you stop & appreciate the smaller details you'll see this for yourself. Haven't had to many issues in terms of glitches, few interaction icons taking a while to load in etc but nothing game breaking & major. The issues with Rage 2 from a technical standpoint seem to be more similar to the more polished PS2 era of gaming as apposed to the 'release it half finished' culture of modern times. Mechanics and game play are great, very doom-esque & extremely fun with depth to weapons & player abilities. close to 20 hours & I've hardly touched the story or world around me. If you're into open world first person shooters you'll more than likely enjoy this game! Don't normally pre-order & i'm not disappointed with my decision to pre-order Rage 2. If you're not an entitled 21st century cry baby you wont be disappointed.

    hat you will get is a really varied medium size world filled with Mad Max, post apocalyptic brilliant architecture/artwork and lots of enemies to shoot. You have it all here, rocky terrain, desert, lush green area, swampy area. A lot ! Gunfights are really well done. You just want to shoot and cause mayhem. And this will be easily available with the decent selection of weapons and power ups. Some of them are really special, will help you dispose of enemies in a very creative way. Remember, this game is not about stealth, it is about going through the main door guns blazing and destroying everything in your path.

    Action is fluid and if your machine cant squeeze 60 fps out of this title you can use dynamic resolution scaling which worked pretty well for me. I was getting 45-60 fps @ 3440 x 1440 so decided to test this graphic option and to my surprise I got my 60 fps with no noticeable hit to the visuals. I kept switching between the two for 1 hour and honestly I the feature is working really well.

    Your goal is to stop general cross from purifying earth. To be honest I do not really care about the story, I just want to spend more time in this world executing very gory kills. This is where the heart and soul of the game is, the rest is more of a background so don't expect ambitious plot. Here it is rather simple and stop general Cross insurrection, protect the wasteland from his insanity.

    To get from A to B you need to use one of many vehicles. These are fun to drive, dont expect Mad Max brilliant car fights but these are entertaining enough to bring more variety. When you stop your car, walk out and see convoy of three dusty cars going the desert road you feel like in Mad Max world. It is a truly special feeling.

    Overall I think that this game is a solid 8/10. If like me you are fan of post apocalyptic setting, Mad Max and published by bethesda shooters you might stretch it to 8.5 or even 9 if decimal scoring system is not your thing. I wanted fun, mindless fun and this game delivers.

    Pros:
    - Gunplay
    - beautiful explosions (Avalanche knows how to do those) , AMAZING
    - Mad Max like world
    - full 21:9 support and decent number of options
    - decent performance (+ for dynamic resolution)

    Cons:

I absolutely love the shooting in this game. It's a lot like Doom16 as in the push-forward-combat. You are rewarded for going in guns blazing. And the steady progression with skills and tech improvements keeps it fun. There's often an upgrade to an existing skill you look forward to trying out, or a new skill altogether. Some locations are very vertical in design which provide for some awesome combat tactic options.

    The world itself has plenty of stuff in it, but somehow manage to still feel a bit on the sterile side. It's very much like Far Cry in that respect. Goons spawn in just out of sight, standing at the side of the road, sometimes fighting other groups of goons. And you can choose to engage. But it has no impact on anything. It only serves as minor distractions for the player and to make the world seem alive. It's fine I guess, but it feels a bit cheap.

    The engagement points on the map however, are quite cool and rather diverse. Some are tied directly to missions and can be explored even though the missions aren't active. In those cases the locations will have goons lurking about to serve as temporary engagement until the mission for the location is active. It's nice, although also quite annoying as you will often actually see the goons spawn in right in front of you. I never liked spawn points like that. But it's easy enough that it serves as a cool distraction while exploring the location. You can always choose not to do so, and simply wait until you have a proper mission for it.

    Other locations have importance even without missions attached. There's several different types. Crashed meteors, authority turrets, caves with huge troll like creatures lurking in them. It's fun! I like it.

    So, the cons. My main gripe with the game is the NPC's and the story elements. I find myself skipping over most dialog as I just don't find it interesting. The characters look like they are made from plastic and will often not even look at you while talking. Doesn't work well. It's not terrible, certainly not. But looking at their mouths moving like they have potatoes in them does make it feel like a mid-2000's game. Quite odd as the game looks stunning otherwise.

    Lastly, the racing. I absolutely hate it! I don't want it, and I was soo happy that I wasn't forced to play more than one race to progress the missions. It's Rage 1 all over again. I was never good at racing games, and in Rage 2 it's just sooooo damn fickle to control. You'll find yourself doing 180's all the time and hitting the wall square on because you accidentally held the spacebar for 10 ms too long. Nonono. Hate it, absolutely. Glad it's over.

    Last con is that I'm somewhat of a completionist. Not to the degree that I need to 100% the game. But when I enter a location and I'm presented with a list of stuff I haven't yet discovered at the location, I keep looking until I have. And that's an issue for me. There's 3 things to locate. Data pads, storage containers and ark chests. Arks chests are easily located with their blue glow and size. Data pads will blink red to let you know where they are. The storage containers, however, are almost invisible at times. And I've spend waaaay too long going over the same location again and again trying to locate those damn containers. They are pink / purple which, as you might have noticed, is sortof the main color of Rage 2. And they don't blink or anything. They just sit there, unnoticably in the dark, teasing you. At least they could have made the focus ability show them... Actually, it boggles my mind why it doesn't upgrade to show these items when you are close by them. It's ok to locate them at the beginning. But 10 hours in, it gets really damn annoying trying to locate them manually.
    UPDATE! Just after writing this review, 10 hours in, I finally got the item radar. So this has become a non-issue.
    So, apart from the racing and the bland story, the game is really, really fun to play. There's plenty of stuff to do, although most of it seems generated. I don't mind as long as each location provides diverse challenges. Road blocks, authority turrets, road racing (this, somehow, is actually ok compared to the racing missions), abandoned buildings. Some do feel a bit too prefabby, but most are really cool and vertical in design.

    I quite like this game. Much better than anticipated after reading reviews, that's for sure.    … Expand

I expected some kind of glory kills on enemies like in Doom, just because I love these kind of things, but the way you dispose of them compensate more than enough. I can't stress out enough that this game is NOT CONCEIVED to deliver an enjoyable story, but to HAVE FUN KILLING THINGS, and it's excellent in that. I don't know where people saw an "empty" open world, for there was always something to do or some particular encounter.

Important upgrades like health increase can be bought in special place but throughout the whole game I could only afford to buy one upgrade which gave me 5% more health.

    Those expecting a new Last of Us out of it's story and characters have been drastically misguided somewhere along the line and not by the devs or Bethesda.

    If you see Bethesda as the publisher of the game that doesn't mean it's a Bethesda developed game - this game has nothing to do with Elder Scrolls, Fallout etc. And expecting it's story qualities to be similar to those is like expecting Mario & Rabbids to match Red Dead Redemption 2.

    Rage 2 has :
    Gunplay that is fast, fluid and extremely satisfying - a lot of cues have been taken from the great DOOM remake. You'll be doing violent superhero esque displays with explosions, shrapnel and gore literally flying everywhere. Its fantastically satisfying.

    Sound - extremely meaty and punchy sounds mixed with an intense, industrial and dynamic soundtrack.

    Story - there is a bad guy, he does bad things, make friends with resistance leaders to get to bad guy and shoot him - This is absolutely no different to all Far Cry games as of late, or Mad Max, or Just Cause. People having an issue with story in a id Software / Avalanche shooter this late in their careers is bizaare.

    Graphics - graphics are subjective to most people's eyes, but running at 1440p on Ultra at 60fps the game looks next level fantastic. It is beautiful, colourful and vibrant with the chaos on screen heightening the graphical prowess of the game. I enjoy stretches of driving just to take in the environment that has been meticously sculpted and tells subtle stories all along the way. Rage 2 has a chunky, solid and industrial style mixed with beautiful lightning and environmental effects. There are currently some bugs and the lip syncing isn't always good but it's still a fantastic looking game (if you can run it on Ultra at high res of course)

    Micro transactions- they're there, for weapon skin cosmetics and that's it. They are never promoted or advertised during gameplay and serve purely as an optional cosmetic choice. No loot boxes, no pay to win. The most inoffensive example of micro transactions i've seen had in a while so nothing to exactly cry over.

    Gameplay highlights that people seem to not bother with are there if you try. Taking on a convoy at full speed is a real Mad Max Fury Road experience that is awesome from start to finish, both challenging, visually stunning and satisfying. Each location has collectables and resource crates that are tracked so any completionists can make sure a location is 100% clear before moving on (only then will the map indicator for an area turn grey too - a challenge for completionists)

    Just about everything can be upgraded and you get plenty of currencies and items to do so along the way, building up your gear and abilities in a fast and easy way while giving you lots of good buffs and perks in the process. There are ALOT of upgrades in this game and they're all obtainable fairly and through progression - I have not come across any grind.

    I also like having to find guns and suit abilities across the 'Ark' sites littered in the world & hidden on your map until you find them, which you will have to fight your way into. This encourages exploring the map for these giant 'treasure chests' to get new guns and abilities all of which are very satisfying to use.

    I'm a big fan of this game and I get the impression people are dumping on it because why not, it's Bethesda, or they were expecting something profound, that was never promised.

    RAGE 2

    First off, fascinating how this game got LOWER numbers when compared to Rage and/or Far Cry: New Dawn. First rage was a lackluster in all aspects and yes, in that era it had disappointed in different tropes than Rage 2 did in today's explicit media saturation.

But the fact is that the original Rage was not even remotely close to being fun as this sequel. FC:ND for example was incredibly shallow, dull and similarly to this.. colorful.

    I get that id was aiming at, working on open world DOOM concept and this was that ideas child. And I welcome it, i really do.. Well I would anyway, if the story was more in-depth, the characters didn't feel as stationary "To do: .." lists and all other cliches front line titles tend to do.
    With that said and done, I don't treat it as an more in-depth game such as Fallout series, Witcher, etc... I treat it as it is, an old school shoot-'em-up which it does exceptionally well, I had fun with mindless carnage and semi-wide pallet of weaponry/abilities games hides in it's arsenal.

    Story itself including the characters (as previously stated) feel sluggish and un-fulfilling, which does bring the score down a bit. But it's not a definite mood set by itself, game play performs so well that it can supplement the lack of story-driven content.

    That would sum it up, additionally.. My score would not be reflective of the actual grade I feel for this IP, it serves as a lackluster scale tipper considering the hype-driven critics review and publisher related "trust" dents it delivered. SOME, and I cannot stress this enough, SOME people rated this game based simply on the fact that it's published by Bethesda and not based on a talented developers that truth be told did go with a safe bet with a preexisting mixture and a bit of novelty.

    All in all, a mechanically REALLY fun game for genre fans but not fulfilling enough for buck-to-content ratio and quality narrative aficionados .    … Expand

If you need perfect combat mechanics, if you want just shoot, blast everything aroung and relax, Rage 2 is worth buyng.

    Rage 2 is a very interesting mix of Dooms incredible combat and Avalanches beautiful, yet shallow open world design.

If you are here for the story, go play the first one, this is the same thing but the stakes are lower and characters more blander. What this game excels at is shooting, the weapons are really fun to use and abilities.. some of them are incredible, but the force push I found to be disappointingly bland. It doesnt help that heavier enemies have minimal reactions to your abilities and a couple of the guns. Oh yeah, the combat is also super unbalanced, and bosses are a joke with the Rocket Launcher. Even then, as my over 100 hours of playtime scream, I cant get enough, it is super fun to master the combat and while again there are many stupid design decision like fall damage (why?), just shooting people is fun. My favorite is the GravDart Launcher a gun that is the pinnacle of creativity and in my opinion would even deserve a spot in the best videogame guns museum.

    The game was heavily criticized for how vehicles control, and while they are worse than the vehicle controls in Rage 1, they are pretty much the best driving controls Avalanche has ever made, at least they are better than controls in the Just Cause games. Even then, there isnt much a reason for the vehicles as you can only sometimes get in a convoy fight or a race. Both of which you will ignore when heading for your objective. It is disappointing there isnt more to it. It just acts as a way to travel to your destination, and if you dont like looking at the openworld, then you will be bored very quick.

    The story missions are boring and dull, short too, the main fun in the game comes from the bandit camps, here your powers, your guns, your wingstick truly shine and get in a harmony of murder. All bandit camps are new, there is recycling of props, but you will never find the exact same camp, but with different enemy level. Even then, the camps hardly are interesting, and super short too. There are exceptions, but usually you are looking at 5-15 minutes in a bandit camp. And then there are also locations that hardly have any shooting, this change they would be welcome, but the shooting camps usually dont leave your bloodlust satisfied. Sometimes its just as boring as a house with a chest in it. About 30 seconds of gameplay and then 2 minutes of wondering what was the point.

    The story is dull, boring, there never are any real stakes. You will like a couple characters, but the game never lets them shine, the most developed character is your shotgun, not even Doom feels this ignorant. The openworld looks beautiful, but you never get the feeling of it slowly opening to you, you just get thrown in it and you go. The entire map gets immediately revealed to you. None of the vehicles offer a new interesting way to explore and thats it. It tries to be like Zelda Breath of the Wild, but Zelda not only was filled with things, Rage 2 never gives you the feel of progression. For as much of upgrades, semi upgrades, health upgrades, progression upgrades and many many other upgrades, you never feel advancing. In fact, as you progress the world feels to be shrinking before your eyes. The photo mode is really fun to pull out and you can capture so much beautiful scenery, but you never feel like its the world you walked in, you feel like its just scenery, with some camps in it. It has some towns, it has some sidequests ("hey, go shoot that thing" sidequests) it even has pretty fun lore. But its bland, boring, uninteresting. You get to a high place, enjoy the view, then realize there isnt anything on the ground. Screenshot will look fantastic, but you never get the connection, its just shooting.

    Just shooting, is the sentence describing this openworld madness. There is something more in it, but in the its just shooting. Very fun shooting, vehicle shooting, magic shooting. Shooting of barrels, shooting of drones. Shooting in TV shows, shooting of balloons. Shooting bandits, cultists, cyborgs, mutants,.. its just shooting. Its very fun though!    … Expand

    The Open World design also harms this game much more than it helps it imo, since exploration is pointless and not satisfying in any way, doesn't even feel like it was designed to be open world.

    If it was a looter shooter you could maybe feel motivated to continue based on the excitement of loot, but there's none of that either in this game, you just get resources for upgrades.

Unfortunately, it lacks the athmosphere of the first Rage and the quest design is a bit dull. Felt like I'm working; go there, clear enemies, collect hidden items, repeat.

    The UI is nicely done, showing how much items to look for at each location, but there is no per-region summary or progress indication. Discovering locations is kind of a hit-or-miss as the detection range on the road is too short. For example, I finished the main quest and didn't know where to get the last 2 weapons and last augmentation; had to look it up online. Driving around is interesting once, but becomes boring pretty soon. There are a couple fast-travel locations but generally, everything is so out of place that one has to travel half the map to mop up a location. The driving is generally okay but the racing is hideous with mouse+keyboard, plus there is a bug that can make you lose the mandatory race mission when the AI gets teleported to the end of the race taking your first place away. One annoyance was the interruption from mission completed screens, telling you how much cache and points you earned. These could have been simple popups so that they don't break the flow of the game.

    This game is pure bubblegum fun and I’m glad I bought it even after seeing mixed reviews. Super cool, Mad max esque open world. Far larger than reviews make it seem. I don’t even care for first person games and I’m hooked. There is an incredible amount of content and stuff to do and has loads of character. People giving it less than a 6 are spoiled trolls and part of this new culture/trendThis game is pure bubblegum fun and I’m glad I bought it even after seeing mixed reviews.

    A fun and solid shooter slapped inside a bland open world, this is basically Rage 2. From boring low quality quest, unimpressive environments to incredibly non-standard tutorials; Rage 2 is a game not deserving of its 60$ price tag.

    Good shooting, everything else is not very memorable. Overall, i got what I expected - fun, mindless slaughter fest to sink a couple of evenings.

    Bom jogo, história não é muito boa, só tá lá por estar, mas o foco não é história e sim gameplay, gameplay rápida e divertida, bem arcade, com várias armas, várias possibilidades de jogar com elas e várias habilidades. O jogo tem uma duração média, 15 horas na campanha (não fiz os secundários mas sei que é bastante).

O jogo tem uma duração média, 15 horas na campanha (não fiz os secundários mas sei que é bastante). Dublagem ÓTIMA, muito boa mesmo, e gráficos melhores ainda, muito realistas e muito bons, com tons de cores fortes, que caem muito bem com os level desing e com o mapa do jogo em si. Os inimigos são um tanto quanto repetitivos, sendo basicamente sempre a mesma coisa, com uma mudancinha de vez em quando, já os bosses, são daora, mas sempre a mesma coisa: atira no núcleo, ele cai, atira no núcleo, ele levanta atira no núcleo, cabeça explode. Mas a gameplay é tão diferente e divertida que você nem presta atenção nesses detalhes. Dou nota 9.… Expand

    Poor controls, repetitive gameplay, crap story.. You got about 6 hours of campaign with another 20 hours of repetitive fluff.. Don't buy unless you can get it for sub 20 bucks.

    Boring, silly, folly.

    The designers of the avalanche studio game are something extremely untalented.
    Just cause x, mad max, Rage 2..
    Developers should be given prison.

    Bad gameplay
    Terrible gunplay
    Overcomplicated ui
    Trash music
    Terrible facial animation
    No story

    Typical avalanche trash game.
    Shame...

    Sorry for my English!

    Rage 2 is a shame. It has potential, but it's never utilized. The story? Ridiculous. Worst story I've ever heard, and I reading Sci Fi since 1990. Graphic? Boring. Not bad or ugly, just boring. Characters? Boring too. Color palette? What is this pink ummm... trash? World? Wasted potential: you can't enter most of the buildings, there are really no    Sorry for my English!

    + I just like it! Good graphics, great gam play, cool story (IMO).
    * There are some glitches and errors, but they are not critical, if you have a brain.

    Game is so epic it crashes at launch. Also, a base ps4 and Xbox can run this game but PC needs a minimum of Ryzen proc? Really Bethesda? Wow. Another "fantastic" PC release for Bethesda.

    The game is as epic AF. Guys @ id must have it in their genes or something.

    We have to admit that the single player in this game has no potential. Not everyone wants to play all day long, exploring the map, like in Fallout – it just gets boring. Rage 2 could become a perfect Battle Royale experience or pretty simple MMO, but as the game, designed for single player walkthrough, it can keep your interest only for a couple of evenings, perhaps forcing you to come back from time to time to explore all corners of this world.

    Rage 2 can be an enjoyable experience… to a certain extent. Unfortunately, you will hit that wall in just a few hours.

    Beautiful and varied world, high-speed vehicle combat, fine-tuned gunfights - on its own, every aspect of this game is great. But Rage 2 as a whole is somehow less than sum of its parts. [Issue#238, p.34]
