    El combate tanto a pie como en coche es muy bueno y dinámico, pero es lo único bueno que tiene.
    Todo lo demás es malísimo, espera mas ya que el primero fue muy bueno y aun así es mejor que su secuela.

    В этой игре всё не так. Преобладающий цвет - розовый. Повестка на месте. Стрельба не ощущается. Персонажи никакие. Сюжет никакой. Геймплей скучный. На экране постоянно показываются подсказки по типу "нажмите w, чтобы идти вперёд". Такого говнища я давно не встречал.В этой игре всё не так. Преобладающий цвет - розовый. Повестка на месте.

    Devs should fix their game instead of joining political flashmob. Closing purchases of your products for people of Belarus and Russia is antidemocratic and should be punished.

Not to mention the bugs around, I ended up having to delete the game since I dont have an autosave to go back to before the bug was noticed by me - you tend to side track to other quests without focusing on progressing main missions right away since it is an open world game. It was one of the main missions "the Signal" where the audio would be indicated as needed to be played no matter how many times you played the damn thing. and every time you log into the game the audio log starts to play automatically - how ironic.
    This seemed to be a issue for many people and yet after 2 years it still is not fixed and the developer focused on happily release more paid DLCs in the meantime

    Performance is bad, running the game above 60fps and 1080p gives problem. That out of the table, game itself is boring, it feels like a cheap Far Cry with some Doom stuff in it. After 2 hours there's nothing in the game that makes me want to come back.

    Good, has nice missions but the requirement to have level 5 on all of 3 supporting characters kinda is a stupid way to make game longer, since game has 8 main missions. Wasn't able to complete it since it bugged at the end (Project Dagger mission doesn't show up)

    If Rage 2 was a linear shooter it be fine. But if we talking about open world, exploring game, for if so Rage 2 boring, pointless and doesn't worth time spending.    … Expand

    The only thing you will "RAGE" about is one of the most stupid game design decisions ever made. There is NO intra-progress save. It's all huge checkpoint based. I can sort of understand this for a console game in the past where there there was not enough storage, but then that would be an excuse for anything like the Xbox since it's so much like a PC (with a HD to store saves on).

    The game is a contradiction. It pushes this fast paced gameplay with the music, fast moving and shoot enemies, and that you want to move in fast with quick moves to pick up the nanites. But then one mistake it's over, you die then you have to do the objective that you are on all over again.
    The checkpoints are literally the whole base! So you can't play it fast like they want you to because then you will just have to do the same 5 to 30 minutes you played, over and over again.

    I don't know who is left from the original crew at Id. This is totally lame. This is checkpoint game mechanic that might have been okay 20 years ago, but inexcusable now. It's just a very lazy decision, maybe a decision made because the game engine was broken or something.

    So much opportunity, so little development.
    You get one vehicle you can upgrade and a whole slew of other vehicles you can unlock simply by driving them back to a town. You can't upgrade them, they're cookie cutter cars, but the upgrade parts are constant unlocks. There is really no endgame mode for this open world game,, it's fun until mid game than then it's just a boring mess.    So much opportunity, so little development.

    Can Rage 2 bring you a proper amount of hours of intense fun ?

    Well... Not quite much. From my opinion, they are many downsides to the game, but my overall experience fits into one word: tasteless. Feels like "one more FPS where you shooty-shooty in an open world, accompanied by a story trying to justify shooty-shooty in even more exotic places".

    Well... Not quite much. From my opinion, they are many downsides to the game, but my overall experience fits into one word: tasteless. Feels like "one more FPS where you shooty-shooty in an open world, accompanied by a story trying to justify shooty-shooty in even more exotic places". It had good promises, but falls short of expectations.

    The story didn't catch much my attention, to start with.
    The graphics aren't that great. It's mostly a desert, and you'll have to go through places you already know to get to the action, but now they are boring to experience as much as they are boring-looking.

    Most importantly, and what really raised my hopes for playing this game: what was supposed to be the variety of gameplay. Many weapons, supposedly great spells and MOBILITY. To me, you can't miss a game if you give some verticality in level design, and funny ways to move both horizontally and vertically. Rage 2 kind of made me lie: there are both, but it feels like the engine is still feels rough to handle and that you would be more useful hiding and shooting, leaving movement spells alone and useless. The variety of weapons is great, but it's only a product line to choose from, as you need to invest points and really commit to a weapon for it to become effective. Kinda sad when you want to try variety and realize that all other weapons are worthless 'cause you committed to one and only.

    Doesn't mean Rage 3 couldn't be a great game. Really, what makes Rage 2 bad is that the gameplay offering sounds great but the game barely scratched the surface of what these concepts are: a variety of weapons that is meaningful, that you are interested in and that is put to good use through good game design, spells that are situational but that you can commit towards if you wish, and meaningful mobility.

    I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, really. If you're a fan of shooters, spend more time on Doom, if it's RPG you like, go for the Fallout series. Avoid Rage 2, it won't bring you much fun.    … Expand

    The good: I had a good time with some of the fighting and the vehicle combat.
    The bad: Good lord where to start.
    1)Weapons. I've never seen a first person shooter that so actively punishes you for using an assault rifle.

    The bad: Good lord where to start.
    1)Weapons. I've never seen a first person shooter that so actively punishes you for using an assault rifle. The damn thing is somehow unwieldly, underpowered, unlikely to kill anyone without putting a full magazine in them, and god help you if you try using it at skirmish range. Every time I equip this thing killing anyone is a chore, even after upgrading the rifle AND myself. It's useful for one thing: Targets that are stationary or too large to miss. Against men, it's useless.
    The rocket launcher even feels weak. Its fine against men, but not even so hot against big sentry towers.
    Grenades feel useless. I've chucked many into large groups of enemies inside enclosed rooms and failed to kill anyone. Wingsticks are useless without lock-on, and basically kill one guy WITH lock-on unless micromanaged. Which is time I could better use shotgunning people in the face.
    Speaking of shotguns, they're apparently useless against scrap metal armor. Shotgun a man in the face at point blank and his helmet/cuirass just flies off. Still, the shotgun is by FAR the most effective weapon and synergizes with the very melee heavy nano abilities. Shotgun manages to be fun due to this.
    2) Keyboard controls are wackily unwieldly. Having to hold control to activate nanotrite powers forces me to take a finger off my movement keys, which limits my movement.
    3) Dialogue. My GOD dialogue. Nearly every NPC talks four times longer than they have any business doing. The writers clearly thought they were comedy geniuses despite having their comedy glands surgically removed, so they attempt to have Borderlands-like LOLWACKY characters that are just annoying, grating, and dumb as hell. I spent an awful lot of time just moaning "oh my GOD shut up already!!"
    4) Bugs. I fell through the floor of a bossfight, and spent a while trying to get back in bounds before falling to my death. More than one "kill everyone" objective failed to trigger after killing everyone at a site. An internet search reveals I'm far from alone in these problems. The level geometry failures are amateur hour crap.
    5) Super schizophrenic difficulty. Waltz through one hostile site without trying, travel 200m to another site and encounter something that seemingly expects a fully upgraded and fully armed player. Or an infinite pile of enemies that will eat all your ammo and keep coming. The difficulty ratings of sites don't seem to have much to do with this.
    6) The music is mostly someone slamming pots and pans together while alternately screaming and hissing. It drowns out every firefight so badly that I turned it off entirely.
    7) They decided to go Open World (TM) so there are few proper set pieces or unique activities. Just loads of road between you and Generic Bandit Site A and Generic Mutant Site B. And unlike other Avalanche engine title Just Cause 3, vehicle is the only travel tech to use.

    Basically I had some fun. Mostly in spite of the game. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like putting up with lots of crap between your bouts of fun. Go with something that isn't craptacular generic open-world.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I literally finished the game in 5 hours, yes 5 hours for 60 bucks, 5 hours of fetch quest, of boring and empty open world and unimaginative and bad story, the dubbing isn't always great, the cars are awful to drive with a keyboard, you definitely need a controller for that.
    The gameplay is good, some classic fast fps gameplay that you probably have already played in rage 1, Wolfenstein, doom. But nothing new, interesting.

    Nothing really linked the two games except a 5 min cinematic in the beginning of the game, two or three Easter eggs which are really cool and that's it.
    The bad guy is cool but you will only see him three times, yeah, I'm not even joking, his voice is the only one that is worth noticing.
    All the upgrades feel useless, the open world looks awful and it's one of the ugliest games I have ever seen in my life, there is no consistence to this game, sometimes it looks really good (most of the time it's inside the city etc.) and sometimes it looks awful.

    This game has nothing for him, it's boring, ugly, uninteresting and expensive.

    This is the last time I will ever be hyped for a Bethesda game, I waited so long for this one, loved the first one so much, but that’s what I got, 5h of bad experiences for 60$

    They couldn’t even protect the game correctly, they forgot to implement denuvo for the game which is crazy to me, that just shows how careless they were.

    Go buy Mad Max, Rage 1 or any other game at that point, everything else will be a better experience than this game.    … Expand

    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.

    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]
