    It is not fair to review this game as it was an RPG, calling it repetetitive, dull. This game is the normal First Person Shooter just with an open world to massacre everybody on your way both on foot and with vehícles.

Very good technical side, narrative side as said very ignorant, a brain game off. Cute and nice characters, I read complaints about dubbing but, for me, in Italian, it was very valid. Gunplay as mentioned still today in 2022 one of the best on the market. In short, you can not really give it less than 7, I personally rate it 8, but I put 9 to compensate for the havoc of other negative reviews.… Expand

    I get why fans of RAGE were upset about RAGE 2. It doesn't just improve and streamline the gameplay, it makes it a very different game, with a very different play style.

Even the pain of RAGE where dying usually meant losing an annoying amount of progress (RAGE just barely predated constant autosaves) thisI get why fans of RAGE were upset about RAGE 2.

    Rage 2 is a massive surprise, following the disappointing reception in the news. I love open world first person shooters and I don't find many of them that can balance depth and replayability, along with the classic intensity and shooting experience that you always seek when you pick a shooting game.

I love open world first person shooters and I don't find many of them that can balance depth and replayability, along with the classic intensity and shooting experience that you always seek when you pick a shooting game.

    Well, the folks behind Rage 2 have achieved a true gem. You can feel the ID's skills behind the production: it's intense, it's fast, it's fun, it's rewarding.

    The art direction of the cyberpunk setup is wonderful, the map is diverse and cities and characters feel original. It's really nice to drive and stop and investigate what is going on. The shooting is amazing, the sound/music environment is excellent. It's a joy to use and caliber and reload weapons. The graphics are stunningly beautiful.

    On the weakness side, it's not a perfect open world: too much grind, and it's not a perfect shooter: the ammunition management feels old school.

    That being said, to summarize Rage 2: you get Doom's action with Cyberpunk 2077's aesthetic in a Far Cry's kind of open world map. Terrific package.    … Expand

    Rage 2 is often compared to Doom. Totally wrong, because it is a completely different game. Although the focus is also on action-packed fights, these are much more versatile in Rage 2.
    The learnable skills and new weapons are unlocked bit by bit during the course of the game (the tutorials are useful, short and crisp), which allows more and more options in fights.

    The game is open-world, i.e. you can freely decide whether you want to follow the course of the mission or explore the area.
    The performance is very good. You do not need a 2000 Dollar PC. It runs on hight graphics quality even on a mediocre system.

    Very fun and interesting game for a while. The graphics and performance are outright unbelievable. This game looks and plays better than most 2020 games, while also being perfectly optimized.

    The combat is the game's main selling point, as the various abilities you can gather and upgrade make for a sort of open-world DOOM, except with even more explosions and destructible environments.

It is extraordinarily fun to fight any types of enemies using all the different abilities you will get.

    The narrative is interesting and has some original characters and settings. However, apart from a few twists, the plot itself is bland and mostly predictable. Another issue is that you need to actually collect all the data pads and read through the entries if you want to understand the lore; otherwise, the narrative content will seem even more shallow.

    My main gripe with the game is that the content gets repetitive after a while. Trying to 100% this is a real pain, mainly because the progression is relatively fast, leaving you with nothing else to upgrade after a while.

    Nonetheless, spending some 15-20 hours roaming the Wasteland and fighting, exploring, or doing quests is extremely fun. I would highly recommend the game as long as you do not come in expect to find more content and are just willing to come to terms with what this is.    … Expand

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

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

    Extremely underrated/overlooked game, one of the smoothests game I've played. A mix between Mad Max and Borderlands, only better than both. The combat is nice, big open world, story is not amazing but it rarely is in games nowadays. Runs beautifully, a lot to explore, would recommend.

    If you are looking for some semblance of Fallout 4, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or even Far Cry: New Dawn - pass by and don’t over-rank the game and developers. All the sandbox elements of the game are involved around one main and fundamental gameplay mechanics - SHOOTING, PERKOV and COMBO-ACTION, this is what the whole game has to do, and not something else. It is foolish to expect from this game that which it should not be by definition. If you like shooters (DooM, Quake, Bulletstorm, Painkiller, Crysis), as well as open sandbox worlds (Mad Max, Just Case 3, Red Faction Guerrilla, Mercenaries 2) - definitely for a purchase!    … Expand

The amount of love and effort that went into this game is enormous. And it has so many cool things you can do when it comes to shooting and running and gunning. Also the vehicular combat is nicely done. i honestly dont understand the hate. I feel like this game has been review bombed for no good reason and i dont understand the people that do this. If this is your way of punishing a publisher think again, all you'll accomplish is less games being produced and a smaller chance of getting what you want as a gamer. TBH i can understand outrage about things, like EA or Anthem or stuff like that. But Avalache hasnt deserverd any of this. And this is just a really really good game. Everything that is said about the open world being bland and empty is just not true, this has to be the most gorgeous open world ive seen and there is allot to explore. If your idea of exploring is getting lost in sidequest 535 for an hour then yea maybe this game is not for you, but there is definitly allot of exploration to be done none the less. There are meaningfull sidequest or camps to clear for upgrades etc. Unlocking vehicles, guns, gameplay mechanics etc. The story is actually quite good for what it is trying to archieve. I wont go in story plots here but all i want to say is that yes there might be cheesy moments in dialogue but the plot line is not bad or anything. Its just straight forward and serves its purpose. Also if you as a gamer really like deep narrative driven story lines and player choices like fallout 4 then maybe this game isnt for you. That said, this doesnt mean there is no immersion and this game isnt an RPG! You can litterly almost upgrade anything and everything and there are enough small tidbits and sidequests to be found if you are more into the backstory. Also there a different factions that live and roam in this world and they are just nicely done i think. And throughout the game you get to explore how they all tie together. All in all just a very good open world FPS action game. If anyone tell's you otherwise that person either doesnt like FPS games or is just trolling you. If you are slightly into games that evolve around shooting your way out of things then this is a must to have played. Also for the people complaining about short story line, im pretty satisfied after i finished it. Sure i could have played another three big quests but the amount of detail and action you get in the base game is more then plentifull. Also there is a replayability factor bc the way you upgrade your weapons is uniquely chosen by the player. And if you reaally cant get enough of this content bc its too short, why would you review bomb. Thats like the surest way or guaranteeing nothing of this game gets produced anymore. And also there is the DLC, too expensive, well get it on a sell you winey. Anyways thats my two cents. I just was just shocked to see such a low review bombed score vs what i experienced as i played the game.

    TLDR: Great game dont read any review other then IGN or destructiod bc they same to understand. And stay the hell away from the cesspool review bombs found nearly everywhere online and most of all dont read anything kotaku had the say about this game, bc thats just comedy and straight up rediculous.    … Expand

All the sandbox elements of the game are involved around one main and fundamental gameplay mechanics - SHOOTING, PERKOV and COMBO-ACTION, this is what the whole game has to do, and not something else. It is foolish to expect from this game that which it should not be by definition. If you like shooters (DooM, Quake, Bulletstorm, Painkiller, Crysis), as well as open sandbox worlds (Mad Max, Just Case 3, Red Faction Guerrilla, Mercenaries 2) - definitely for a purchase!    … Expand

    Solid game, if you like games like Far Cry 4,Primal, Borderlands most of all, you're going to be satisfied.
    Good action, rpg elements are little boring and uninteresting, and a story is C+.. What this game separate from other fps is graphic! Just like Borderlands, there is something about using so much glossy colours, just without that cartoon wibe and humour Borderlands has.

    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.

    Small tip. If you have a problem with fps dips/stutter on PC go to Nvidia Control Panel and change Texture filtering – from Quality to Performance and Set Power Management to Highest Performance. As for the game itself I really like it but I'm a sucker for a postapo stuff. If you like eyecandy world this Apex engine can generate beautiful scenry. Mad Max, Just Cause 3 has it and this gameSmall tip.

    First the bad:
    -The story is a shallow uninteresting pond and short
    -The driving is clunky Now the Good: -Extremely fun, smooth and well thought out gun play. -The world is visually pleasing -The Idle animations and chatter among NPCs is some of the most amusing stuff I have seen and heard in a very long time. -Lot's of PoIs and stuff to upgrade and unlock. The game play is there

    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). 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

    This is not an RPG, it's not centered on the story. So Doom is a bad game because the story is straightforward? It's not, because it's a shooter and its' strong point is gameplay. The world is vast and presents different environments, many activities to engage, different encounters on the road.

So Doom is a bad game because the story is straightforward? It's not, because it's a shooter and its' strong point is gameplay. The world is vast and presents different environments, many activities to engage, different encounters on the road. Those who judged it negatively either didn't understand the game or didn't like it just because it's not in their taste. The gunplay, which is what it is all about, is funny, driving too, and the destruction of the environment while driving is amazing. The repetitiveness it's not negative in a game like this, but allows you to rip and tear through the map unrelentingly. If you are a fan of Doom and fast-paced shooters, then it's a safe buy. 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.

    By reading again the negative reviews I see people that played a game genre that they don't like. If you pay attention, they all say "good gunplay", which is what this game is about. It's dumb fun, it's perfect to take a break from life and enjoying blowing things up. It's an 8, gonna give 9 or 10 to balance out the haters that reviewed a game without having an idea of what this game actually is. It's as if they played The Sims and complained that the voice acting is bad and there's no story.    … Expand

    If you enjoyed doom you will really like this game. The weak part of the game is definitely the driving. I agree with the reviewers on that. But in terms of a low brain power shoot em up game it is very good and worthwhile. If you just want to relax and not play a complex game after work or school then you should definitely get this game. I do think at 60 dollars that is a steep priceIf you enjoyed doom you will really like this game. The weak part of the game is definitely the driving. I agree with the reviewers on that.

    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]
