    A good FPS, a nice mix between mad max and Doom. Open World is great, but don't buy it for a story. It is not worth of its 60 euros, but for 36 euros on instant gaming it is a really a nice trade. If you like shooters it can be good for you

    I'm also giving it a 10 even though it's more of 7-8. The children voting 0 are ridiculous.

Having played the game now I can safely say that everyone giving it a bad review is actually giving themselves a review. That's right if you give the game a 0 you are effectively giving yourself a 0. Maybe I like it so much because I also liked Rage 1. In a lot of ways it's different but it's the same in a lot of ways at the same time. Any how it;s the only game I want to be playing right now and that means a 10 in my book.… Expand

    The game starts in a MEH way, mostly i don't care about the story or the characters,
    But the gun play and ACTION which it delivers.
    Not a perfect game but for WHAT it tries to be it does well and that's fun as hell gun play and Ludicrous ACTION.

    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:
    - what micro-transactions are doing here?
    - not RDR2 level of details in world building    … Expand

    It is a great step forward for Avalanche, and they did best they could (in comparison with Generation Zero). Thanks to ID software they took part in developing shooting as well.

    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.

    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]
