    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.

    Иногда нужны такие простые игры.
    Приятный графоний, динамичный геймплей с супер силами, сюжет для галочки и множество точек на карте, для зачистки.
    Оптимальная сложность для первого прохождения: Высокая. P.S: Благодаря неону и супер силам, казалось, что играю в спин-офф Blood Dragon (и это плюс). 7/10    Иногда нужны такие простые игры.

    The combat is great and the world interesting. But somehow after finishing the game I almost immediately forgot about it. There's just something missing and generally speaking I can't recommend this. Weird game.

    It has very good graphics and gameplay.
    The beginning of the game is very good and exciting, but as we progress, the game becomes more repetitive.
    Overall, it's not a bad game, but it's not good either.

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.

    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.

You can't upgrade them, they're cookie cutter cars, but the upgrade parts are constant unlocks.

    - generous loot crates allowing you to really enjoy the hunt and exploration for them
    - nice wasteland dystopian post-apocalyptic world, but just nice enough to be beautiful in its ugliness, yet not intriguing enough to invite exploration and as such kind of dull and interesting as an open world, especially for a 2019 release year, when players have the expectations of a relatively high standard, not to mention from the labels involved stating with Bethesda and the rest
    - decent storyline, not great, not very long, not very complex, but decent enough to be fun and entertaining until you finish it
    - nice blowing up **** and crazy people and mutants animations in that wasteland
    - good sound score and lighting effects during combat missions
    - great options to customize your difficulty to fit your needs and preferences
    - the most fun to me - spoiler here - was chasing and hunting down and blowing up moving cargo convoys, that is a lot of fun... however, after you fully upgrade your ride, you'll end up with tons of "car parts" that no one wants to buy it from you, so it becomes kind of pointless to keep doing those, except maybe just for the fun of it

    Cons:
    - the open world in and of itself has great potential, yet is unused, no real estate conquering and "owning" no sense of ownership and management of some kind of real-estate, no house, no office, no base of operation, nothing to feel that you, the player, the protagonist "owns" and manages some form of real estate to add to a sense of accomplishment
    - incredible, almost unimaginable for a 2019 release, for those great names as labels, no avatar, no third-person view, and animations of your own character, no customization whatsoever, except at the start when choosing the sex, male or female, nothing else to enhance your playing experience - developed mostly in Europe, I can tell it's the lack of funds allocated to create new sets of animations for your own character as the protagonist - unacceptable in my humble opinion for a 2019 release, we're not in the early '90s playing Wolfstein, we're in 2019-2020-2012 already, the concept of the avatar was already invented

    bottom line:
    - if you'll find it on sale (like I did), and you're looking for an FPS, yes, it may worth your money and time
    - at full asking price, and if you're looking for a good open-world game, unless you have money to throw away, I would wait until eventually will go on sale

    Для драйвового экшена придется тоже гриндить, ведь дабы собрать все оружие и способности, придется покататься по открытому миру, поискать их, а потом еще и прокачать.

    Но при всем этом разнообразие противников как в DOOM или же хорошо сбалансированных арен в игре нет. Более того, учитывая то, что все кроме пистолета, автомата и дробовика в игре опционально, можно представить насколько баланс заданий и арен не сбалансирован под полный потенциал. Более того, некоторые активности в игре как, например, башни правительства и воовсе не заточены под способности или же любое оружие, кроме дальнего боя и представляет собой одну из самых унылых вещей, которые можно только вообразить в "ураганном экшене". Также после зачистки каждой активности на карте, игра предлагает потом бродить по ней и искать не в самых очевидных местах лут для прокачки.

    В общем, неведомо зачем, игра почти везде старается вставить палки в колеса игрока, чтобы сделать его времяприпровождение более унылым, чем оно могло быть. Как мне кажется, RAGE 2 страдает распространенным недугом, а именно желанием сделать открытый мир, но при этом непониманием как это сделать хорошо, и главное зачем. Ведь как механика сюжетных заданий, так и оружия со способностями буквально заставляют тебя кататься по пустому миру с однотипными аванпостами в оргомном количестве, растягивая геймплейный цикл настолько, насколько это вообще возможно.    … Expand

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 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

    RAGE 2 suffers badly from repetitious gameplay. So we got the typical open world which is filled with colorful icons to check off with the occasional random spawing in enemies. You're expected to traverse the open world with a vehicle and the on-foot combat plays like DOOM (2016).

    The gunplay (done by ID, the creators of DOOM) is really good, while the driving is bad. Not CYBERPUNK 2077 bad, but bad nonetheless: you seriously under steer in curves, but the traction is better here.
    Story-wise don't expect Tolstoy: your base is attacked by the Authority, your commander killed and you wish to avenge her by uniting three clans to build up an army. This requires you to gain trust (I guess) of each clan, by completing quests (the colored markers scattered all over the map). Each clan (faction) has a color so you can identify which of the quests on the map help which faction.
    The problem is, like I mentioned at the beginning: repetition. Enemy bases (such as forts, gas stations) which have your run-of-the-mill human raiders or Authority Sentries. I ran into so many of them, each encounter with those sentries is exactly the same tedious: bullet-sponge shooting and dodging their charge attack. Then there's arcs that unlock weird super-human powers which are over-the-top. When you're not clearing areas of enemies you're doing fetch quests.
    Think of this as MAD MAX with an emphasis on shooting and the color pink (not joking, there is so much pink in this game, it's horrible) mixed with a bit of BORDERLANDS and a dash of FALLOUT's weirdness. I recommend skipping this one though and picking up MAD MAX instead, it has a better story, better driving, a better world and better NPCs. Even RAGE 1 is better and much cheaper.    … Expand

    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 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

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.

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

    Generally this game is not so bad, but there is some very annoying things:
    1) Each new local activity begins with a couple of phrases like "Hey sister, I see something strange here" and these phrases are only ONE for each type of event. For the fifth time, it starts to enrage, and there are lot of different events here.
    2) A very simple story that can be completed in a few hours of playing. From the very start, the game tells you to find 3 people who have only 2 missions each, after which you go to complete the final one. That’s the end of the story... I will not say that the plot is bad, but with given length of it, it turns into a short mockery on the players.
    3) Fu*ng bugs and Fu*ng optimisation. Every fifth-sixth entry the Map menu - crash of the game. Having far from the weakest computer, even at medium settings the game often gave friezes. Sometimes it passed, more often - no.    … 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

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

I uninstalled after trying for 20 minutes. This should have never made it in the game, and the only reason it did is to pad out time on an already bland and short campaign.… Expand

    It's got shortcomings, in particular, the opening scenes are hilariously bad. The overall story is predictable. The initial combat and intro scenes are so poorly done you would be well within your rights to stop playing right there. However...

    If you can withstand the initial poor presentation (the scene in the first ARC where you 'interact' with the hologram is .... not impressive) the game actually opens out into a pretty entertaining shoot'em up romp through a game that is a cross betwen something like Far Cry and Borderlands, without the bazillion guns or story.

    The nanite powers you accumulate as you go through the game are entertaining but not game defining. I often forgot to use them and had no real problems on normal difficulty settings. The 'force splat' nanite power is good for up close and personal combat, and the enhanced jump is good because... all these types of games have it?

    The vehicle choices are mediocre. I tended to stick with either the flying gyrocopter, it was physically weak, but it gave fast travel to anywhere on the map, or the starting ATV, as it had regeneration and onboard weaponry. Other than that, I used the other vehicles when the game seemed to want me to (like the tank bit).

    The combat is somewhat Borderlands, somewhat Doom 2016 (unsuprisingly), somewhat Far Cry. No sniper rifle though, although the assault rifle did an OK job at that sort of thing.

    I found the driving/flying to be pretty good. The map is pretty large and requires quite a lot of traversal, but In all honesty, it's no more tedious than Borderlands, Far Cry, Assassins Creed, etc, etc, etc... You can always fast travel between opened trading posts, and your vehicles are only a button click away.

    Overall, it's a shame they didn't spend a little bit more time polishing this game. It could have been great with a cohesive story and decent extra side misisons, but as it is, it's just good.    … Expand

    A gameplay, ponto chave do jogo, não é atraente a principio. Os controles no teclado são deveras confusos. Eu só fui me habituar de verdade lá para o final do jogo, e ai eu digo: O personagem com todas as habilidades e armas é fascinante. Basta tirar um tempo pra procurar as arcas e pronto - infelizmente não acho que elas foram bem implementadas, visto que a maioria não está ligada diretamente a campanha. Além do mais, os poderes e armas ganhos não são tão uteis. Acredito que se tivessem adicionado as arcas de acordo com que a historia prosseguisse e novos inimigos surgissem, elas seriam bem mais orgânicas a gameplay. E mais dois adendos: A sensibilidade do jogo me pareceu muito "presa", dificultando que eu acetasse tiros e a dirigibilidade é horrível, o que é um ponto super negativo visto que o jogo não tem Fast Travel e boa parte do jogo é dirigindo de um ponto ao outro.

    A historia, mesmo não sendo o foco, deixa muito a desejar. Personagens são chatos e não participam de maneira "devida"; o vilão sem graça e genérico; diálogos fúteis e irreais; etc. Eles se inspiraram em vários Jogos/Filmes, como: DOOM, Mad Max, Borderlands, e mesmo assim isso ficou a desejar. Faltou muita inspiração.

    Os gráficos são legais, principalmente com o FOV alto, que esconde muito as texturas lavadas. Rodou bem no Ryzen 5 1600 + Rtx 2060.

    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.

    I really wanted to like this game. I want to give it a 7. But I can't. I actually really enjoyed Rage 1, quite a bit. This game feels very different for reasons I can't explain.

    1. The game crashes frequently, ESPECIALLY when you delete saved games which ironically happens when I'm trying to free up a slot to save my progress before the game crashes. This wasn't a one time thing. It's    I really wanted to like this game. I want to give it a 7. But I can't. I actually really enjoyed Rage 1, quite a bit. This game feels very different for reasons I can't explain.

    1. The game crashes frequently, ESPECIALLY when you delete saved games which ironically happens when I'm trying to free up a slot to save my progress before the game crashes. This wasn't a one time thing. It's about 50% of the time.

    2. Speaking of saving, there are only 12 saved slots and you often reappear in odd locations without your car. Really in 2019? 1990s checkpoints calling PCMR. Bethesda, you are both my most hated and loved company (like MS). And of course it crashes when you do that, so you lose progress potentially.

    3. The game also never seems to count the arks, chests or notepads correctly. I pick it up but still somehow it doesn't count, which is an OCD nightmare.

    4. As for other bugs, I constantly have to reconfigure my two guns of choice (you can switch back and forth which is nice) b/c it inexplicably resets for no reason, especially when loading / continuing.

    5. The challenge is WAY off. I After many hours of trial and error, I have to agree with another poster. Nightmare is probably the best setting. You def can take a few hits but you can't slug it out with anyone. In other words you don't have to be perfect, but you are not bulletproof at all. Think Batman Arkham Asylum.

    5a. The other thing about Nightmare and the other poster said this, FINALLY, you have reason to collect things b/c you might run through quite a few grenades and health infusions and w/o upgrades to crafting, you might be surprised how quickly you deplete your surplus. Previously, I was always maxed out and never had to use anything.

    6. Oh, this may sound weird, but just TOO MANY abilities and things. I like variety and it's good everyone can use what they enjoy, but Rage 1 seemed simpler and streamlined and I enjoyed immensely - challenging and fun. There's just too much for me to keep track of and use, YMMV.

    On the plus side, the graphics are VERY nice and the scenery is nothing short of amazing. The drivign is fun, and gameplay is good but uneven, and the crashes and other weird glitches just make it hard to reward that sloppy design. Also, some areas such as mutant nests are actually cut and paste. I dk why they did that since bandit locations always seem very different even if they share similarities.

    There's a really good game under here, but you have to dig to find it.    … Expand

    Hey, Bethesda, what's wrong with you? You did great games, Morrowind, Fallout, etc. And now you doing THIS? No, game is not bad (and also not good), but very short and very boring after a few hours. And it's very expensive for this little story.

    May just be one of the worst game of all time.
    The world is boring as hell.
    The game is not optimized at all, it runs like ****
    The story is dull and just bad.
    The game feels super buggy and the controls are just terrible.
    I believe Avalanche Studies might be one of the most non-skilled video game devs on the market.

    Good game until you try to access player menu, then it freezes or crashes to desktop. Also it has very little to do in such a big open world, seems unfinished and should not have been released yet.

    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. Essa pequena resenha é para os BR's os gringos que vão toma no cu.

    Игра просто средненькая и с пометкой "на любителя", я пытался написать этот обзор большим и с конкретикой но за что бы я не брался получалась каша из терминов и объяснений, практически всё что вы увидите по геймплую даже не столько прямо очень плохо, сколько очень спорно.
    Вообщем это обычный проходняк, если хотите какой-нибудь современный динамичный FPS то лучше поиграйте в DOOM 2016    Игра просто средненькая и с пометкой "на любителя", я пытался написать этот обзор большим и с конкретикой но за что бы я не брался получалась каша из терминов и объяснений, практически всё что вы увидите по геймплую даже не столько прямо очень плохо, сколько очень спорно.

    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.

    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

    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]
