    RAGE 2 крайне странная игра. Она имеет почти отличную основу для веселого и драйвового экшена, но про этом всеми силами пытается сделать времяприровождение в игре максимально скучным.

    Структура сюжетной кампании имеет 8 неплохих миссий, между которыми придется достаточно так погриндить, дабы заработать репутацию у сюжетных персонажей.

    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

And it's work just normal. From "Mad Max" - driving, mad enemies, big empty locations, ruins. And it's work normal but boring after first hours of game-play.
    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

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No es tan mal juego...pero me ha decepcionado.
    El gunplay es sin duda su punto fuerte , resulta divertido y adictivo.
    El resto es muy mediocre.
    - Tus compañeros iniciales los ves al principio y al final del juego. (Narrativamente no entiendo no tener más interacción con ellos)
    - La interacción con NPC's y las secundarias son muy malas.
    - El juego te obliga a hacer secundarias para avanzar en la principal.
    - Quitando al "malo" el resto de "Bosses" son el mismo.

    Sorprende caer en esta "dejadez" a la hora de hacer mundos abiertos a estas alturas...hubiera ganada muchos enteros si hubiera sido más lineal y con una historia más trabajada.

    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.

    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).

So we got the typical open world which is filled with colorful icons to check off with the occasional random spawing in enemies.

    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 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

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

    Worth spending a few hours killing things, might not be worth paying full price. Consider grabbing it on GamePass if you have it though.    … Expand

    Pros:
    - great FPS - first-person shooter - if this is the only thing you're looking for, then this is one of the best FPS out there
    - simple enough weapons and ammo use and upgrades, yet efficient and powerful to give you tons of fun using them - extremely simple, maybe too simple vehicles inventory and upgrades options, it's really just a car, anything else is almost useless -    Pros:

    - extremely simple, maybe too simple vehicles inventory and upgrades options, it's really just a car, anything else is almost useless
    - 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
    - is it fun..??.. yes
    - is it worth a 10 score here..??.. no    … Expand

    Game just boring and short. Very short. There are only 5 quests and you can beat it under 6 hours, and there is nothing left to do. Every sidequests location is copy of previous one.
    Yes, gunplay is nice, and pretty various, but honestly i used only two guns and never used special abilities on hard difficulty. Ofc you can use abolities but it's kind of pointless.

    Besides of main quest it just a driving to point on map, shot, loot, repeat. But why someone wants to spend time on this boring routine? Game give no prize for exploring and looting, yes you get crafting materials, ability points etc, but you don't need non of these things to beat the game.

    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

    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)

    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.

    buy it when its on discount and when you have nothing to play. but probably worths only under $10. I bought for around 18 AUD and regretted my purchase.

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
    so make sure you do save multiple files or you could regret like me    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    I do not understand how you can give less than 7 to this game, you may like it may not like it, but less than 7 you can not give. The Gunplay is one of the best I've ever played, even today in 2022, I don't understand why Bethesda FPS side don't always leave Gunplay in the hands of ID Software. Open World side is nothing incredible, but it is still very free and beautiful to play, justI do not understand how you can give less than 7 to this game, you may like it may not like it, but less than 7 you can not give.

Open World side is nothing incredible, but it is still very free and beautiful to play, just with the brain off, an OPW that does not give you a headache, on the contrary. 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

    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.

    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.

    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]
