Mata Hari Manners trophy is too annoying and pointless probably used only to annoy player even more!… Expand

    Having been especially looking forward to this game, I don't think I have ever been more disappointed in a game.

And why ? As it turns out, this game has not been optimised for the base ps4 so there is a horrible input lag that causes a weird acceleration and buggy dead zone, making precise aiming nealy impossible, which is just unacceptable for a fast shooter like this. It made me turn on the aim assist , that's how bad it was. That is the reason alone i gave this game a 4, otherwise i would have given it a solid 7.

    Story and Voice acting is really low standards for a single player game. The combat in the game is close to another generic shooter game and it feels really boring or lacking in many ways.

    The second key flaw for a game that claims to be wall to wall action is incessant Stalker and Metro style shortages of ammo. This quickly grows tiresome and robs the game of pace and enjoyment.

    Lastly the feel of this game is not helped by rather bland graphics. Everything is washed out with ugly colour palettes and uninteresting environments. Indeed graphically this game feels backwards, like something you would have expected back in the early 2000's.

    Rage 2 it’s a fun game in the combat but it isn’t Rage 1. The story is very generic followed by 70+ years after Rage 1. Rage 2 is a colourful neon mess if your on LSD as it makes the textures way to blurry and visual bugs. And yes micro transactions are skins sadly .

Driving is **** horrible but you have two driving main missions for some **** retard reason. Driving a motorcycle feels as good as grinding naked on a cactus. Whole driving seems tacked on and unnecesary. Story is bland and cringy. I didn't expect much story from this but even then I was disappointed by it. It basically just took up time for no reason. Completing anything pauses the game for 5-8 seconds to show you that you received 3.50 dollars that you cant spend on anything and got 35 reputation for a guy that doesnt mean anything. Totally kills your momentum, slows the game down unnecesarily.

    Tldr: The gunplay has some shining moments but the overall quality is very low and unpassionate. Stick with doom for a better shooter or with borderlands for a better madmax style open world.    … Expand

This should avoid activating the bug. This bug has been known for over a year and the developers have not fixed it. I think it is fair to give a game that is impossible to complete, a 0, as it is essentially an unfinished product. If this bug gets patched, I will update my review and easily give it a 7 or 8.

    PROS:
    -Gunplay is fantastic and smooth.
    -Stringing together abilities is a blast.
    -Vehicle combat is fun and car animations and sounds are great.
    -Multiple skill trees that are fun to dive into and upgrade.

    -Extremely laggy menu.

To be direct, I've never feltTo the commenter who writes "It's like every other ID software game," I respond, "absolutely not." Rage 2 does not live up to current expectations of id software games. Whereas Wolfenstein and Doom combine good shooting with high production values, great music, great graphics, and coherent art direction to make fun and immersive experiences, Rage 2 does not. To be direct, I've never felt more terrible about spending $60 on a game in my life. My five hours with the game gave me a sinking feeling in my stomach. I felt cheated. This was a rush job that needed more attention to the elements of game design that we expect from a single-player game selling for $60 in 2019.

    My chief complaints:

    1. The production values are terrible, and the game simply fails to maintain immersion. Graphics and voice acting are last generation, if that. The game is obviously unfinished and any exploration of the world yields the same character model over and over again. Their voices don't sync. It takes every character forever to say anything, which completely ruins any momentum or excitement you might feel about playing the game. The end result is a world that doesn't seem to fit together. Areas are arbitrarily placed here and there, but they don't seem to coalesce into a feeling of a world. This is terrible for a modern open-world game. I just felt like the discrete combat scenarios, while exciting from time to time, did not fit together. The result was a feeling of being a game-tester, trying to have fun on the developer's unfinished product.
    2. The menu doesn't work (terrible lag when browsing through and interacting with it) and it does not explain itself. The developers just tacked more and more pages onto it and never revisited it to make it navigable. It's also ugly with no design or reason to it except that there be a lot of pages that take forever to get to.
    3. In-game "tutorials" are obvious transplants from the testing phase, which add to the feeling that I paid full price to playtest and give my impression of an amateur's attempt at game design. This was simply not the intended end result and it shows.
    4. Music lacks a coherent style and does not add atmosphere to the game's areas.
    5. Driving adds little apart from having to drive somewhere.

    My takeaway: The lack of polish simply made me feel sad. Especially after playing Doom right before picking this up. It's such a shame because this could have been a great game with another year or so of work. The 4 score is credit to the engaging and fun shooting. More care for the other elements of the experience would deserve at least a 7. I thought the downsides wouldn't bother me because I love id shooters, but the quality of life issues and the lack of an inviting presentation really got in the way of my experience. The drab characters and meaningless world sapped the fun I expected to have and made me return to Wolfenstein and Doom which offer more comprehensive experiences. I thought I could fill in the blanks for rage 2 and use my imagination to build on the combat and make the game fun on my own, but this game is just not a complete package. Traded it in for $32 gamestop credit and won't look back. I'm relieved I didn't lose more money on this.    … Expand

    -Every enemy in the game is basically the same enemy, approached in the same way. There is never any reason to think about what you're doing, or change your playstyle.

    -The game is pitifully easy. It's basically impossible to die unless you decide to stand completely still and not attack the enemies.

    -The map is mostly empty space, and what little content exists is just carbon copies of the same handful of encounters.

    -There is a ton of terribly written dialogue that gets thrown at you. The story goes beyond boring and straight into terrible. Thankfully there is a skip option for everything.

    -The driving is unbelievably clunky, and you need to do a lot of it traversing the empty map.

    -The game is constantly inundating you with terribly voice acted dialogue.

    Don't fool yourself - it's not another id Software's masterpiece!
    I wish RAGE 2 was an improved Rage 1 with Doom 2016 shooting, headbanging soundtrack and extraordinary characters. Now I have this bastard baby, that Mad Max and Blood Dragon made. There's list of all you should know before buying RAGE 2:

    Story - Like a straight line with no twists - you see the ending just from the beginning. It took about 10 hours to complete the main story, unlocking all guns and perks, visiting all arks and devastating enormous mutants.

    Shooting - You remember this feeling of synergy of protagonist and guns in Doom 2016? Forget it. Weapons in Rage 2 just make no sense - upgraded Assault Rifle is ultimate killing machine. Another guns are toys and you won't use them due to low-efficiency (also, BFG not included in standard edition, haha).

    Driving - In Mad Max you could feel the difference between cars and environment. RAGE 2 has a cardbox cars in a cardboard world. All feels the same.

    World and Activities - just look at another typical open world games. Uninteresting events in a flat empty world. There're not even interesting places to visit!

    Soundtrack - IT HAS NO MUSIC! IT IS ALL THAT AMBIENT-LIKE NOISES MY FRIDGE MAKING! (seriously, RAGE 2 have something like main theme, that you can hear in main menu, but...)

    Performance - 30 FPS lock, tons of bugs, in game menu freezing like it's 2007 and you try to run Crysis on your old PC. Don't know what else to say.

    To sum up - you MAY have a bit of joy playing this, but only if you know how to entertain yourself. In other case - highly unrecommended. Even on sale. Yep, 4 point score - what it deserves.    … Expand

    Story wise, there is absolutely no story that is interesting. The introduction of the game is just wierd and you have no clue who you are or why the hell you are doing what your're doing. The overall acting of the characters is extremely bad, including the voice-overs. The graphics are so bad on pc, you don't believe the first time you start playing. I literally, went back to the settings menu, thinking I forgot to save my video-settings, but I was all activated.

    Driving your car is horribly, even after upgrading the care a bit. The missions are boring as hell, and i mean the main missions. It all comes down to go their and kill everything in a world that is empty as hell! This is just DOOM in a sandbox with additional skills like a double jump and more of that stuff. I'm glad I've not yet finished days gone, because I refunded this game.

The combat system is quite enjoyable if a repetitive after a while. The variety of weapons available, whilst not huge, is fun. Each weapon has its own unique quirks and tactics that can make them fun to play about with. The RPG elements are quite extensive, not only can you level up weapons and other consumables, but you can customise them to better suit your particular play style. Your character is also customisable with different brances of customisation unlocked as you interact with each of the three main NPCs. FInally, the main vehicle is also upgradable to equip new weapons and improve its durability. The downside to these, is that you dont need to make a decision. There are easily enough items available through the game to upgraed all your traits, weapons and consumables This essentially robs the player of replayability that could come from picking a speciality and focusing on it for one playthrough before replaying as a different speciality.

    Unfortunately that is about the limit of what I can say in a positive light about this game. The story line is incredibly short and could easily be completed in a few hours if the numerous enemy bases and collectables were ignored. The dialogue is fun and at times witty, but the main host of characters are instantly forgettable and the quest arcs so short it is difficult to feel any attachment or involvement in the games world.

    Whilst the combat is fun, it suffers from a lack of variety. Most enemies can be killed by simply pounding them full of lead, removing the need to play around with your variety of weapons (I killed 95% of enemies using the assault rifle).

    The overworld is mostly full of markers to investigate, but all basically amount to the same thing - an enemy base that must be infiltrated and cleared out -with a few extra tasks to complete along the way depending on the base type. This is a huge misstep. It is clear from some of the bases that someone at avalanche does have some idea of how to develop a compelling game with fun side quests. Some of the better side quests have there own little stories and great level design. However, most suffer from the same old reused models, rearranged slightly to give the impression of a new section of the game, but it is very apparent that its simply a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V situation for the vast majority of the map.

    This brings me to the vehicle combat. there are a number of vehicles to be collected in addition to your main vehicle which can be upgraded. However, the need to do so is minimal and all too easy. The only real combat comes from chasing down and destroying mad max-esque convoys led by large trucks, to curry favour with some of the NPCs. However, this quickly gets old and there is litttle else in the way of vehicle combat to speak of. The vehicles you work to collect and upgrade serve no other purpose than to get you from location A to location B in a world that feels oh-so-empty.

    The final and perhaps most dissapointing thing was the large swathes of unused map. There is an entire racing circuit in one of the areas with no associated missions or side quests. Ther are other large sections of map that you can easily complete the game without visiting. They contain nothing, no side quests, no missions, no collectables. This screams of an incomplete game. A world map that can hold so much and was fleshed out with copy-paste bases instead of story and characters.

    Overall Rage has the feeling of a game that needed another 6-12 months in the incubator coupled with a decent amount of feedback from playtesters. There is so much potential in this game that could have been unlocked with a little bit of TLC but it fails to realise almost any of it. It is also notable that in the 6 months since release, there have been few patches to fill in any of the empty map spaces or correct some of the numerous glitches and laggy menus that plague the game.    … Expand

    Exploration is the least satisfying of any open world game I've ever played in my life. There are a few weapons and powers you have to find scattered across the wasteland, but that's it. It's a big open waste of time and space.

    Since the writing and characters are atrocious, and every bandit-infested gas station or roadside attraction is exactly the same, there is exactly zero motivation to do anything but follow the arrows to your next objective. At least the original RAGE had character, and a fun CCG built in.

    I feel like I could write a book about all the terrible design decisions made for this game, but since I'm limited here I'll just cover the basics.

    To sum it up, this is one of the worst "open world" games I've ever played.

    To sum it up, this is one of the worst "open world" games I've ever played.

    It's main ability/mechanic is "Overdrive", basically the more enemies you kill in a short time frame, the more Felrite (Xp) you get per kill. This also allows you to buff your weapons for a short duration, basically just increasing their damage output. Problem is... the majority of the time you won't be fighting very many enemies. Most random open world events just have 1-8 enemies, meaning you won't even be able to hit the max multiplier of 10x. Every point of interest on the map usually only has you fight at max like 16 enemies at once, so even doing those doesn't allow you to use it much. Perhaps you could just increase the difficulty to increase how many enemies spawn? Nope. They went the lazy route with designing difficulty and just make your weapons weaker and the enemy weapons stronger. Playing this game on anything but Nightmare or harder makes it a joke, but this leads the problem with how you heal. You heal through the Overdrive mechanic, but if you're playing safe (avoiding incoming damage) you won't be able to max out your Overdrive and thus get more Hp and Xp per kill. The only other way to heal is to buy/craft healing injections. Both of which slow down the gameplay considerably. Seeing a problem with it's main ability/mechanic yet?

    That's just one ability, I could touch on each and every ability you can get and how terribly designed they are. (A defensive shield that even when fully upgraded sucks at being a defensive shield for example.)

    Let's touch on the weapons and how to acquire them. Weapons and Abilities both are tied to open world exploration, you have to find Arks to get access to the few weapons and abilities the game has. Not much are marked on your map to start and the only way to find them is by following a vague beam of light that shoots into the sky from each Ark location. (yet the beams of light disappears constantly... bug? intended?), If you don't just google a map of each Ark location you could spend most of the game not even having access to all the weapons and abilities. (There aren't even that many) Now lets talk about the weapons, they all have a Primary and Alternate FIre mode, but they're horribly unoriginal, several just have an AIm down the Sights mode where as others seem to have just been designed to "look cool" for a trailer but be terrible at actual combat situations. Like the Firestorm Revolver, what does it do? Well it's horribly inaccurate primary fire shoots darts basically that stick into the enemies then what does it's secondary fire do? It just snaps your fingers and makes the darts explode setting it's target on fire.... Is is just me or is that horribly unnecessary? The darts could easily just explode on their own (like they do when you use Overdrive) and thus give the gun something more interesting to do with it's alternate fire, but nope, it's just a mechanic to "look cool" when you snap your fingers instead of making any sense for a combat situation. The upgrades you get for weapons seem to just be how the weapon was originally designed to be like, but they stripped it down making the default version a much worse version of how the weapon should be. For example, the "insanely innovative" upgrades for your rocket launcher that locks on to enemies, is, one upgrade allows you to lock onto a SECOND enemy! Omg! So exciting! What does another upgrade down the line do? You guessed it! You can lock onto a THIRD enemy!! So exciting, so innovative. (Your other choices are even less interesting as just being reload speed upgrades or magazine size upgrades.)

    The open world itself feels incredibly pointless and the entire game would be better if they just lined up every point of interest into a line and turned the game into a linear game. You can see all the random events that exist within 5 minutes of playing and they're all pointless. (Race someone for 1 Vehicle Upgrade part or kill random enemies on the road for a pathetic amount of xp is what it boils down to). The points of interests themselves all feel copy-pasted reusing the same environments for the same events over and over with minor differences in layout to not just be exact copy paste.

    Do yourself a favor and skip this game, I wouldn't even suggest it on sale. Even free is a waste of time and there are better free games to play.    … Expand

    Rage 1 was an interesting tech demo back in the day (well that is how I saw it). This is the final product a concept fully realised? Yeah it has some fun gun play/abilities sprinkled in between lots of empty open world jank driving and very dull open world story elements.

    This is supposed to be an Earth in Future from the NPC references local to USA? Games like Division and Fallout take cultural and political critical pot shots as Rage 2, but it is an equal opportunity bullet to the face unlike Rage 2.

    Visually the game looks over bright, but not in a fun whacky Borderlands 1/2 way. Characters look gross and weird. Story, dialogue and characters written by some who still writes with color wax crayons probably? Yeah it's that basic and dumb. What is with the SJW hair cut in this game lol?

    When stuff is going at speed and/or a lot is going on the screen performance dips to point this game was not optimised for the PS4. The in game menus also freeze so no smooth transition swapping menu screens. This is almost on par with the poor performance of Borderlands 3 gameplay/menu slowdowns.

    A missed opportunity for sure. Gun play/abilities 7/10, open world 5/10, driving 3/10, writing 1/10, escapism 0/10, performance 4/10.

Поэтому оружие стало скучным (про боеприпасы забыли), сюжет... кому он нахрен нужен, машинки (терпеть не могу) абсолютно не на что не влияют, кроме "икара". Я уверен, 99% игроков просто болт забили на открытие какого либо другого транспорта, получив "икар".
    Они даже умудрились угробить всю харизму персонажей первой части!
    Но главное это концовка, её просто нет. Нет и все.
    А ещё баги, ё маё на PS4 у меня игра умудрилась вылететь 18 раз и повесить намертво консоль 2 раза!!!
    В городе "Источник" я уже подумал, что придется бросить прохождение, но на Солнце упал метеорит и после 9 вылетов скрипт сработал.
    Ёлы палы, пишу уже после пройденных двух DLC. Звук в игре ужасен, после часа игры он перестаёт изменяться, сигнал машины включается НАВСЕГДА!
    Прошло два года, етиь колотить, неужели нельзя сделать, что бы меню не лагало? А?
    Ужасные косяки после двух лет патчей, этот девятый если не ошибаюсь!
    И это всё на PlayStation 4, представляю какое говно тварится на PC!
    Плюс ко всему игра ОЧЕНЬ короткая. Зачем надо было делать этот обрубок? Такое ощущение, что делали, делали, ещё цельный год впереди, а издатель говорит "Выпускай, что есть. Скорей, скорей, нужно прямо сейчас! И в таком виде купят".
    Ну и как сейчас модно этот гребаный феминизм, просто не веришь тому, что происходит.
    Но кому хочется пострелять, это есть. Стрелять приятно, ну как всегда у id Software. И еще сверхспособности.и..и...и.........
    После прохождения DLC, оценку снижаю!!!
    Avalanche Studios в помойку!!!
    id Software займитесь своим делом, не надо поручать крутые игры дуракам!!!    … Expand

    The game had huge potentiality to become one of the best FPS games in this decade. After you play about an hour you realize that the only good thing is gun play, that is so satisfying, but the story, repetitive missions ( both main and side) and open world is an absolute crap. Three points for gun play, zero for the rest.

    Such a shame. As reviews have probably mentioned the gameplay is good as are the graphics and the world....

    Rage 1 was not a masterpiece, far from it, simple light story. But it it had great potential for a sequel.

However I have to say that this game is is ruined by the puerile dialogue and endless pink coloring and anyoying characters, I mean virtually every character. It's got to the point where I like the gameplay but I can't stand to hear the main character talk. It's really like the dialogue and story was written by an immature 12 year old.

    It really is that bad. Other things. Game is pretty much only playable with a controller on the pc due to abilities and the car elements. Bethesda.. So.. They don't sell dlc or skins (quite why anyone would want a skin for a single player game I have no idea but there must be greed) they sell coins which means a dlc will cost 1000 coins, 10€ but what you want costs 9 euros. They force you to spend more than the value of a dlc.

    Real shame. Don't buy it. Even if you enjoyed the original unless you can take moronic dialogue and pathetic humour every 2 seconds. I wasted my money on this.

    Oh yeah and it has bugs where npcs dissappear during conversations so you are talking to nobody. Presumably they could have fixed this but didn't bother.    … Expand

    I'm not even going to finish this game. It's such a bland and boring title and in 2021 it's still filled with tons of sluggish menu lag. I liked the combat but I was still expecting more.

    This game feels like an insult to story telling. the game actually barely has a story that I think you are better off playing DOOM (2016) because this game feels like a doom clone. Which is bold to say because it was made by ID Software the same creators as doom.

I absolutely loved it. The vehicles are really cool and you can steal and drive anyone you want. You get a flying vehicle, motorcycles, two tanks and other vehicles. I thought this was cool. Your personal vehicle is armored and you can upgrade the heck out of it. Your weapons are really good and fun to use. It's an open-world style and you have tons of stuff to get into , it is a very long playing game. It's kind of snarky like how Borderlands was which makes it fun. The only thing that they do need to work on is maybe adding a team-mate in the sequel. You almost get teammates but they don't get to ride with you or do anything with you. If you choose to go down that path as a game creator, please make sure you give the teammates a lot of verbiage so their conversations don't become monotony like most video games. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with this game. Most game creators these days are like lemmings , if one gets a stupid idea everyone else follows suit and puts as much dumb stuff in a video game as they can which becomes agonizing and restrictive. They went around the status quo and added as much fun in this game as they could. Good job! I intend to buy more of your products. … Expand

    Piece of crap with nice shooting machanics and nothing else.
    Flat story, empty world, looks like worse version of 2011 oryginal game.
    Lost potential.

    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.

The environments are drab and exploration is boring as there isn't really anything to explore. All weapons and special abilities are collected via side missions, which are also boring, meaning that I completed the game without all of the powers and with only half of the weapons - you don't really need them. The only saving grace is the combat which is good, as it was made by ID Software who made Doom. Worth a quick run-through as the campaign isn't that long if you focus on the main missions only, but I would not recommend buying this - play it for free on PS Plus or your equivalent subscription service.… Expand

    Rage 2’s nonsensical story is unbearable, and the unskippable exploration parts are mostly irritating and boring. Luckily, the shooting gameplay is so amazing that it’s easy to forgive these flaws. And while encounters can become repetitive, new weapons and abilities make sure there’s always some fun to be had.

    Rage 2 is a victim of a wave of technical issues and painfully average story but still manages to be one of the most fun FPS you can encounter and can provide you with your adrenaline shot for the day if needed.
