    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

It is now 3 years after launch. It's safe to say it's not getting fixed. It ruined the whole game for me. It's not bad if you ignore the completely broken main quest. Otherwise the game lacked any kind of pacing or cinematic quality. Gameplay fundamentals were good but main weapons and abilities were locked behind vaults spread out over the entire massive map. So by the time you get everything you want, it's about time for the game to be over. Which is another way to say you spend most of the game without the coolest stuff. A next gen patch and a bug overhaul would go a long way for this game.… 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. Rage 2 the game is comparable to the current failings of many Hollywood movies. Flashy, mindless, full of cringe writing and over staying it’s welcome.    … Expand

I have never had a game that made me think that first, the sticks on my controller were broken, then, that my AV receiver was somehow causing a latency so it had me redone my cable management to plug my ps4 directly to my tv, and then, had my thinking that my TV had broken and was no longer supporting game mode. 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.

Надо все выкинуть на свалку и сделать по новому, а не развивать то, что есть! 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.........

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

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

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

    It’s like you are playing a mobile game.
    Collect, collect, collect, collect. Collect spare parts, collect garbage, collect weapon upgrades. collect, improve the armor, collect something else. Collect, upgrade and again.
    You have to spend a lot of time on completely meaningless and tedious things, but then you will find a bonus at the end, and so the whole game. A bunch of meaningless things addictive gameplay. Coins and luminous little things. In my opinion, the game was originally conceived as garbage to pump money, but then they realized that it was disgusting and the lootboxes would simply bury this game.

    Riding uninteresting. There is only one car, everything else is just there. Skirmishes on cars are even worse.
    Shooting is not interesting. But the management of the plant is not bad.
    The graphics are good, but very poorly optimized.
    The interface is the worst I've seen.

    The game is unfinished. It has a huge amount of stupid flaws. I have not seen such a hack for a very long time. One of the worst games of the decade. Playing this is a real torture.    … Expand

    Menuda ponzoña de juego. Un puto caos desde el principio , con escenas sin sentido que pretenden ser epicas y no llegan a ná.
    Borrado tras 15 minutos, literalmente.

    The action mechanics are great, the shooting, jumping and exploding. Everything else is not. The open world is just an empty, uninspired obstacle, the vehicle driving a not especially funny mess and the story is a laughing matter (in a bad way). Overall just a forgettable game.

    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.

    UPD: Six months after release. Was hoping for the adequate post-release content, but there's no way. Weekly and monthly updates are still garbage - weapon and transport skins are the ONLY things you receive for free.

    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

    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. 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.

    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 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.

    The relentless thrill of one half of it dragged down by the barren, boring needless sprawl of the other. [Issue#334, p.110]
