    RAGE 2 is a game for lovers of fast-paced FPS action. The gunplay is amazing, almost as good as DOOM (2016), and the game has a ton of things to do. Although it’s repetitive and the main story is shorter than expected, the overall package is solid. It runs at 60fps on PS4 Pro, with some minor dips. I highly recommend it if you enjoy quick combat, gore; chaos and brainlesss action.

    Enjoyable experience. Feels like a Doom RPG. With some mad max mixed in. I would reccomend it to friends.

    I liked this game. I don't want to solve puzzles or sneak around. There's no stupid stealth mission in the middle. Give me weapons and skills and reasons to use them. Use vortex to launch yourself then use slam...boom! A little short maybe,forgettable story. But still fun.

The only way I can contribute to that is by doing the same thing but at the other side of the scale. metacritic's score system is dumb as well. Many, many games stay without score because they don't reach the necessary 4 reviews. This makes quick valueing of a game impossible. Changes that need to be made:-
    -Show the score from the get-go!
    -Make a written review mandatory for scores from 9 and up and certainly from 3 and down!
    Unless changes in the scoring system are made, sites like Metacritic will become untrustworthy and useless. One could certainly argue that that moment has already happened
    On the game itself: why do almost all recent games ship with an open world? What's wrong with a more linear game? Uncharted was one. It was good. Doom was one. It was great. I read here people nagging on the simple or absent story and at the same time shouting themselves hoarse that the action is narrativly interupted. Sigh... game reviews, by critics or users -hey everybody's a critic for the last 6 years already- have lost all merit. Rage 2 getting 70-ish and block pixel games or walking simulators getting 90-ish just because they're "stylish"?? Doling out zero's because the kiddies bear a grudge? Or because it's all the rage (haha) to do so? Yeah, lost all merit.

    Rage 2 is truly a very unique experience. The brutal and satisfying combat from Doom, and the vehicular combat from Mad Max make it a pleasure to tear through the wasteland.

    If you love story-driven, no-gameplay, casual and pointless snot about love, tears and "Baron stories" - this masterpiece isn't for you.

    If you love story-driven, no-gameplay, casual and pointless snot about love, tears and "Baron stories" - this masterpiece isn't for you.

    Generally, this is just excellent game that actually achieve it's own aims and targets. You get infinite madness, based on flexible and smooth shooter mechanics with deep upgrade system. Skill-based gameplay and the art of destroying enemies.

    • Great amount of customization, upgrades, abilities, opportunities and skills in game. This game takes all the experiences from the best single-player shooters and does one of the best experiences for last years. I really enjoy both opening and using new abilities. Unique feeling of how "you were" and how you are now after a couple of enhancements- just gives you very satisfying feeling. It makes you research and rethink your own gameplay style, reinventing it over and over again until it comes to your ideal style.

    • Really satisfying and cozy art-direction, and vision of post-apocalyptic madness. At the same time some levels and company moments of the game are having pretty serious atmosphere, which also feels good. Plot is basic but it's actually what such games need. Characters are simple, but have unique charisma each.

    • Driving options aren't really variable, but generally took the best from Avalanche's Mad Max Experience and is a good addition to dilute infantry shooting with some death-race elements or just to effectively destroy enemies in bases, which is fun according to how unique is each machine unit by shooting, driving and abilities criterias + deep customization. Don't wait for it to become the main mechanics. It's just very satisfying addition.

    • Good controls over the hero, intuitive interface, stylish glitch effects, okay-plot that absolutely fits games aims. This game is about gameplay-fun, mad-max-like vibe and good art-direction.

    • Design of the world is also understandable. Some people believe if you made Open World - it has to be about adventure, exploring, RPG and life simulation. Well, I love this way but there's another concept. RAGE2 didn't even ever try to pretend to be like RPG-open world about exploration. Open World here plays a role of an option for you to replace load times between company missions on activities, so you could have even more shooting and driving fun, collect resources, find upgrades and do side-quests. Just to have some free-time fun still based on same shooting/driving experience. No more, no less. And if you understand open world the way it's meant to be understood - you won't really complain about it. It achieves it's aims.

    I love taking over bases, find and open stuff which increases my hours of core game experience. A very good time spending between main story lines. So don't wait from open world stuff it didn't aim and promise to achieve. It's an opportunity to have some more fun for you IF YOU WISH (because no one makes you grind the world, it's optional). Maybe if you give this game a chance - sequel could potentially enhance it's open world concept into something you actually wait for. With personal quests, research, exploration and life simulation. Yet - suggested concept perfectly fits game's design.

    For me Rage2 successfully achieved all goals devs actually wanted to achieve. Don't judge games for stuff it doesn't even has as a target to bring anyone

    Minuses:

    • Why didn't you give console versions more manual control options? I mean, it's 2019 year, it's time to take console shooting a bit more serious with giving more opportunities to player. Deadzone, responsive curve, acceleration etc. These options should be available for shooter-core games.

    • Game really lacks like sandbox sabotage mechanics, to wreak some chaos from the shadows. Kinda stealth but not necessary in a primitive orthodox meaning. At least something very basic. It just kinda feels generic: entering battles one way over and over again, while you can always take at least couple of enemies without warning. I don't ask for deep-stealth experience, cuz game is about different rhythm. But at least to have detection mechanics, so until being detected I could play a bit with stuff to enter the battle with prepared actions or by neutralizing key enemies, leaving secondaries around to fight traditional way.

    • IDK why so bad optimization on base PS4. I personally play on PS4 Pro. But you know, ps4 pro, xone x and cross-gen in general shouldn't even exist and your primary priority should be the base console performance. Although, effects, art and physics in the game are very good - overal graphics visually don't even try to use even 70% of base PS4 powers... At least I have 60fps on Pro... My friends have 30fps, blurry image, v-sync etc. Please, polish the game while you have time.

    I want this masterpiece franchise to become popular and have sequels. And I really wish you to fix some issues AFAIK, because some people might not want to get the game because of it

If you enjoy shooting, exploration, looting and kicking butt Rage 2 is it. Again a solid 9 , I read and laugh at reviews and what they thought it should be not what we were told and is.

    Posting my review again as it was somehow deleted without even notifiying me:

    This review is also a post against bu**sh*t reviews like the one further down here which says:

    "This is what you get on base ps4:
    •30 fps lock
    •significant input lag (due to fps lock & inability to disable v-synk) which makes it hard to aim
    •blurry image like its an early ps3 game
    •graphics from first rage
    There is no objective reason to buy this game on base consoles
    it's unplayable
    ps4 pro version is fine though"

    So my info on this:

    - Yes there is a 30 fps lock on base consoles, but its stable 30 fps which nowhere hinders the game experience.
    - Input lag ? No there is no input lag, what this user must have experienced is known as AUTOAIM, nothing more nothing less, or he cant shoot, maybe..
    - Blurry Image ? It is reported that on consoles it looks a little bit washed out, but not even close to a ps3 game, typical stupid answer from people who dont know what to say.
    - Graphics from first rage. Should I even say anything about this ? If you compare both games than they are night and day, maybe some people should get their eyes checked.

    "There is no objective reason to buy this game on base consoles
    it's unplayable" - I also play on base ps4 and Im already at least 12 hours or more in, its more than playable and I didnt even had any framedrops.

    Also beside this:
    + Pretty good gameplay itself ( wheter it be the core gun play with all the perks or it be the racing part especially when killing convois )
    + Cool open world with distinct biomes
    + Overall a pretty cool game where you can tell that id had some part on it especially with some enemies and the guns themself.

    In my opinion, the game isn't trying to impress you with it's graphical prowess, or it's magnificient plot. No... it's about the combat.... and the combat; It's simply great.

    Rage 2 is best described as a combination of the Mad Max game and the new DOOM.
    Both of which I liked, but Mad Max did admittedly lose me before I finished it because of the repetition. Didn't stop me from playing it for several days back then though.
    Rage 2 hasn't lost me and I'm about to finish the story after 3 days of playing.

    This has been one of those games that have had me playing for so long I've been starving, since I've been too excited to keep on killing things to even go make dinner. It's also one of those games that I deliberately kept in the dark about. I tried to watch "just enough" to know if I'd dig it and the style of the combat and the few short trailers made me decide to have a go at it.
    Going in with very little expectations and hype - and nothing "spoiled", I've been thoroughly entertained for probably around 20+ hours now.

    I've seen some people mention they've passed the story in 7 hours or so and it makes me wonder if they even got the abilities, found the Arks and got the amazing tools of destruction that make me so eager to run from one task to another, just to get into combat again. The urge to try and mix up everything I have in my arsenal in an even more satisfying way than before is a very big factor in this game. To me, that enthusiasm about having fun with the combat itself completely negates "repetition" when it comes to the copious amounts of sideactivities. I'm glad there's alot of it and I'm not trying to obsessively accept every "quest" either. I've just gone with the flow and it has been fantastic. Some people also say the world is dead and lifeless while simultaneously complaining about the repetition... well.. as I've indeed "gone with the flow" so much, I think there's very little dull moments in the world. There's usually always something that can grab your attention and pull you towards the next mayhem.

    I think I've now saved my game just before the very last story mission. I lack one Ark ability (no idea where that Ark is), but otherwise I'm good to go. When the story is over, I can see myself still playing for a good 10 hours atleast, if not more just because I just enjoy the gameplay itself.

    I have had a few bugs - one with the HUD disappearing when I record a clip with the "Share" button, but it re-appears when I just open my weapon menu and fixes itself. Also a few audio issues where an audio clip is "left on" when it shouldn't have. This has required a save and a reload to fix. But they haven't been really bothersome at all.

    This isn't a game that's taking itself seriously.. at one part the protagonist you control even makes fun of the questing system, how he/she "just so happens to be the only one who can do" that particular next thing that's the problem. It knows it's just a game, but it gives you tons to have fun with.

    I'm... honestly weirded out how bad this game has been reviewed. Maybe it's just a difference of opinion then... or maybe people expected something else entirely. Or maybe because I haven't really played a first person shooter in a good while (DOOM was the previous one I think, when it came out), I'm really enjoying it. But if you're looking for a very decently "GOOD" game for the sheer purpose of action filled combat and aren't looking for a story - I would recommend checking the game out.

    Now, I will add that this isn't one of the exceptionally fantastic games that we get every now and then. But a VERY decent in-between game if this type of game is your "cup of tea".

    (Also: There are 71 User reviews that give this game a 0/10 while mentioning one or two reasons... Some gamers are making this whole industry infuriating sometimes. Cut the drama folks, you exaggerate more than my grandmother.)

And note that there is a bunch of free DLC coming down the road (including a mech suit). Most of the current paid DLC is cosmetic/time saving in nature...which is not a big deal. I'm just not sure why someone would buy this game full price at release, play it for two hours, and then review trash it the next day. (You'd probably be better served trash reviewing your money-management skills instead.) If you didn't like the game please be respectful to the developers and the metacritic community and give reasoned explanations for your dislike. For what this game aimed to be...it is a 9/10 gameplay. This single-player only game has extremely tight controls and is very fun to play.

    I heard the game was short well I got 6h of gameplay and im still at the very first area of the map when you play the last level of difficulty you got a solid challenge AI is great they come to you trow grenade everytime forces you to use your skills when you're shoot you must be faster cuz it takes like 2 second they shoot you. The skills are balanced you have a very good amount of satisfying skills each skills can be level up and upgraded 4-5 times. You got other skills you unlock when you meet characters in story mission. Eight gun upgradable 4-5 times with different perks AND you can upgrade your véhicule too and you got plenty of véhicule. Shooting mecanic are on top of the game the gore system is impressive you can cut head or leg of your ennemy with yiur wingstick oh and you can upgrade that too and so your grenade. There's approximately more than 100 things upgradable in this game. Bullet impact wow only problem controller vibration is to weak and unfortunately we can't change that anywere. For a shooter like that a hood feeling on the controller is a must I hope they will make an upgrade for that.

    Content mission exploration you got differenr ennemy camp " arche " " sentinelle " sorry don't know the word in english and many other place you can explore. Im not far in the game right now butI do hope we gonna have a better ennemy variety cuz for now its always the same.

    Driving is fun really but could have been better ...

    Story look better than the first thatus great even if I didn't expected a great story im not disappointed by it.

    Graphic are great some things like tree are disgusting but by example ennemy at the beginning of the game those monster were very impressive texture were very good and more beautiful than any game in 2019 right now some aspect are top notch other like by example trees are ugly overall its beautiful.

    Frame rate for pspro 60 fps wow thank you. Sad for base consoles owner.

    Overall its a very good game that i have a fun like i never had for a long time for an action shooter. Im.ok with reviewers most of the time not everytime but most of the time but 76 its weak it deserves at least a 85. Despite is flaws every game have flaws the action is very near perfection graphic are good overall exploration could be a little bit better but still good upgrading skills weapons etc is near perfection so this game should had a 85. My personnal score its 90 because it was suppose to be an huge action shooter in an open world and they deliver it the best way they could have done. I rated a 10 just to try to level up the note cuz troll putting 0 because because of input lag ( nothing close to have an input lag ) graphic of the first rage ? Goddamn it its a mile better new generations new engine first rage look like **** compared to this so troll puting ridiculous reviews get offf the internet please.

    And for people who talking about blurry image im sad for you as for myself I had absolutely NOTHING like that. Graphic 70% on what the console can do thats a little bit severe its not the most beautiful game so far but it is beautiful for a recent game and more beautiful than many AAA game especially the ennemies and boss very impressive.

    Last thing, sorry for my bad english its not my primary langage but I prefered to write in english to be able to join more people.

    LONG REVIEW (30 HOURS PLAYING).

    As a fan of ID Software since the 90s (and a fan of open world shooters like Borderlands 2 and Far Cry, aswell as the first Rage) I think this is a very good game.

    The shooting mechanics are as awesome as they can be today and the enemies are relentles and brutal. The game is (in my opinion) too easy on medium dificulty, but if you play it on hard or nightmare it would be a great and frenetic experience. There is always a new power, weapon, upgrade to reach and you never stop to improve, becoming more and more brutal each time.

    The story is maybe a bit too short (8 misions). But the 4 I have done so far were long awesome and brutal at the same time. Its not a complex story... but you shouldn´t be expecting that from an ID Software game right :) ?

    Graphics and music are ok. Nothing revolutionary but not bad either. In PS4 Pro the game runs at 60 fps like 95% of the time (and when it drops looks still above 30) and excepting one major graphic issue on the prologue, 0 bugs. Textures should improve (like in the first Rage) but apart from that... pretty polished game. And about the music... it just fulfills what you can expect about a postapocaliptic enviroment.

    The open world (as such)... AWESOME. You have 12 types of diferent acitivities (like bandits lairs, mutant bosses and such) but each one of them has its own lore and personality ensuring you dont see the same place twice. The driving feels great and the convoy chasing is quite nice.
    Major problems on the game:
    - No good secondary missions. While you have (as I said) a pretty good open world with lore and meaning... you have no big missions apart from the main story. They should have translated that lore into missiones and subplots but they didnt. The closest you get to this is NPC sending you to locations on the map you can do on your own (ok, dialogues, backstory... but not a real mission). If not for this, this game would be a MASTERPIECE.
    - Not enough driving challenges. In Rage you have dozens of races and vehicle arenas. In rage 2 you got 1 circuit, the conboys and the possibility of randomly encountering a pilot in the wasteland and compete against it. Maybe Im missing something in that part... but after exploring (overviewing) like 75% on the maps there seem to be no other circuits.

    I would rate it a 75/100 (and it would be a 10 without those 2 failures). I rate it a 10 to counter the undeserved hate it has received.

    PD: Also miss the first rage card game T_T

    First off, rage 2 is probably more like an 8.5/10, but I had to try and balance out all the crazy hate being spread about it. Go watch ACG review it on YouTube for some great detailed points. I would agree that it's a little odd for a game in 2019 to not have 4K at least as an option (So many games let you choose "resolution" or "performance" in the options).

That aside, I played it on PS4 Pro and don't agree with the people saying the visuals are bad. I would love Rage 2 to be able to get 4K on the PS4 Pro but as of now that's just not the deal.
    Moving on, the gameplay is so much fun and is clearly the star of this game! The guns, equipment and abilities allow for so many ways to destroy your enemies. I found myself always chasing the next upgrade or power. There is SO MUCH to upgrade here it can be overwhelming at first, but once you decide on your favorites you can pretty quickly become an ultimate killing machine. The game knows you want to be powerful and it doesn't stop you from getting there however you want. When you do die, it's simple to rethink your approach and use a completely different set of guns and powers to correct your mistake.
    One thing I loved, and maybe not everybody will, is that you can carry everything at all times! You don't have to worry about what should I equip and what should I leave at a base, it's ALL with you ALL the time and is easy to switch between.
    I didn't expect a ground breaking story (it definitely is not one), but that's not why I wanted Rage 2. This game is about the freedom to play how you want and is great whether you pick it up for a 5 minute fix or a 5 hour session.
    Don't listen to the negativity about Rage 2, it's a blast to play and my only gripe this far is that I wish they had given me the option to experience it all in 4K on my PS4 Pro.
    Again, I say 8.5/10, losing a bit for the lack of 4K in a generation where it has become standard.

It's combat, for me, is fast paced and I can bounce around a bandit camp punching, shooting and launching enemies in all directions. The story is about as complex as its predecessor, nothing spectacular but a good enough excuse to bash in heads and throw bodies off of buildings. I'm now around three quarters of the way through this game and while it is repetitive with the activities, the way I can go about them is plentiful enough to keep my interest. This game feels like Mad Max's younger and more immature sibling, and I don't think I'd have enjoyed this as much if it took itself as seriously as Mad Max. The title is accurate, I can go around releasing pent-up aggression by being overpowering on random baddies. There are plenty of games that are story-driven, miserable, woe-is-me tales so it is a breath of fresh air to have a single player game that's just a bit of a laugh. I've enjoyed this game so much that I've made an account just to review it. I feel this game has a bad rep because it isn't aiming for the drama and political conflict in games like The Last Of Us but if we look to movies, the best ones aren't necessarily the best reviewed, Rage 2 is a little gem that I will keep playing to the end. P. S. I've never had to set foot in the microtransactions in the game. Expand

    It's not to say the game has some flaws and the 2 major ones are the story and the vehicles. Again like it's predecessor Rage 2 has an extremely incoherent story with probably the most cookie cutter bad guys I have seen in a shooter since The Helgast from Killzone and the final boss (General Cross) Is poorly implemented and feels like a backstep from the final boss of DOOM 2016 which made use of player skill and a decent spike in difficulty.
    Next the vehicles handle like ass which is baffling seeing as Mad Max had some fantastic controls (On Console) this maybe down to the mix of being an FPS and a Vehicle Combat game which may suggest a split on balancing.
    Overall Rage 2 is a fun game that is painfully average in some portions but I would highly recommend picking it up on a sale only for the fantastic combat and something to keep your attention.

    Graphics do not look bad, at all. I can see how maybe the base ps4 (ps poor, block yourself if you find yourself triggered) will look, similar to the last Rage, but no complaints on PS4 Pro.

    Je n'attendais pas ce Rage 2 avec enthousiasme mais plutôt une curiosité polie, ayant été très refroidi par le premier "épisode"... Et pourtant, après un début ma foi assez maladroit, le jeu déploie ses ailes et ses ambitions à l'issue de cette première mission : on a la bagnole, quelques pétoires... et tout un monde à faire péter devant nous !

    Un monde ouvert fort bien fait, nettement inspiré des meilleurs Far Cry d'Ubi Soft mais avec la touche "Mad Max" en plus... et surtout la touche iD Software : la grosse baston à la Doom 2016 en somme mais agrémentée de pouvoirs (très rigolos) et sans la nécessité de se soigner avec des beignes au corps-à-corps. En vérité, les possibilités sont très riches au fur et à mesure qu'on débloque moult compétences et autres **** "plus" qui nous facilitent le massacre à une cadence industrielle...

    Rage 2 ne fait pas dans la dentelle, il fait, que dis-je, il excelle dans la destruction et le déluge de feu pour nettoyer, décrasser en profondeur toute la vermine du "wasteland"... avec un second degré très bienvenu et toute une ambiance survoltée, exagérée et souvent drolatique ! l'excellente VF permet d'apprécier ce côté "série B" qui ne se pose pas de questions mais va droit au but. Avec le lance-roquettes. Surtout que le héros -ou l'héroïne- parle, contrairement aux Far Cry !

    Les phases en véhicules sont très réussies également et le "phénix", notre carrosse personnel dont on peut améliorer les capacités -aussi- est doté d'une... forte personnalité... D'autres véhicules plus ou moins brutaux et offensifs sont également débloquables tandis qu'on se balade et qu'on fait le ménage... Une mention spéciale pour les "convois" -optionnels- qu'on prend plaisir à dézinguer de façon très mad & furious, d'ailleurs.

    Si le jeu a quelques défauts, ce sera un peu sa répétition et sa campagne un peu courte finalement... ainsi que sa musique plutôt ratée, ses menus perfectibles et quelques bugs mais rien de bien méchant. Nul besoin de farmer quoi que ce soit en tout cas, il suffit de parcourir la carte et jouer normalement comme dans tout monde ouvert bien équilibré qui se respecte, et ça c'est très appréciable. On sent son personnage évoluer et devenir la terreur enragée (ah l'overdrive !) dans ce monde de tarés, et ça aussi, c'est très appréciable.

    Sur la X, on a droit à du 60 im/s qui tient très bien la route même si c'est seulement du 1080 ; de rares textures sont étonnamment vilaines mais le jeu se signale par son bon goût de post-apocalypse (à part les fumigènes roses...) bien délabrée et déjantée. Les effets sonores sont impeccables et participent à cette furie des combats.

    Excellente surprise donc que ce Rage 2 : drôle, furieux, très amusant... un Doom open-bar à ciel ouvert et libre comme l'air. Basique mais réjouissant, exacerbé mais ironique. Simplet mais généreux : du pur gros jeu vidéo en somme.

    Not the greatest story, but the gameplay loop is very fun. The upgrades you get for your character actually feel impactful and while the open world is not unique, it still provides a playground of destruction that can make 2-3 hours disappear quickly without noticing it.

    Bonito y divertido videojuego.
    Los mejor de Rage 2 es cuando se parece a Doom, sin embargo la Paleta de colores, el mundo vacío pero colorido es aceptable. Nada mejor que caminar en esr desierto colorido y prepararte para la matanza. Divertido y el precio hoy en 2021 es muy bajo. Comprarlo pero si tienes una tv buena para que puedas sentir esa paleta de colores.

I was expecting the story to be forgettable but I'm blown away, it's not an academy award winning story but it's a lot of fun. Cross (the main antagonist) is such a dislikable character and I think that's what they were going for. I really enjoyed going up against him throughout the story. They did a great job with the allies as far as them being likeable and they did their job. I loved the story for what it's supposed to be and overall it did what it was supposed to do. The graphics are superb, maybe because I'm playing on a 4K but it's great. I saw multiple comments saying the game looks like a 360 game. Are you on meth? The colors go great with the theme and wackiness of the game.

    The biomes and diversity of the world was surprising. I didn't expect anything too interesting but I loved driving and flying across the different areas of the map. Overall this game is nothing but fun, and if that's what you're looking for and this game looks interesting to you then I think you can't go wrong.
    You can't go in with high expectations, just enjoy it for what it's meant to be.

    This is a proper game. Gameplay wise it's a 10/10 for me. The story is bland but I kinda like the villain anyway, but it's also way too short. Graphics are great and despite what many say the open world has quite much fun stuff to do. A strong 8/10 from me.

    I thought it was pretty good. Improved on Rage a lot although was less rememberable somehow. Reminded me of a better version of Mad Max. The gunplay style forced me out of my duck and fire or retreat and fire play style that I’ve been using. I enjoyed the switch in pace to an attack style. I found myself facing the final boss when I thought I was about halfway done with the game. II thought it was pretty good. Improved on Rage a lot although was less rememberable somehow.

I just set a waypoint on the map for somewhere I havent been and go explore it. Somem areas tell you the "level" of the area and if it's too high I just think "Can't wait til I can comeback here!". THe powers you unlock are very fun and intuitive. I see a group of bad guys and I think "okay, I'll jump in with my slam, then throw my vortex, then I'll double jump up there and throw some grenades, and yada yada". Very satisfying. I don't really follow the narrative in most games, so I can't really judge that - but if you are about fun open world exploring and exciting gameplay then this is your game.

    Finding new vehicles is fun too. You see a new one out in the world and you bring it back to the nearest garage and now you can call it up anytime for a small fee. Very exciting to find a new car.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rarely review games, but I needed to do it for this game.

    I actually really liked this game, overall it's a shooter, with very little story or fluff to take up space. Looking at you Wolfenstein and Doom, you were supposed to be semi-mindless shooters. Rage 2 is exactly that, a mindless shooter, and I like it.

    But it does have issues:
    - No real story, also means just meandering around the map clearing it, and the story is very quickly done.
    - "Holes" in the world where you can slip behind it, usually happens on motor bikes or the Icaros.
    - "Cheat" Wizard appearing completely random, met him once, didnt have money, read what it was and couldn't find him again. Literally spent 2 hours flying around looking in the 7 spots I could figure out he should be in. Lame beyond hell, and how is this a cheat anyway, it's buffs you can randomly find from a merchant that won't reappear. One buff he sells is x2 felrite for some hours, as if felrite was a rare resource. At the end of the game, without his buff, I had 30k+ felrite left, and continuously got more, but money?
    - After completing the game, and every single place on the map, I still did not have enough money for everything, money apparently being the most valuable resource in the game . Not even close, no the only way to get the money is by grinding. **** that, and **** that development manager that took that decision. Spending a couple of hours delivering the same vehicle over and is not fun, bounty hunting for scraps even more so. At the end I had still not bought any skins, and I'd grinded at least 30K, but I ended with less than 10K. And I didn't even waste more than a couple of hundred on ammo, so what the hell?
    - Same goes for Project Points, I was missing more than 20 project points after completing the entire map, what's up with that? Also Projects wasn't really worth it for top tier, best tier was usually two or three, again really crappy design.
    - Upgrades from the doctor in Well Spring, I think I ended with having 5 of each, I simply couldn't find more of the components, I might have more at the end, like 2-3 more, but I was missing 15 in total?!??!?! I cleared the map, and bought everything from every vending machine and vendor I came across.
    - I ended up with 20-30 additional weapon cores, and other upgrade stuff, but too little of others.
    - It was literally not until I had to go into the last mission I figured out how to call vehicles in, not that it was important, but again why make it so stupid?!?!??
    - 90% of weapon used by me was riffle and shotgun, 5% rocket launcher, rest of the weapons weren't very useful. Well fire revolver was good in a pinch, but besides that? Generally the other weapons were semi-useless. Hyper riffle, which is likely the last weapon you'll get has 3 ammo, yes it can hit several people in a line, but can you line them up in a chaotic shooter? Not me. And the plasma canon also sucked, why to little damage.
    - Weapons and abilities from Arks were stupidly placed on the map, basically making it so you wouldn't have the ability, till you could max it out the moment you got it. Yeah Vortex level 1, no 2 sec. Vortex level 3 with all upgrades. Hyper riffle, let's see you use the basic version? No, it's fully upgraded, uhm fine.
    - Empty areas on the map, I've played a lot of board games, and this game reeks of unfinished parts, that will likely come as DLC's, I don't care about that, but it felt weird flying over a race track that you couldn't race on.
    - Saves, I still cannot figure out how it decides to save, and where it pops you after death, which wouldn't be a problem if..
    - Edge of map kills fast, ravines kills fast, soo many way to die quickly, and it's super annoying sliding slowly to your doom, without any way to save yourself.

    Still this is a good mindless shooter, but it does have problems.

    Rage 2 is a GREAT game! Very beautiful graphics, specially lighs and explosions. Although it's only 1080p on Ps4pro, it more than makes up for it with 60fps and above avarage, modern visuals. The story is obviously not the focus, but rather the gameplay, which is a blast. I've been playing videogames for 25 years and I can say that this is a fun and very well made game.

    It seems like a lot of gamers expected something that this game is not: a story-driven game. This game is just dumb fun, and I think that's what most iD games are. Like John Carmack (founder of iD) said: “Story in a game is like story in a p*rn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not important.”

    I never really write reviews for games, but I just don't understand the negative

    The shooting mechanics feel incredibly tight, the vehicles are fun to drive, the graphics are quite good for an open world game, the art direction is beautiful, and most of all - it's fun! I haven't had this fun in a game since Doom (2016) and Zelda - Breath of the wild.

    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.
