    This game had the potential to be WAY better than it was. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it and still go to it here and there to just kill muties. Story was lacking a bit I think though.

    Why is everyone hating this game!? It's really cool and feels awesome to play, it bursts with pure action and exploration with different guns and places. I had a ton of fun with it. The only bad side is the "Projects"

    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 critics here. I gave it a 10 to compensate, but it's really more of an 9/10.

    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.

    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.

But they actually offer a decent variety than other checklist open worlds with many boss fights and other unique activities than other games with fetch quest side missions. The world is nothing special but many times it feels unique like in enemy camps with color full people and everything is pretty much covered in pink in camps and in missions. The bosses in the campaign and in open world are unique rather than just being people or animals like other games with huge health bars. A lot of the game is actually unique and the campaign is pretty good with non repetitive missions but the open checklist is still their just like any other open world game… Expand

    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.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    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.

    The open world elements are pretty generic and the “story” is laughably bad. But triggering overdrive and liquefying bandits with your shotgun is pure first person shooter ecstasy. If you can look past some obvious shortcomings you’ll find some of the best combat around.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    Compelling story? Nope. Well-developed characters? Not a one. Shooting? Some of the best to ever appear on PS4. Excellent mechanics, satisfying handling, and bucket loads of fun! This game is under reviewed. Just don’t go in expecting something it’s not.

One basic overarching revenge plot but nothing too in depth, just good old fashion run and gun shooter with super powers and super crazy enemies.

    Rage 2 isn’t the best looking game on PS4, but it is one of the most entertaining and thrilling games I’ve played since DOOM 2016. It’s not as good as DOOM but it is as fun. Where DOOM as constant adrenaline filled moments, Rage 2 has al lot more quieter moments, which brings the game down for me.

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.

    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    LONG REVIEW (30 HOURS PLAYING).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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".

    Rage 2 despite some flaws is an example of a studio who has clearly put alot of time and effort into writing the wrongs of the first game. The combat whilst extremely slow in the first 2-3 hours opens up tremendously once the player is given full reigns in the open world allowing the abilities gained from the Ark's to turn Rage 2 from a run of the mill shooter into something special.

    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.    … Expand

    If this game gets rated less than fallout 4 there is a problem...It does everything that game does but better. Without base building. Writing...combat...locations...npcs...towns...driving...driving flying vehicles...and it still runs better.

    It locks it framerate on intel with so little variation its impressive.

    Great game. The gameplay is amazing, but if you are planning on buying this game for the story or driving, buy something else. Those aspects are not the selling point of the game and probably not it's strong points either.

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

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.    … Expand

    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.    … 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.
