    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. It was just too short. A lot of the side quests and bounties felt repetitive for the most part. This game could have benefit greatly with multiplayer.

    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.

    Decent game, good combat although the AI isn't anything special, the graphics are average with dips when there's a lot of particles, as long as you don't set your expectations too high you will have fun.

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.

    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.
