    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.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    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    … Expand

    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

    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 is a good game created by a very talented team of game developers. If you are a fan of action/FPS games I would recommend it. Its a FUN game! 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

    This game is pure bubblegum fun and I’m glad I bought it even after seeing mixed reviews. Super cool, Mad max esque open world. Far larger than reviews make it seem. I don’t even care for first person games and I’m hooked. There is an incredible amount of content and stuff to do and has loads of character. People giving it less than a 6 are spoiled trolls and part of this new culture/trendThis game is pure bubblegum fun and I’m glad I bought it even after seeing mixed reviews.

    I don't care about the graphics. Never did. 30 fps or 60 fps, input lag, blurry visuals, awful characters, ... blablabla... I DONT CARE ! I wanted a game where I could drive around in a huge world and kick some ass. And I got it. The story is short but there are tons of other different things to do and these are not boring to me at all. Ok, it's not a 10, I would say a 7 or 8, but I giveI don't care about the graphics.

    So far the best action shooter I've ever played in my life. I had big hope for this game and Im truly happy to not be disappointed my expectations we're high and so the game is exactly even better than my expectations

    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    So far the best action shooter I've ever played in my life. I had big hope for this game and Im truly happy to not be disappointed my expectations we're high and so the game is exactly even better than my expectations

    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.    … Expand

    Not sure why the bad reviews. Max Max by Avalanche received the same reception for no reason. And that in my personnel opinion was one of my favorite games of this generation. This game is not deep is story but its not meant to be an RPG and Fallout it is not. Its a beautiful open world and set out to be what its meant to be.

Amazing gunplay, beautiful graphics, and very rewarding. I have not played this for to long hence the 9 rating, but I want to counter all the negative ratings out there.

    This is so much fun! The world design is rough, cool, industrial and weapons are awesome. Gameplay is great too. I didn’t play the first one, but I’m assuming that has something to do with the haters, because there is no version of reality where this is below a 6. I’m doing 90% of the side quests and it is coming in around 45 hours.

    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]
