    A fine successor to the original that adds so much more! The gunplay is exceptional and the story is solid! Would love some meaningful side missions though and some more skins!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rage 2 is another open-world shooter that does nothing new and just uses the mechanics that other games have pioneered to create an average open-world shooter. When I saw Rage 2 advertisements I was instantly on board because it looked like doom mixed with an open-world shooter and just the concept of that is amazing, and at some points, the game does feel like an open-world doom but its very rare. The first main problem with this game is all the bugs I've encountered and just the lack of polish that the game very much needs. In my playthrough of Rage 2, there were so many bugs that took me out of the experience and just bricked my game entirely. At one point the game broke so bad that the audio completely disappeared and I had to restart my console entirely just to get my audio back. Also, many of the textures I saw looked straight up like the original Doom game and i saw many texture pop-ins in my run of Rage 2. The story is also non-existent, there are only like 10 main missions and all of them are kind of boring besides like one or two of them. However, when I saw this game I knew the story wasn't going to be that strong so I didn't expect much. The open-world in Rage 2 is also a bit shallow, don't get me wrong there are multiple locations in this game but they are mostly just one unique location copy and pasted all over the map. But every once in a while, you will stumble upon a very cool location and it's like your going through a dungeon in Zelda or one of those prepper stashes in Far Cry 5. The driver feels very good besides motorcycles which feel terrible to drive, but besides that, the driving feels very good and I applaud them for making driving such fun when they didn't have too. This goes for the gunplay too, when you are running around shooting feels absolutely amazing. All the guns feel powerful and kind of have a weight to them but some of the guns do feel weak compared to others and not needed. But for the most part, the guns are good and the gunplay is even better. The powers are another highlight too, all of them feel so fun to use and none of them feel useless besides one. The game decides to give you a power that allows you to deploy a barrier that I never used in the game besides when I had to in the tutorial. The game wants you to move around and never stay in one area which completely defeats the purpose of the barrier. It's obvious that the developers couldn't think of another power so they decided to put in this one, they could have made the barrier power but just put a barrier around you so you could move around while you have a shield. So overall this game is an above-average open-world game that comes out about every year. Is it the worst game you will play? No, but it certainly isn't the best you're going to play. So this mainly comes down to if you wanna play another open-world game then just pick up Rage 2. However, if you are looking for something good, I wouldn't recommend picking this up.… Expand

    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

    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.

    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

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

    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. 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

    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.

    This is nothing like Rage 1. It is very repetitive in all the biomes. They did nothing to change it up when you advance zones. It just felt very cookie cutter. There are basically 3 types of missions and they are all same, all 300 hundred of them, rinse and repeat. Got boring real quick. But i had to complete it. I got it on PC.

Car combat is rare however taking down convoy leaders is the best part! Picking off minions before engaging with the boss on the open road felt fun! Still there isn’t a sense of speed in driving. Aside from locating Arks for new abilities/weapons, I just don’t feel compelled to explore the map (which is rare for me!). The humour is just not funny.

    Exploration is the least satisfying of any open world game I've ever played in my life. There are a few weapons and powers you have to find scattered across the wasteland, but that's it. It's a big open waste of time and space.

    Since the writing and characters are atrocious, and every bandit-infested gas station or roadside attraction is exactly the same, there is exactly zero motivation to do anything but follow the arrows to your next objective. At least the original RAGE had character, and a fun CCG built in.

    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.

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.

    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]
