    flying motorcycles looking for goodies.

    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.

    Flying a motorcycle threw a dense jungle at 200mph and fight 30 people with constant explorations
    the game never dropped below 100 fps on my 1070.

    If you have a high refresh rate monitor and a good pc, this is the best optimized open world game i have ever played...and I 100% complete The Witcher 3...3 times.    … Expand

    Rage 2 is..........fine. I haven't come across anything that was done terribly wrong, but it only does one thing very well.

I might suggest waiting until a drop in the price, it was a little short for my liking.… Expand

    Uma mistura de Doom com Mad Max. Bom FPS, frenético e divertido. Porém falhou como mundo aberto, a narrativa é rasa, muito poluído de informações. Esperava mais desse game.

    In the year 2019 you simply can't release a forced 1st person game anymore. People don't like forced 1st person games. So don't do it. You always, ALWAYS add an optional 3rd person view option in any game. Because if you don't, your game will not get far. Just don't do it. Hope devs learn and especially CDPR too.

    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

    Story wise, there is absolutely no story that is interesting. The introduction of the game is just wierd and you have no clue who you are or why the hell you are doing what your're doing. The overall acting of the characters is extremely bad, including the voice-overs. The graphics are so bad on pc, you don't believe the first time you start playing. I literally, went back to the settings menu, thinking I forgot to save my video-settings, but I was all activated.

    Driving your car is horribly, even after upgrading the care a bit. The missions are boring as hell, and i mean the main missions. It all comes down to go their and kill everything in a world that is empty as hell! This is just DOOM in a sandbox with additional skills like a double jump and more of that stuff. I'm glad I've not yet finished days gone, because I refunded this game.

    Rage 1 was better than this second installment.    … Expand

    Rage 2 it’s a fun game in the combat but it isn’t Rage 1. The story is very generic followed by 70+ years after Rage 1. Rage 2 is a colourful neon mess if your on LSD as it makes the textures way to blurry and visual bugs. And yes micro transactions are skins sadly .

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.

    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.
