    This game is AMAZING even if you hate the story,world,characters,etc the combat is so fun that this other things have little to no importance and when this game is firing on all cylinders is a beautiful ballet of death and destruction even more than 2016 Doom and if you like that game you gonna love Rage 2

I also like the open world it takes place in, Rage 2 is a good and mindless FPS with tons of action and plenty to do. My only complaint is while driving from place to place there should've been way more random events and encounters to keep things fresh. But all in all I think Avalanche did a good job and am glad this game ame out.… Expand

    Such a shame. As reviews have probably mentioned the gameplay is good as are the graphics and the world....

    Rage 1 was not a masterpiece, far from it, simple light story. But it it had great potential for a sequel.

However I have to say that this game is is ruined by the puerile dialogue and endless pink coloring and anyoying characters, I mean virtually every character. It's got to the point where I like the gameplay but I can't stand to hear the main character talk. It's really like the dialogue and story was written by an immature 12 year old.

    It really is that bad. Other things. Game is pretty much only playable with a controller on the pc due to abilities and the car elements. Bethesda.. So.. They don't sell dlc or skins (quite why anyone would want a skin for a single player game I have no idea but there must be greed) they sell coins which means a dlc will cost 1000 coins, 10€ but what you want costs 9 euros. They force you to spend more than the value of a dlc.

    Real shame. Don't buy it. Even if you enjoyed the original unless you can take moronic dialogue and pathetic humour every 2 seconds. I wasted my money on this.

    Oh yeah and it has bugs where npcs dissappear during conversations so you are talking to nobody. Presumably they could have fixed this but didn't bother.    … Expand

    I'm not even going to finish this game. It's such a bland and boring title and in 2021 it's still filled with tons of sluggish menu lag. I liked the combat but I was still expecting more.

    The action is great and the upgrading system keeps you going for a while. The open world, however, is grossly repetative and the game lacks interesting side quests.

    not bad as a pure shooting concept, but other than that the game sucks the story is so bad and short the world full of ubisoft side missions.
    the final boss fight is fun, handling most of the weapons is good also.

    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.

    Underrated gem. Rage 2 is the definition of FUN. I loved every aspect of the game. Guns, missiles, superpowers, monsters, cars on fire, this is why i love video games. This game is phenomenal, it has it all.

    And that's just a short review, not all parts of the film, and it's just a summary.
    Everything is dead without a story. The game is not excluded from this rule. The lack of a compelling story is the main reason for the weakness of this title, otherwise what reason other than a really awful story and boring tutorials has prevented this game from getting better?

    This game feels like an insult to story telling. the game actually barely has a story that I think you are better off playing DOOM (2016) because this game feels like a doom clone. Which is bold to say because it was made by ID Software the same creators as doom.

    Was a big fan of the first Rage but this game was just a huge disappointment! Rage 2 is not a bad game but its not a good game. They should have got rid of the open world and had level based scripted fps action! Doom and wolfenstien just raised the bar too high for Rage 2 to succeed

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

    Good game. Got it done in 30 or so hours. Combat is fun but story is average. The missions get repetitive however the combat and shooting are solid but unfortunately vehicle combat lacks as you get a flying car pretty early on which is by far the best way to travel. Overall I still enjoyed my experience with it And would recommend on a sale

    After a very uninspiring introduction sequence the game opens up into an open world setting similar to borderlands/Assassin's Creed with many points of interest. General gameplay is pretty good.

    It's definitely lost something from the original Rage. The FPS gameplay isn't as tight, and the settings aren't as eerily beautiful and apocalyptic. Everything from encounter design to the characters and the story are fairly generic. The game engine is slow and clunky, especially the character menu. It sometimes takes 5-7 seconds to switch between your menu tabs. It almost feels like it's timing out. There's still fun to be had here.    … Expand

I absolutely loved it. The vehicles are really cool and you can steal and drive anyone you want. You get a flying vehicle, motorcycles, two tanks and other vehicles. I thought this was cool. Your personal vehicle is armored and you can upgrade the heck out of it. Your weapons are really good and fun to use. It's an open-world style and you have tons of stuff to get into , it is a very long playing game. It's kind of snarky like how Borderlands was which makes it fun. The only thing that they do need to work on is maybe adding a team-mate in the sequel. You almost get teammates but they don't get to ride with you or do anything with you. If you choose to go down that path as a game creator, please make sure you give the teammates a lot of verbiage so their conversations don't become monotony like most video games. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised with this game. Most game creators these days are like lemmings , if one gets a stupid idea everyone else follows suit and puts as much dumb stuff in a video game as they can which becomes agonizing and restrictive. They went around the status quo and added as much fun in this game as they could. Good job! I intend to buy more of your products. … Expand

    On the visual side, the game is not particularly impressive. And the only difference when upgrading to PS4 Pro seemed to be better framerate.

    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.
