    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

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

    Playing on PS4 Pro:

    I'm genuinely surprised this game is getting such low reviews. Somehow games like CoD, Division, Battlefield get major passes despite having no story, overly re-used assets from the previous game and bring nothing new to the table. I think I've put somewhere around 10-15 hours into this game and I've enjoyed every bit of it. This is coming from someone who is    Playing on PS4 Pro:

    Graphics do not look bad, at all. I can see how maybe the base ps4 (ps poor, block yourself if you find yourself triggered) will look, similar to the last Rage, but no complaints on PS4 Pro.

    Gameplay, seems to have a lot more going for it this time around than the previous entry. Tons of new upgrades.

    If you liked Rage 1 or any borderlands game you SHOULD like this game. If you're one of those types that only finds a shooter fun if you can play online then you may unjustifiably rate this game lower due to that.

    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 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.

On PS4 Pro you can play at 60 fps and even though it's locked at 1080p, the world looks cool and it incentivizes the player to explore.

    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.

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

    •blurry image like its an early ps3 game
    •graphics from first rage
    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 )

    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.
