    Rage 2 reminds me of a cross between the Avalanche Studios released Mad Max based on the films, which become a great game thanks in part to the gorgeous wasteland icreated for it with s splash of the borderlands series thrown in for good measure. I was expecting similarities in Mad Max because Rage is similarly inspired by Mad Max and created by the the same developer as Mad Max was.Rage 2 reminds me of a cross between the Avalanche Studios released Mad Max based on the films, which become a great game thanks in part to the gorgeous wasteland icreated for it with s splash of the borderlands series thrown in for good measure. I was expecting similarities in Mad Max because Rage is similarly inspired by Mad Max and created by the the same developer as Mad Max was. However Rage 2's world feels a little empty to me. There are a few gorgeous locations, and some nice differences in what’s there to traverse, but lacks somewhere in the quality I was expecting. I do like that it's a smaller, more detailed map rather than a giant, mostly empty space. The gunplay unfolds nice and chunky and weapons and diversity in the use of the skill trees available in the game are quite nice. Rage 2 will likely fill the hunger of any fan of the now franchise of Rage, but those like me who didn’t experience the 1st game or wasn’t a huge fan of the 1st game may still feel like they expected more overall. Don’t get me wrong Rage 2 get’s much more right than it get’s wrong but it didn’t live up to the ”hype” I was anticipating from what at many times is a beautiful smooth experience. In the end it get’s much more right than wrong and a despite my little complaints it’s a worthy addition to the Xbox One library. There’s so much to explore and no two play-throughs would unfold the same, so there is definitely something here for shooter fans of any sort.… Expand

    Rage 2 is a fun game until you are able to solidly upgrade you skills and powers and weapons, at which point it becomes a GREAT game. The lighting is amazing, the gamplay is a blast, there are some great physics in play if you pay attention, and the 60 fps on Xbox One X is rock solid.

    This is a great game.

    I've had nothing but fun. Good shooting feel, and as you progress, it works to Doom it and run around in bases and just keep moving while you wipe everybody out. Driving is fantastic (in the main car), and always fun. I want to power slide like this in real life. All of the open world locations are enjoyable (except for mutant bases), and I am only now starting to be ready to wrap the game up. I have done a LOT.

    Good movement and jumping, good power abilities (that you can use or not). Honestly, not much in the way of negatives for me. I skip the movie crap and just play, man. Great game. Probably an 8.5 for me. Tons to do. Great, huge open world, and good environment variations.

    I don't agree that it feels rushed. I think it feels pretty damn polished.    … Expand

    The Score is really a 7.5, but the the 10 is to fight with de angry crying reviewers.
    The Game has a fantastic gun play, a lot of areas to have fun making things explode an send people to the air.
    It lacks of narrative and story, and its a repetitive after 10 or 12 hours. But i can assure you, you will have fun, a lot of fun.

    Played on Xbox One X. I really hoped this looked like the game in the previews, it's not. It looks worse than Generation Zero. The graphics in the world are often missing HD textures, woeful pop in, bad draw distance errors. Missmatched lighting, weird shadows. The ID software Fire and Doomesque Baddies look out of place, (but good) The cars are lifted from Avalanches Mad Max. The voice acting is good, but completely forgetable and cliched. The gun models are nice, looks like Doom. Overall the game "looks like a 360 game", more than any other accused of this so far (looking at you Crackdown 3). I enjoyed Mad Max, Just Cause 3, the first 10 hours of Gen Zero.... but Rage 2 is a weird one. This looks like the basics of this game were crafted as a sequel for Rage in 2011 for last gen.... or.. it's some other game changed to be Rage 2 later, was this Mad Max 2 in development? It's fun, I don't know if i'll finish it or refund it, and, WTF it looks nothing like the previews.    … Expand

    Score is more of a 7 or maybe a 8 for me, giving it a 10 to fight its bad user score rating.

    Not sure why there is so much hate for Rage 2, the game offers everything it promised from the developer.

    The open world is fun to explore, I found a lot to do in the world and I enjoyed the general exploration because everything is seamlessly done (no loading screens). It has that Far Cry taste regarding to enemy camps and base locations.

    Gameplay is super fun for a shooter. Best to describe Rage 2 is that it is a blend of Bulletstorm, Doom & Mad Max (maybe a bit of Borderlands as well) but it does have its own unique style. If you like any of the above mentioned games, then you'll probably enjoy Rage 2 as well.

    The story is okay, nothing new or reinventing in terms of storytelling. It is the basic shoot-kick-reload formula with a bit of story, Rage 2 is mostly about gameplay and I'm okay with that. All though the little background datapads offers interesting stories and I do like Rage's universe and it sets itself apart from all the other post-apocalyptic games/movies.

    As for the minuses for me...

    Disappointed that the game doesn't have HDR for a world that is so vibrant in colours. I do understand that it doesn't have 4k or 1440p for the 60fps sacrifice for the One X. I hope they will release a update in the future for HDR, that will make the game a solid 8 for me. Not sure if PC version has HDR, but I'll most likely replay Rage 2 on my PC as well just for that 1440p unlocked fps experience.

    Another downside is that it feels like the game was made to please SJW's, even though the game is bloody gorey but the game does have a lot of female characters and most males are sexualised where the women aren't. Double standards much hey? Now I don't agree with sexualizing women in any format, but why did they even bother bringing sexual terms and characters if they didn't want to go all the way? Either or, Rage 2 has a lot of gender issues and I dislike it when modern politics play a part in my videogames. Just bring a option "SJW Friendly" in the game settings to please that 1% of our population.

    In general, Rage 2 is a game that I'll probably finish a couple of times and again in the future. There isn't anything like Rage 2 and I'm glad that it exists.    … Expand

    The driving is average and just serves to get you from A to B. I don't really do the driving mission because compared to the gun fighting, it is distinctly below par. Where Rage does succeed, and very well, is in the gun play department. The gun fights are excellent and can be very tense, however, ramp up that hardness if you want a challenge.

    The UI is surprisingly clunky, and overly complicated. It lacks smoothness and is just barely functional.
    The game is open world so you are free to chose your mission in the order you wish, which is great. however, most the mission are samey.

    Whilst I appreciate the standards of gaming is high, this isn't a bad game, were just spoilt for great games at the moment. Whilst elements of the game are excellent, the overall package is not perfect in my opinion. But if you want carnage this game is as good as any in that department.    … Expand

    Is the game perfect? Nope, not in the least. The vehicle controls can be a bit rough (here’s hoping there’s a patch coming to fix it), the open world can feel a bit empty (but then again not being bombarded every minute with some random encounter ala Red Dead Redemption 2 is nice), the story is meh much like the first game (but hey, DOOM 2016’s story was in the background and the DOOM Guy/DOOM Slayer only had one personality type, so if you can roll with that you can easily roll with this), and changing menus and moving the cursor on the map are a bit on the slow side (again like with vehicle controls hopefully this will be fixed with a patch).

    What does work? The gunplay, weapons, and abilities are f*cking excellent as everyone (save those idiot 0-bombers) agrees on! Leveling up/upgrades definitely help one feel like they are progressing from some Post-Post Apocalypse Scab to a literal Wasteland Superhero/God! And the variety of locals, biomes, and set pieces definitely make it look better than a majority of the post apocalypse games what with their various shades of drab browns and even more drab grays.

    So all in all a fun game that I guarantee you’ll be coming back to over and over again much like the Mad Max game (which too was crapped on by professional reviewers and the oddball 0-bomber).    … 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

Although Bethesda had nothing to do with the developement it is published by them so you expect bugs and it doesn't dissappoint with enemies stuck running into walls or thin air and you getting stuck in a car where the only option is saving and reloading plus you can expect ripoff dlc in the future. Graphics are not great but not bad either. Best weapon in game assault rifle, when do you get it ? right at the start so there is little point gathering other weapons or upgrading them. Vehicles, promo says if you can see it you can drive it, I've seen plenty of boats cant drive any so far, you start with the phoenix arguably the best land vehicle in game so really no point gathering others. Yes it's open world but as with nearly all open world games it just makes things easier and a bit of a drudge from one action spot to the next, searching for that last storage chest just so location shows as complete on map can be very frustrating where sometimes you think it's a lie and not there at all ( just a waste of your time ) This can be aided by spending a lot of perks in search & recover but unless you're going for 100% completion a bit pointless. This game is far from perfect and seems a bit rushed probably down to Bethesda forcing ID and Avalanche to release it to compensate them losing money on fallout 76 and whatever other garbage that company makes. If you go for the main questline right from the start you will miss much of the content and end up with a really short game. Sounds like I'm slating it but as FPS it's great fun but everything else around it is poor. The characters you meet are quickly forgettable to the point you will skip every conversation due to it just being painful to listen too.
    Anyway if you want a FPS then you will have a great time here, but if you're looking for a great open world game then this is not it, maybe replay a GTA game or Red Dead 2 as these are the definition of a great openworld game.    … Expand

    People giving this gaming a 0 or 1 are basically saying this game is unplayable (Fallout 76). The fun factor for this game is a 10 for me especially the combat. This game loses a point for its weak story and empty open world however I didn't buy this game for its story. I bought this game for its style and unique combat

    To me I am having a great time with the game the story could be better but the combat is amazing and for most people is a game to hold them over until borderlands 3 comes out and it does just that it is not a game to criticize for its story because the game wasn’t made to have a great story the game was made to just mess around I love the game and you should too

    A couple of bugs need to get fixed, but overall this is a game that is fun to shoot and blow up stuff. If you’re looking for a story this game isn’t it, but if you want to murder everything in a hundred different ways, this game is it.

    Better than I expected for sure!

    The story follows a trainee Ranger that is on a revenge rampage after his mentor is killed by a big half-robot monster. He has to buildup a relationship with various towns across the wasteland in order to assemble the parts for a bit of murdery vengeance.

    The main campaign wound up being a little bland, with none of the irreverence and humor that the trailers seemed to indicate. Not quite on the level with Borderlands or Saints Row, which seems like it would have really fit well with the everything else in the game.

    I really liked the various locations to explore through the story and beyond. It's really neat to be gunning down the different and unique bandit clans in a decrepit missile silo one minute and dealing with the spaceship-like labs of the Authority a few hours later. I'm usually a sucker for dystopian locations anyway, and it's done very well here.

    There are also various powers that you acquire through the game that were way more fun than I anticipated. Each power is mapped very intelligently in the controls so that you wind up using them as often as possible, as well as searching for upgrades to all of the favorites. Seeing how many enemies you can destroy with one shot was always fun.

    Even though the weapons were pretty standard, the shooting was perfectly done and every weapon was pretty fun to use. I did find myself sticking mostly to the Shotgun because of how fast the combat is, but it fits in to this type of game very well.

    As far as music and graphics go, both were exceptional. The voice acting was serviceable, with the exception of the main character who was irritatingly generic.

    The only negative that I found was the driving, the tank that is your main transportation controls a little stiffly. And the terrain is not really set up in a way that makes getting from one place to another very smooth. After completely upgrading the tank, I still had a bear of a time with any vehicle combat (convoys, etc.) because it was very difficult to stay on the road. Nobody feels cool accidentally driving off a cliff.

    After playing the main game on Game Pass, I decided to buy the game immediately (along with the DLC). Rise of the Ghosts is pretty good, having a whole new area to explore and a story line that held my interest, but the Halloween DLC was very disappointing. It was basically a set of challenge rooms that go way too long with very little story of any kind.    … Expand

    Finally playing this on Series X and I'm pleasantly surprised given the reviews on launch.

    Story and open world are just fine, but this one of the best feeling fps shooters I've ever played on console.

    My main complaints would be no minimap for small areas and travel. Both of these issues are overcome by unlocks. The gameplay itself is a whole lot of fun if a little short. It's also currently cheap as chips so definitely worth giving a shot.

    So many games nowadays are catered to people who play games 3+ hours a day. Too much to do, overwhelming bs, when I jsut want to come home from work and have some fun for 30 min to an hour. Open world but not overwhelming, combat is amazing, story is light. Very happy with this game.

    War zuerst skeptisch, ob's mir so gut gefällt wie Teil 1. Aber es ist ein sehr guter Nachfolger, wie Teil 1, nur mehr von allem...mehr und komplexere Verbesserungsmechaniken; bessere, lebendigere Welt; coole Waffen; sehr sehr gutes Gunplay;
    Die Weltkarte wird mit laufendem Spielfortschritt ein wenig überladen mit Icons, aber stört nach einer Weile nicht mehr und man kann die eh ausblenden    War zuerst skeptisch, ob's mir so gut gefällt wie Teil 1.

    O jogo se passa no futuro e em um cenário pós apocalíptico. Um jogo em que na minha opinião é bom, é o primeiro FPS Hack and Slash que já joguei, você vai conquistando habilidades novas em lugares chamados como arcas e essas habilidades podem ser muito úteis nas batalhas

    This game is fun as f*ck. Doom (2016) like fighting experience in a post apocalyptic Mad Max like environment with heapings of cyberpunk colorways everywhere. Do yourself a massive favour and checkout Rage 2.

Предварительный трейлер второй с геймплеем воодушевлял и игра практически сразу попала в мой список неотвратимых маст хэв покупок. После выхода Rage 2 пошла какая-то нездоровая волна хейта, что мол игра ни о чем. Упрекалась она во вторичности, ненасыщенности игрового мира и невразумительном сюжете, но при этом всё же многие отмечали круто сделанные перестрелки. Да, возможно Rage 2 это некий симбиоз Mad Max, Doom, Far Cry и Bulletstorm, а карта очень напомнила AC Origins, но скажите мне как часто выходят игры такого качества как Rage 2? Совсем нечасто и пусть она не изобретает велосипед, но это очень хороший навороченный велик. Да сюжет, пожалуй, коротковат и не сказать, чтобы он сильно интриговал, но в ворохе дел на забитой до отказа допами карте он уже становится чем-то побочным. А зачищать здесь территорию от вражеских банд безумно весело. Боёвка просто умопомрачительная и затягивает с головой! Помимо великолепного арсенала оружия наш герой обладает и определенными способностями вроде ударной волны сверху, сбоку, с колена; взрывного вихря и прочих ништяков, благодаря которым баталии становятся очень зрелищными и поистине адреналиновыми. Графика в игре отличная, игровой мир прекрасный и разнообразный. Перемещение на авто, вооруженном до зубов, между точками боевых действий происходит от третьего лица и тут конечно большой привет Mad Max. Всё до боли знакомо, хоть и сделано, как по мне получше визуально, в управлении же чуть потопорнее получилось. Погони за вражескими караванами настолько же увлекательны как и у Максимки. В итоге получаем, возможно, не самую новаторскую игру столетия, но точно один из лучших шутанов от первого лица в его классическом виде и с прекрасной картинкой!… Expand

    A mix of mad max+doom+far cry. Fun combat and good ambiance, it has its flaws, controls are bad but you can get used to it, the story is weak and the world is semi empty, but it fulfills the task of being a fun game and takes good hours of fun.

    A solid FPS that delivers on the shooting, but fails to provide much else worth doing. [Issue#179, p.75]

    With super-satisfying combat and an ever-growing arsenal of weapons, powers and abilities, Rage 2 is one of the best-feeling singleplayer shooters around. Its inconsistent tone, ho-hum story and uninspired open world missions keep if from achieving true greatness, but it never stops being a whole lot of fun in the moment.

    RAGE 2 is a game that is easy to recommend to people who like and are in search of good open world shooters. A masterpiece it is not, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth playing. Although it’s not as great as I was hoping, I enjoyed my time with this sequel and am glad that I played it. It might not be a masterpiece, but it’s a fun way to spend ten or twelve hours.
