    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.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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 decent open world shooter. I felt the game was too short. The game didn't give you much reason to explore.

    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.

    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

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

    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

    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

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

    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

    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.

    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.
