RAGE 2 Reviews

Overall, it is an OK game and much better than it's predecessor but it keeps too many of the bland aspects of the previous Rage game. The open world is much more vibrant and fun to explore, each zone feels different with unique style and landscape. Enemy camps and mutent warrens are well crafted and offer different ways of approach. Driving is also a big step forward, controls are much more smooth and vehicular combat is fun, challanging and feels much more meaningful. Gun play and combat also takes a step forward, guns are much more fun with great level of customizability, great handling and large variety. The new powers you get to mess around with during combat are a nice addition to the general chaos of the game. Enemies are still bland and fighting them starts getting really boring as you progress in the campaign. Although there is more variety, the enemy AI is very basic and offers little challange. Boss fights are still a big disappointing meh... Missions and open world activities are a hit and miss, some are fun and offer some challange but many feel like a chore to pull off for a minor reward at best. The campaign is barely able to keep itself relevant and story missions are usually very boring and tedious. The DLC's are much more fun and challanging but they feel very pricey for the amount of content they offer. Technically the game runs smooth with some minor hiccups with graphics but that can be resolved by messing around with Vsync and monitor refresh rate. I did get a single random crashes but overall the game was very stable throughtout the entire campaign. Visually Rage2 looks great, the world looks amazing and character animations feel fluid and natural. Explosions and special effects from powers and guns look fun and add to the chaotic atmosphere of the combat. Soundtrack is ok and gets the job done but character dialogue sounds very amateurish, as if recorded by very tired actors which causes the story briefings to lose all interest for the player. Bottom line, the game is a solid 6.5/10, it has it's issues but there is some fun times to be found here. Get it on sale if you are looking for an open world Farcry style slop for the weekend.

Pretty fun game. Reminds me of Borderlands (without the humor) or Mad Max.

The issue with Rage 2 its an open world checklist game. practiclly all the quests are all the same. go here clear out this area. also the writing both the first game and this sequel have villains called the authority. seriously its that stupid. protaginist is dull too. combat is fun. thats about it.

RAGE 2 is basically what you’d get if Mad Max and DOOM had a baby. The story’s whatever, but that’s not what you’re here for. You’re here to kill mutants, clear outposts, and cruise the wasteland in cool, upgradeable rides. Combat feels great with a bunch of awesome weapons, and the visuals are very decent. I'm running it at 1440p on a laptop with an RTX 3050 with 120fps with no issues. 10/10 recommend if you’re into fast action, cool gear, and open world mayhem.

This game is what Cyberpunk should have felt like. Everything is awesome. I give it a "NO" because of bullet-sponge bosses which i have to re-do and that is no fun at all, and it just blocks me to continue the game and enjoy it. It feels like developers just want to NOT let me enjoy the product i bought, and i hate when they do stuff like this to games. You find a game you like, you play, you immerse and then its "wanna continue? nope... do this 20 times, ruin your evening and MAAAAYBE then...".

TLDR; Its a Mad Max cross Biomutant amalgam with all the negatives and basically none of the positives. You'd expect a game with such bisexual color to be in the slightest bit quirky but its the most generic open world shooter to ever exist. Sure it looks nice at times, but the bright pink and cyan will give you a headache and a lot of the time you'll get flashbanged by the lens-aberration. The story and cast are super forgettable, the dialogue is almost always condescending towards the player and the times it isn't, its overtly in praise. The first person you meet during an intense firefight makes cutesy quips as her friends die around her, super weird and out of character. Rage 2 will crash at least once every hour, this is mostly from the spy drones being activated so avoid those like the plague. The combat is fine for maybe the first hour but it becomes so incredibly boring and easy, even on the highest difficulty! Biggest threat is gravity because when you fall a certain distance, even if you are able to survive it, it will pull you into an instant death animation, same with vehicles, some will allow you to eject whilst others are just rolling coffins. DLC is a crime. DO NOT BUY THE DLC. In the first DLC you get an island with exactly the same side objectives but the enemies are blue, that's IT. The second DLC is an arena mode; kill some enemies, go up a tower, kill some more enemies and kill a recycled boss 5 times. Now do THAT 5 MORE TIMES, and that's the DLC. Blacklist whoever thought this abysmal dogsh*t is worth $5. Though the convoy battles are pretty basic, the back and forth weakspot attacks are neat and a bit of fun. GG

Wrote this after 4 beers. The story is pretty useless, but after playing for a while, I still got hooked—especially when I switched from Easy to Ultra Nightmare and started dying from one hit by any peasant. The skill mechanics are really fun, but there are way too many useless weapons that do zero damage to bosses on Ultra Nightmare... and they're basically irrelevant at that difficulty. Also, way too many side quests—they get super repetitive over time. But in the end, it was a nice journey. I'd rate it a 7/10.

The graphics are ok, when they're not massively glitching out Sometimes you can get stuck in a death/respawn loop and loose all your progress The auto drive will send you off a cliff the 'upgrade' genetic doc is broken and will kill you Even for bethesda this game is kind of a mess, it came out in 2019 and they still haven't manged to fix the game breaking bugs, it's an astounding heaping pile of flaming sh. . . The story line is cool though, but that's it's only redeeming quality since you'll be stuck starting over multiple times due to the game breaking bugs. So, it's not worth paying for, since it honestly can't even be played.

A great shooter if you can get it for like $30. Tight gameplay. Stupid writing.

TLDR: This game is criminally underrated. It's fun. If you're looking for a fun VIDEO GAME where you drive/run around and shoot stuff with exploration then look no further. If you're looking for a deep story go play Last of Us or Detroit or something. If you're looking for a copy of Rage 1, go play Rage 1. Stop blaming this game because you wanna play not this game. Go play the game you wanna play then. Developers do different things, they get hate. Developers do the same things, they get hate. Say goodbye to the Rage franchise. They couldn't achieve your wild expectations and now publishers will never risk another dime on this so far unique and awesome franchise. This goes for so many franchises. Stop comparing crap to other crap and learn to enjoy things for what it is. "It's like Borderlands made by Ubisoft" yea and Spyro is Crash Bandicoot made by Insomniac. You whiny perfection hunting gamers are the problem. Not the publishers. Y'all have the publishers hunting perfection and firing anyone who can't deliver it because YOU guys only accept and pay and rate good for perfection. This game (and so many others) does not deserve a mixed rating. Now this franchise is dead because y'all compared it to death instead of taking it for what it was, and then will turn around and complain how all games are the same.
