Since we took our first steps in Avalanche Studios' post-apocalypse, we have had a hard time putting the control aside. The combination of an open world, mutant freaks and super powers is too entertaining, actually far above our expectations. Along with the eminent control and the dynamic battles, it makes Rage 2 one of the year's most addictive titles to date.
I have to say that RAGE 2 is absolutely an improvement over its predecessor but there is still room for improvement. From a gameplay perspective, the combat is on point for both the in and out of car experiences. Specific landmarks within the world are a joy to experience, but it seems like a good portion of the open world suffers from being too lifeless and the plot suffers from being too inconsequential to the overall context of the game. RAGE 2 is nearly there, but the environments could have benefited from a bit of condensing to breathe a bit more variety and a little less wasteland into them. Oh and as a parting note, crank the difficulty up when you start the game to get the most out of the combat experiences.

+ Mechanics, sandbox, the implementation of shooting and movements, a huge number of unlockable perks, skills and abilities, weapons, craft, replay value
+ Smart opponents: running, jumping, bouncing off walls, tumbling, dodging bullets, using various abilities and types of weapons, acting in groups and individually, trying to get around behind
+ A large, open post-apocalyptic world (absolutely seamless!) With various locations: scorched lands, deserts, swamp swamps, mountains, overgrown jungle, canyons, dungeons, sewers, cities, bunkers, caves, dumps
+ Awesome post-apocalypse atmosphere with powerful cyber punk influence. Gorgeous graphics and elaboration of the environment, and of course incredibly beautiful sky-boxes
+ Many authentic characters, both plot and random, that tell interesting stories and give tasks, traders, mechanics, informants, cyber surgeons
+ An interesting, but unpretentious main plot with non-linear quests (for 8-12 hours of play), plus a huge number of audio recordings and diaries found around the world that detail the ENT games
+ Extensive and detailed world building. Each part of the location, whether it is an abandoned factory, or a village, a building, or a settlement, a trading city or an underground laboratory, a research station or base - everything in the game is hand-made, well-designed and never repeats.
+ A lot of vehicles, cars, buggies, motorcycles, boats, flying hover-bikes, tanks, with unique weapons. The main car of the protagonist, with a talking AI, and opening perks and weapons.
+ A huge number of various action events at locations, there is always something to do (for 45-70 hours of the game): story missions, side missions, random events, secret missions, boss bases, lair with mutants, shelters, puzzles, contracts, elimination targets, constantly changing convoys, columns, races, arena with battles, searching for arks, tablets, fallen rangers, chests, filtering, meteorites, eco-spheres, balloons
+ Very beautiful graphics, changing the time of day, sound, open world without downloads (in general)
+ Cheat mode. After completing the game, you can have fun, including various gameplay modifiers on the battlefield.
+ Developers have already announced a monthly updated end-game content, as well as two story DLC.
+ "New game +" mode with each new passage increases the level of prestige and complexity
+ Iron Man mode (permanent death)
+ Complexity "Ultra-Nightmare"
Findings:
If you are looking for some semblance of Fallout 4, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or even Far Cry: New Dawn - pass by and don’t over-rank the game and developers. All the sandbox elements of the game are involved around one main and fundamental gameplay mechanics - SHOOTING, PERKOV and COMBO-ACTION, this is what the whole game has to do, and not something else. It is foolish to expect from this game that which it should not be by definition. If you like shooters (DooM, Quake, Bulletstorm, Painkiller, Crysis), as well as open sandbox worlds (Mad Max, Just Case 3, Red Faction Guerrilla, Mercenaries 2) - definitely for a purchase!

In Rage 2, you move fast and kill faster. It's the synthesis between id Software's 2016 reboot of Doom and Avalanche Studios' Mad Max, bringing together some of the best ideas from both. Moment-to-moment play on foot is fantastic with each weapon and ability just opening up your options for destruction. Driving could be improved and it's a little on the shorter side, but Rage 2 is a damned good time.
Rage 2 could have been so much more. The gun action feels and looks awesome, but the world in which it all happens is just too flat and the story doesn't help either.
Exciting FPS mechanisms are accompanied by an inadequate open-world, a disappointing story and very short duration. RAGE 2 could be much better.
Rage 2 takes Doom-like gunplay and puts in just another dull open world game that doesn’t do anything particularly memorable.
Rage 2's brilliant shooting fails to make up for its shortcomings everywhere else. Because even though there's fun to be had in the Wasteland, the shooting fails to keep me wanting more after not too many hours of gameplay. And when that happens, the lackluster story, the shallow characters and the repetitive mission systems all reveal what a bland experience this really is.
I just finished the game and clocked roughly 20hrs and have explored quite a bit of the world. And i did play Rage 1 on Xbox 360. I really loved this game exactly for what it was, an open world FPS action game. I have seen many negative reviews online and am im quite saddened by seeing these. The amount of love and effort that went into this game is enormous. And it has so many cool things you can do when it comes to shooting and running and gunning. Also the vehicular combat is nicely done. i honestly dont understand the hate. I feel like this game has been review bombed for no good reason and i dont understand the people that do this. If this is your way of punishing a publisher think again, all you'll accomplish is less games being produced and a smaller chance of getting what you want as a gamer. TBH i can understand outrage about things, like EA or Anthem or stuff like that. But Avalache hasnt deserverd any of this. And this is just a really really good game. Everything that is said about the open world being bland and empty is just not true, this has to be the most gorgeous open world ive seen and there is allot to explore. If your idea of exploring is getting lost in sidequest 535 for an hour then yea maybe this game is not for you, but there is definitly allot of exploration to be done none the less. There are meaningfull sidequest or camps to clear for upgrades etc. Unlocking vehicles, guns, gameplay mechanics etc. The story is actually quite good for what it is trying to archieve. I wont go in story plots here but all i want to say is that yes there might be cheesy moments in dialogue but the plot line is not bad or anything. Its just straight forward and serves its purpose. Also if you as a gamer really like deep narrative driven story lines and player choices like fallout 4 then maybe this game isnt for you. That said, this doesnt mean there is no immersion and this game isnt an RPG! You can litterly almost upgrade anything and everything and there are enough small tidbits and sidequests to be found if you are more into the backstory. Also there a different factions that live and roam in this world and they are just nicely done i think. And throughout the game you get to explore how they all tie together. All in all just a very good open world FPS action game. If anyone tell's you otherwise that person either doesnt like FPS games or is just trolling you. If you are slightly into games that evolve around shooting your way out of things then this is a must to have played. Also for the people complaining about short story line, im pretty satisfied after i finished it. Sure i could have played another three big quests but the amount of detail and action you get in the base game is more then plentifull. Also there is a replayability factor bc the way you upgrade your weapons is uniquely chosen by the player. And if you reaally cant get enough of this content bc its too short, why would you review bomb. Thats like the surest way or guaranteeing nothing of this game gets produced anymore. And also there is the DLC, too expensive, well get it on a sell you winey. Anyways thats my two cents. I just was just shocked to see such a low review bombed score vs what i experienced as i played the game.
TLDR: Great game dont read any review other then IGN or destructiod bc they same to understand. And stay the hell away from the cesspool review bombs found nearly everywhere online and most of all dont read anything kotaku had the say about this game, bc thats just comedy and straight up rediculous.

Game just boring and short. Very short. There are only 5 quests and you can beat it under 6 hours, and there is nothing left to do. Every sidequests location is copy of previous one.
Yes, gunplay is nice, and pretty various, but honestly i used only two guns and never used special abilities on hard difficulty. Ofc you can use abolities but it's kind of pointless.
Besides of main quest it just a driving to point on map, shot, loot, repeat. But why someone wants to spend time on this boring routine? Game give no prize for exploring and looting, yes you get crafting materials, ability points etc, but you don't need non of these things to beat the game.
If Rage 2 was a linear shooter it be fine. But if we talking about open world, exploring game, for if so Rage 2 boring, pointless and doesn't worth time spending.

Summary Dive headfirst into a dystopian world devoid of society, law, and order. RAGE 2 brings together two studio powerhouses Avalanche Studios, masters of open world insanity, and id Software, the gods of the first-person shooter to deliver a carnival of carnage where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything. THE LAST RAN...
