Rage 2

Game is a blast - weapons upgrades ability upgrades vehicle upgrades and garage and open world and convoy busting and really everything is fun in this game.

I cannot disincentivize the game for what it does well. The game is a high flying shooter with excellent build components and satisfying combat.

If that's okay by you, this game delivers.

They did away with most of the racing elements, making it more optional. The first race, though was mandatory. If you are like me, you will grit your teeth through it and never touch it again.

Most of the characters in this game are more over the top than they were in the first. When you create such bombastic personalities, one detaches from association with them and the story and motive to play the story suffers. Even Borderlands didn't go this far.

The villain was simply a sadistic jerk who wanted to recreate the species - though the reason why was never quantified. In reaction to Rage 1's "Why should I hate the Authority!?", Rage 2 went all the way the other side and created a stick figure rather than a being with a logical train of thought.

ID games has never been big on story and their games have all suffered for it. I would rather no story than the stuff they continuously deliver. Would I start the game as a marine with a pistol and fill in the blanks or Satan's nightmare (and where do you go from there!?!?). The thing is, without believable story content in any game, you might as well be playing tiddlywinks in a sandbox.

I'll admit the game is glitchy , but it's really fun , the guns are sweet and vehicles are awesome !!!

I like the game he is fun to play, but I also liked the first game, I love it's a open world game (wish Doom 2016 was also), it has a OK story, end is a little bit a let down, also way to easy, but you have MANY good side quests, with a LOT to explore, if you explore everything and do all the side quests you easily do more then 25 over it, a bit longer than Rage 1, a pity most bosses looked the same, but is not bad hhh enough to not want to play the game more, the Apocalyptic world is great and feels a lot of times like Fallout 3 and 4, but with much better graphics, a lot enemies and monsters, great bunch of cars, a pity you can only upgrade one car the rest you can steel and then own you cannot upgrade, you really need a car in this game, its a big world, love all the different parts in the world, love the rainforest part looks VERY good.

Yes would recommend this game.

Rage 1 was an abomination. Not in the 'Oh my god it's so bad' way, but in the 'so boring and bad nobody paid attention to it' aspect. Rage 2 said hey, you can't ignore me if I'm just meaningless destructive fun can you? Think of Rage 2 as an open world version of the new Doom game of 2016. You run around, blowing up as much stuff as possible and causing havoc and destruction anywhere you can. And, surprisingly, it is a decent amount of fun. The rest of the game can be taken with a grain of salt, with bland characters, story, and everything else. But the murdering is fun.
