Rage 2

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.

If you are looking for a game with great depth and character development, then this is DEFINITELY not the game for you. If you are looking for a game where you can be crazy and blow stuff up in cool environments then this might be something worth checking out. Borderlands meets doom.

Rage 2 is certainly a fun game to play with excellent combat and a beautiful world to explore. Specifically the weapons and abilities are a tone of fun to use and there is enough variation between in order to always be interesting. Now the world is separated between 5 different biomes with different environments like dessert,forest and canyon you are tasked to explore this world in order to upgrade your character and progress through the story. There is a mediocre varity of activities to do like clearing bandit dens,destroing convoys clearing mutants nests and more. The story isn't particularly interesting the characters lack of depth and it's pretty much serves as an excuse to start your journey also the side quests are pretty basics consisting of clearing a specific activity like those mentioned above. To conclude this game isn't for people who look for a captivating story and interestimg characters is for people who want an action packed game filled with activities to complete and an awesome combat system to dive in

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

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.
