Played Rage 2 in 2021 on Xbox series S. The combat in Rage is amazing, and graphics look good, at times borderline great. However, for me, the downsides are a dead feeling world. Weird rant for a post-apocalyptic game, but it’s more about the game feeling hollow. Characters aren’t memorable or likeable.

I never felt any rage while playing Rage 2. Excitement from thrilling gunfights? Yes. The joy of unlocking a great new ability that changed the way I move or fight in interesting ways? Definitely. A small touch of tedium from repetitive “kill everything” missions and a relatively lifeless open world? Sure – but no actual rage. Regardless, I haven’t played a single-player shooter this energetic and satisfying in its moment-to-moment action since 2016’s Doom; it’s clear that developers Avalanche and id transplanted some of that game’s successes into this large-scale shooter, making its action feel markedly different from and more vibrant than a Far Cry or Borderlands game.
Rage 2 picks up the story of the 2011 original, brushes off seven years of accumulated dust, and declares it still good under the Five-Second Rule. You definitely don’t need to have played Rage to understand the simple concept of a future Earth where an asteroid impact destroyed just about everything that wasn’t sheltered underground in Arks, which are basically Fallout’s vaults (without the sadistic experiments). Now Mad Max-style raiders run rampant and a techno-fascist group called The Authority is trying to kill or subjugate everything in sight – the connections to the events of Rage are thin and distant enough that Rage 2 is effectively a soft reboot.
With its large open world and vast array of upgrades to earn, Rage 2 feels very much like an antidote for Far Cry fans who have overdosed on that particular style and want a new take on the large-scale shooter-RPG idea. Though Avalanche hasn’t quite figured out what makes a world feel alive and dynamic or how to make good use of its vehicles, it ab...

May 13, 2019 · 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.
Rage received mainly positive reviews, with reviewers praising the game's combat mechanics, gameplay and graphics while criticizing the lack of story, characters, and direction. A sequel, Rage 2, was released on May 14, 2019.
