RAGE 2
RAGE 2 brings together two studio powerhouses – Avalanche Studios, masters of open world insanity, and id Software, creators of the first-person shooter – to deliver a carnival of carnage where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything. An asteroid has annihilated 80% of the earth’s population and humanity’s numbers are dwindling. Ruthless and bloodthirsty gangs roam the open roads and the tyrannical Authority seek to rule with an iron fist. As Walker, the last Ranger of the wasteland and a threat to their power, you have been robbed of your home and left for dead. Now you’ll have to rage for justice and freedom. With ludicrous vehicle combat, super-powered first-person mayhem, and an open world full of emergent madness, you will tear across an unforgiving wasteland battling sadistic gangs to find the tools and tech needed to crush the oppressive rule of The Authority once and for all.

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.

This game got bombed because of the open world, everything about this game is on par or better than anything that released back then. The open world ruined it, there is nothing but empty wasteland and nothing to explore. Its just a pain that didn't need to exist, its there only to tick a box.
If this was a linear game it could be GOTY material the gunplay is actually insane.

Lacks substance but I had a great time.
The combat of Doom with Cyberpunk upgrades in a Borderlands meets Max Max (game) world.

Coming directly from RAGE, well... They're two different games. Completely. RAGE was a decently well-paced, linear shooter with some very mild exploration. RAGE 2 is an open world driving and shooting game with a poorly written story but in general- not in all aspects, though- better gunplay. Driving is worse. TLDR; don't play this as a sequel to RAGE- play it as DOOM's weird cousin.

It's 2025 and I can say it's a pretty good game that was overhated.If you look what garbage we have to play these days this is a gem

I enjoyed the first Rage game, so that might be flavoring this review.
Rage 2 is a strange game. It's like "Doom Cry" (Doom and Far Cry), but there is something missing. The shooting feels good...but only with a handful of weapons (shotgun and rocket launcher were my go-to's). The other weapons are just kind of boring. There is a big open-world map to explore, but there is not really anything interesting to explore on the map. Every mission and every location is just "kill everyone and collect some supplies." They are trying to make the NPC's like Mad Max characters, but that also feels off. Finally, there is very limited enemy variety.
So, why am I giving this a positive review? The powers that you unlock are a lot of fun to use, and make you feel like a god, flinging enemies around.

For All the hate this game gets I really enjoy it. It is very Formulaic and can be repetitive in parts but it's a great first person shooter to turn your brain off and go destroy wasteland goons for awhile. It's not game of the year but that doesn't mean it's not some good Temporary fun.
