Rage 2 Review

For a long time, it looked as if we would never get a Rage 2. The announcement of the sequel, released in May 2019, certainly took many by surprise. The original Rage (2011) struggled for an identity in the sea of monochrome first-person shooters that flooded the market at the dawn of the decade.

However, with eight years of hindsight, Bethesda has given the IP to a new studio (Avalanche). As a result, Rage 2 is not lacking in personality. The neon diesel punk aesthetic breathes life into the game’s world through eye-catching visuals and whacky dialogue.

Furthermore, the fast-paced shooting mechanics ensure that the open world gameplay maintains a frenetic pace. I just wish Avalanche Studios had paid more attention to the technical issues that plagued my journey across the wasteland.
