Dive headfirst into a dystopian world devoid of society, law, and order. 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.
Features:
* Welcome to the Shooterverse: id Software’s shooter pedigree and Avalanche Studios’ open world prowess is dream-team-made-real for Rage 2. It’s more than a shooter, more than an open world game - it’s a shooterverse.
* The Wasteland Awaits: Seamlessly traverse a vast and varied landscape, from lush jungles and treacherous swamps to sun-scorched deserts in your pursuit of The Authority. The wasteland is massive, and you’ve got the arsenal to fight for every inch.
* Pedal to the Metal: From monster trucks to gyrocopters, use an assortment of rugged and wasteland-ready vehicles to speed across the badlands. If you see it, you can drive it.
* The Last Ranger: Bring the pain using a collection of upgradable weapons, devastating Nanotrite powers, and Overdrive, the ability to push your guns beyond their mechanical limits.
* Factions & Foes: Fight against ferocious factions for control of the wasteland, each featuring a rogue’s gallery of madmen, mutants, and monsters hungry for blood.

IGN: 8/10
"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 absolutely nails the moment-to-moment combat thanks to a Doom-inspired energetic pace that few shooters manage to pull off."
GamesRadar+: 3/5
"Rage 2's core combat feels so much like Doom in an open world, and it wouldn't surprise me if that's exactly what this was - developer id Software testing the waters for such a concept. But were that concept ever to be made real, it will need to be executed much better than this. The "Rage 2 roadmap" has already been revealed, showcasing world events and "wasteland challenges" in an effort to follow in the footsteps of successful games like Destiny 2 and The Division 2, but the difference is that this is a single player game. Anyone who purchases this game on launch is undoubtedly expecting a full release...sadly, that isn't the case and the result is a sequel hasn't impressed me all that much at all, but it won't be laid to rest until the roadmpa comes to a close for a game many people will have grown bored of."
GameSpot: 6/10
"Rage 2 is at its best when you're given the chance to keep up a gratifying momentum in combat, but struggles to setup the scenarios its combat deserves. It's satisfying in the way clearing out an open-world checklist is, especially because powers are such a joy to use. The disappointment comes from the fact that those activities are rudimentary in nature and the decent ones end well before you get your fill."
Game Informer: 7/10
"For all of its attempts at garish glitter, Rage 2 is a muted, clichéd, and uninspiring experience propped up by spectacular shooting and neverending battles that sometimes live up to the promise of a carnival of carnage."
Preloaded it digital instead so should be playing in a few hours
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
