Outstanding Shooter Combat
Boring, Grindy Campaign
Dull World
Early reviews seem to have a consistent theme: RAGE 2's combat is great, perhaps even best-in-class. Unfortunately, it's hindered by its campaign, characters, and world.

Critic Reviews for Rage 2
So much of this promising collaboration between id and Avalanche is unremarkable - but it's salvaged by bloody, brilliant combat.
Rage 2 delivers over-the-top, action-packed FPS gameplay that's genuinely fun, but while its combat shines, the rest of the game fails to live up to expectations.
Rage 2's moment-to-moment combat is outstanding, making it shine among open-world first-person shooters.
Some of the best first-person shooting on PC, but the rest of the game struggles to keep up with it.
As a first person shooter, Rage 2 has some of the best action of the year but as an open world adventure it squanders everything on a listless story campaign and banal mission design.
Rage 2 has a fun core gameplay loop, but everything around it falls flat on its face
Rage 2 fails to deliver any interesting characters, environments, or activities. Solid shooting and cool weapons lift up the other elements of this title
