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
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.
So much of this promising collaboration between id and Avalanche is unremarkable - but it's salvaged by bloody, brilliant combat.
Some of the best first-person shooting on PC, but the rest of the game struggles to keep up with it.
Rage 2's moment-to-moment combat is outstanding, making it shine among open-world first-person shooters.
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
The wild, exceptional combat of Rage 2 contends with some of the genre's greats, but it's disappointing that the game's world squanders its potential.
Bethesda Softworks has done great work reinvigorating its library of IPs over the past few years.
