Expand Extremely mediocre so far... In fact I would say it borders on being bad. Combat is fun at times but the enemy roster is extremely samey and not very interesting. Overall the game just lacks any of the charm and style of the first game and feels a lot more shallow and hollow. I would say in fact it ends up feeling like just another open world game with no originality at all. I do have a lot more to get into so I'll let you know when I'm writing my full review of it.

Expand that is disappointing to hear. Given the games you enjoy, I feel like I can trust your opinion on this one :/ Def let me know when you have that review up.

Alyxx Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Has some really bad driving controls and the PC port has extremely clunky interface controls. Oh and I hope you enjoy popups that pause the game for you and force you to stare at them for a whole minute cause the game has a lot of them.

Expand I've been saying it for the longest while that Bethesda no longer has it in them to create a great game - It's always the modding community that extends the lifetime of their games. Otherwise, most people would move on from their games within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it kinda doesn't really feel like it even has its own identity. When they described it as a mix of Mad Max and Doom that is literally what it is. It doesn't do any unique spin on it, it just takes elements from Rage, Mad Max and Doom and mixes them together. Sure all of those individual elements are fun but it ends up making Rage 2 this weird amalgation of elements from other games without doing anything unique. Say what you want about Bethesda games but they are at least fun to play (with the exception of Fallout 76 notably), but Rage 2 is just kind of boring in my opinion. I'll get into more detail about Rage 2 in my review of it but saying it's disappointing cause it's a Bethesda game is just kind of weird imo when Bethesda is only publishing it.

Expand Doom Eternal looks pretty nice though and it is set to be launched in November so I can't wait. I'll be looking forward to your review btw.

skyfire Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Alyxx has written an excellent review. And though it's a good gameplay that I have checked on youtube. I can'g get myself to play the game. I think any game similar to mad max is kind of turn off for me these days. Alyxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
