Ярость 2 Обзор

Rage 2 doesn’t waste any time throwing you into the game. You’ll find yourself in a sci-fi looking base that is being destroyed, told to pick a weapon, and shoved outside where mutants are attacking. 

You play as Walker, a survivor at this outpost, and eventually, after watching another Ranger die right in front of you, you’ll become a Ranger yourself. As the battle unfolds, Prowley, the woman who raised you and the leader of the Rangers, will be killed the General Cross, the man who leads Authority (the game’s bad guys). Walker, upset over Prowley’s death, is dedicated to finishing what Prowley started. You’ll set out across the wasteland to gain the trust and help of John Marshall, Loosum Hagar, and Doctor Kvasir to take down Cross for good.

This is all fine, but the way things are presented that feels so flat. There’s no time for you to care about anyone that dies, and Prowley is presented as a character with no other purpose than to launch Walker into the Ranger role. The dialogue between characters always feels forced and stilted, if not just outright stupid. The world itself also feels poorly developed, like someone took two stories and tried to smash them together―and didn’t do it well. One is the sci-fi setting of the base and the idea of these mutants, and the other is a Mad-Max, desert world with outposts. 

Overall, there’s nothing about the beginning of the game that feels original or interesting. It didn’t help that after the initial action sequence you’re put into a room where you’re forced to listen to Prowley’s hologram for what feels like half an hour. Games like Rage 2 should be focused on the one thing they might actually do well: the gameplay. But instead, Rage 2 attempted to take itself too seriously with regarding its plot, presenting loads of details it’s hard to care about and trying to build an emotional background for the game’s main character which falls completely flat.

In our opinion, graphics was the one thing that Rage 2 did right. At the highest settings, Rage 2 looks amazing. The landscapes could be real, considering the detail, and even when one is driving around, it’s hard not to crash into things because you’re too busy taking in the horizon and its details. While driving, Rage 2 has an added motion blur, which can be turned off and on and the game’s settings, and you can also widen your field of view. These are a few nice details that also give Rage 2’s world richness. 

But while the landscapes are beautiful, the Wasteland bases you’ll come across in your adventures are pretty generic. They look like a cross between the outposts from Far Cry New Dawn and those from Borderlands 2―with the strange detail of mannequins placed in odd locations (where did these bandits get all the random mannequins?). The graphics in Rage 2 or strong, but they can’t make up for all the other problems with the game.

Rage 2 costs the standard new release price of $59.99, but there are already quite a few significant sales and price cuts. Depending on the price, it might be worth it, but the truth is, there are other games that you’d be better off spending that money on. The thing is, Rage 2 probably could have been worth all of it if the developers had added a co-op mode like so many people were hoping for, but they didn’t, claiming the game had enough to offer without it. Overall, Rage 2 just isn’t worth it unless you can find it on sale.
