SeekerRage 2
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. Combined with a steady stream of great weapons, abilities, and upgrades, its firefights are constantly reinvigorated even as mission objectives become repetitive.

Bethesda’s Rage 2 has the action of Doom, the structure of Far Cry, and the setting of Mad Max, making it great, mindless shooter fun.

Rage 2’s slick gunplay, entertaining powers and mad characters make the journey fun from start to end, even if its side-missions and open-world suffer from traditional tropes.

Rage 2 is ultimately a letdown thanks to its lacklustre open-world and needless filler, but some of the finest FPS gameplay we've seen this year saves it and then some.
