RAGE

Very good game. Missions are diverse. Good weapons (various ammo types) and combat mechanics. Addictive.

Sparatutto davvero coinvolgente che riesce a distinguersi grazie a un mix ben bilanciato di azione frenetica e ambientazione post-apocalittica. Il gunplay è uno dei suoi punti di forza: le armi sono varie, soddisfacenti e ben progettate, rendendo ogni scontro dinamico e divertente. L’ambientazione è spettacolare, con scenari desertici dettagliati e un mondo che trasmette perfettamente il senso di desolazione e pericolo. Anche se non è completamente open world, il gioco offre comunque una buona libertà di esplorazione e molte attività secondarie che arricchiscono l’esperienza. Nel complesso, Rage è un titolo che consiglio soprattutto agli amanti degli FPS veloci e ben rifiniti, con un’ottima atmosfera e un gameplay appagante.

A very, very forgettable game. Nothing about it will stick in anyone's mind. The shooting did feel kind of satisfying, but it was not enough.

Yeah, the game is from 2011—that’s not the issue—but whenever you move the mouse to look around or aim, there are these little stutters that are so annoying they completely put you off playing. The intent was there, but the developers just didn't follow through. It’s wild that things were the same back then as they are today. I wonder how RAGE 2 will perform.

Got back to this game for the nostalgia and was disappointed. Rage run with all sorts of technical issues, heavy stuttering, popping textures and random crashes. I had to tweak the game settings and mess around with config files to make it somehow manageable but the random crashes and texture pops still happened every now and then. Gameplay-wise, Rage is a very basic open world-ish first person shooter which seems very outdated when compated to other games that came out in 2011. The gun play is soild but the weapons are basic and boring. the various gadgets that you can use are nice but not enough to elevate the mediocre shooting. Enemy variety is very shallow, you fight some bandit clans which come in different flavours, boring mutents and some late game soldiers that offer some challange but they are barely in the game to be enjoyable. Boss fights are meh... Driving in the game is a boring chore, the vehicle controls are stiff and vehicular combat offers no challange. The race events are underdeveloped to be any fun. The Scorchers DLC offers some new maps and enemies but it is the same slog as the base game in quality. Visually the game was very impressive when it came out, the character animations and enemy reactions are still very impressive and the graphics look spectacular when they are working as intended. But the world map looks barren and travelling across the open world map becomes boring very quickly. The smaller maps like enemy bases and towns look much better, with great attention to detail and level design. Maybe a remastered version could save this game, but for now you should stay away from it because of the technial instability, the boring plot, barebones gameplay and mediocre driving. Get it on sale if you really itching for a 2011 shooter experience.

Not the greatest post-apocalyptic, mutant-infested FPS, but a decent, above-average tech demo. The most important part, the shooting, feels impactful and shows that id still know how to make fun games, and combined with the way enemies convincingly react when getting shot, it makes the whole experience even better as the combat feels punchy and weighty. The vehicles control pretty well and are fun to drive around. The wasteland is decent to explore; there are some secrets to find, so it doesn't feel empty. On the other hand, the story's boring and forgettable; it's just there. There's no big finale; it just abruptly ends. Missions in general aren't very inspired and feel like filler. The open-world is not all that open, but at least it's not overtly expansive just for the sake of it; there are some sections to wander through, but exploration is pretty limited. Driving is nothing to write home about; it does its job, but it's not very interesting. It just doesn't do enough to differentiate from other post-apocalyptic wastelands like Borderlands or even Fallout; it's been there, done that, the game. Given its current price, I'd say RAGE's a decently fun time and worth picking up; just don't expect something groundbreaking.
