Rage 2 is a sequel absolutely none asked for, to the first Rage game, that was released in 2010!
The first Rage was an ambitious but low-badget effort, for a low-badget Doom-like game, with Mad Max-y elements. You were an Ark survivor and had to survive in the wasteland that was now the world, after the apocalypse. The story was nowhere to be found, until you choose to fight with the resistence against the Authority. The ending was poor at least and extremely cliffhangerish.
In Rage 2 we are 30 years after the finale of the first Rage and Authority is back with a vengeance. They have kept all the good elements of Rage and enrichened them with loans from Borderlands, giving an unbelievably enjoyable ride. The story is again average and the ending a bit poor, but at least satisfactory. The best element is the open world and the far better driving mechanics, that gave me personally what I was expecting from Far Cry New Dawn, but was disappointed. A mindless and violent game with fast pacing.
