Description
Rage 2 for PC – styled with the anarchy symbol in place of the A – is a first-person shooter with a hefty and satisfying shotgun and wonderful range of weaponry so you can indulge your taste for screen gore in a most satisfying manner.
In a dystopia wasteland following a direct strike from an asteroid that has devastated the earth you are battling The Authority a band of mechanical mutants led by General Cross. There are also gangs of bandits, raiders and other bad guys to watch out for and destroy at the first opportunity.
You will play as Walker, a ranger that can be male or female, according to your preferences. Early in the game, you are guided to find the first Ark, a high-tech survival shelter built before the asteroid strike to ensure that some things and people at least would survive
The story line is pretty simple – you are the ‘good guy’, you need to find the bad guys and shoot or otherwise destroy them. Look out for more Arks along they way they hide excellent pieces of technology that will help you boost your weapons and tech capabilities.
For example, there is the Slam, which sends out a shockwave blast when you activate it near enemies sending them tumbling about from the concussion and allowing you to clean them up with little comeback. The higher you are when you deploy it, the more impressive the blast, so time it carefully so as to maximise this already powerful (and rather splattery!) weapon.
Slam is an ideal crowd-clearing weapon as you can be swamped with enemies at points in the game and this is a great way to blast them to smithereens and clear your path.
Shatter is another good power-up to find, allowing you to blast towards opponents in an energy surge that will destroy enemy armour and – if they are close enough – the enemies themselves.
The shotgun is amazing – offering such accurate power and authentic-seeming impact that your shoulder almost aches as though the stock of the rifle is socked tightly into it rather than you having just clicked a mouse button. But when you hold the right mouse button as you fire, the spread of the shot tightens and the impact increases even more, so you can almost hose your enemies away, clearing them out of your path brutally.
All weapons can be made more powerful when you have created enough chaos and mayhem to activate Overdrive mode, which is achieved by pressing the V key. It is not only weapons that benefit, regeneration times are shorter, powers are stronger and refills your health metre.
The map is quite small compared to some other games, which means that you can fairly easily reach all the outposts. There are three story arcs to choose from, or you can opt to go your own way, exploring and scavenging the wasteland on your own – always keeping an eye out for enemies, be they The Authority or gang members
Desert
Much of the terrain is post-apocalyptic desert with the accompanying miles of emptiness broken with Badlands-style geography, abandoned cities and, of course, subtle signs marking the position of the Arks.
Jungle
The jungle is satisfyingly dark and brooding with plenty of opportunities for menacing eyes and/ or lights to gleam out at you, both terrifying you and giving you a neat target to aim for before all hell breaks loose.
Arks
These storehouses of technology and valuables pop up almost anywhere, so keep your eyes peeled and make sure that you fully explore any that you do find.
Rage 2 for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

A solid shooter, reminds me of Doom 2016, overall fun and engaging combat . Graphics are very nice and the weapons give an amazing and immersive feeling. If you like shooters don't skip this one for it is miles better than Rage 1.
- Graphics
- Combat
- Guns
- Lots of backtracking
