There are like five currencies to keep in check, too many skilltrees that amount to nothing more than a reason to deviate from the videogame’s main path, and there is also the story mode, itself-written(?) dialogue, cutscenes, the whole shebang. And when the combat and gunplay do begin, Rage 2 becomes immensely enjoyable, but these moments are too fleeting and too much happens in the period between not shooting my big shotgun and shooting my big shotgun. And that is decidedly a very bad thing since a good chunk of Rage 2 is spent driving from point A to an oddly similar point C with an occasional stop at point B to grab a skill one may or may not find useful when the gunplay begins. The driving feels as if every stretch of road is slicked with oil, as my car teeters ever out of my control. And yes, the iD-developed gunplay is delightfully crunchy (as a videogame person would say), and Rage 2’s shotgun is quite possibly one of the best shotguns in all of videogames (for whatever that means). Sure, it looks fine-even if the character models stepped right out of 2011 and found themselves trapped in a 2019 videogame. Rage 2 is a videogame verbs greatest hits album by way of the bargain bin.

Upon entering, I hold another button and am given the upgrade, and then taken to a forced tutorial that lasts two minutes too long. Reeling in the highs of victory, I stroll through gore and mozy on up to the Ark and hold one button to open it.
Combat distance closes in and I pull out my shotgun, combat-dash forwards, and vivisect the few remaining enemies.
My assault rifle sings as it punches holes in the outlaws. When I happen upon said Ark, it’s guarded by a merry band of generic Mad Maxian outlaws, and my car comes to a skidding halt as I-Walker-burst forth from the cockpit with a singular intent. I’m headed for an Ark-futuristic structures left by the Rangers (the good-to-neutral faction in Rage 2) that harbor sweet, sweet combat/maneuverability upgrades. My car, aptly named the Phoenix, cuts tire tracks into the desert as I chase the millionth waypoint icon on my map (for what purpose? Just because). To enact Project Dagger, the final mission, you will need to raise each allies rank to level 10.A sand dollar sized sun cakes the world of Rage 2 in a sickly orange, as the sunlight reflects off of and seeps into the desert landscape that makes up a good chunk of the title’s open-world map. Once you reach level 5 in an ally's rank, you'll be able to take on their second quest (with the exception of John Marshall's quest - Cult of the Death God - which is available after his first mission. Doctor Kvasir wants you to complete Arks, find Ranger Echoes, and locate Ark Chests, Data Pads, and Spy Drones.Loosum Hagar wants you to take out Road Chokers, Authority Sentries, Pit Stops, and Electro Forges.John Marshall wants you to take out Bandit Dens, Mutie and Crusher Nests.Following this, you will need to raise their rank by performing tasks that benefit that ally: After completing the prologue, you will need to meet each of your allies and complete their initial mission.
