RAGE

Rage is a very good game for It's time. The world has a good theme, decent combat for it's time, and even good background music. But it does lack depth, and I think that is a pretty major flaw for a game like Rage. You don't get to know the characters very well, and move on to each settlement fairly fast. The game also never made me feel like something was at stake. Rage would have been an outstanding game if the developers had put much more time into the story and cutscenes of the game and the world Rage resides in. Overall: Rage is a good game and a decent buy, but do NOT expect an insane story like "The Last of Us," or "God of War." This game is old, so keep that in mind before you purchase. Rage is not "Fall Out." Rage is Rage.

Its a fun little game with a decent amount of content and basically runs on a toaster so i would recommend it, i suggest turning on the console commands to increase the FOV

The game kind of short but the dlcs make it a little longer. Its a great game, The spider robots are my favorite thing about the game.

For $5, this is a fun game and a good way to kill a weekend. It has a Borderlands/Fallout vibe, but unlike those games it is a shooter first and an RPG at a distant second. Most of the guns feel powerful, and there's a lot of strategy to be employed. Some guns are more useful for certain enemies than others. A lot of the enemies can soak up a lot of damage, but the smarter you fight the more effective each shot will be. Some enemies you should run up fast and shoot with a shotgun. Sometimes it's worth sniping from cover, even in a close indoor fight. Some items like the boomerangs or RC Car bombs are good in some situations and less so in others. I wouldn't say it's a thinking man's shooter, but it definitely invites more thinking than Call of Duty. The graphics are okay. Sometimes a vista looks quite beautiful, but close-up objects have muddy low-res textures. It's a very mixed bag. The soundtrack is forgettable, but very functional. The music will essentially tell you if enemies are nearby or not. The weakest part of this game, by far, is the story. You step out of a cryogenic freezing into a desert apocalypse with no knowledge of anything (like Fallout's Vaults). There's no re…

Fun singeplayer, quality models and immersion. Don't buy it for full price

For the price it offers, it's a charming old-school shooter. I'll start right away with the story, which is perhaps its weakest aspect: the plot is very straightforward, with no plot twists or anything like that: you have to defeat the authority, that's it. From the worldbuilding to the plot, nothing is fleshed out and it all stays superficial. It's important to clarify, though, that I didn't find the story bad or poorly written, it simply isn't the focus of the game and only serves as a goal to push the player forward, though unfortunately I have to say it ends in a fairly anticlimactic way (in a negative sense), without a final boss fight. The strongest elements, on the other hand, are the art direction and atmosphere. Even though the textures are dated and even lower resolution than what was typical at the time, the visual impact is spectacular thanks to an art direction that focuses more on the overall vision than on individual details. The game is full of landscapes and vistas that could easily be paintings, and even the interiors are all unique and interesting. The visual design of the environments and enemies makes the game very immersive and creates the illusion of a worl…
