However, they have cleverly subverted that issue by allowing each power its own cool down, giving you the option to stack powers on top of each other. Very few games these days manage to give you powers that you can use in harmony, often because they are bottle-necked due to being tied to a single energy bar. To top off this power filled cake with a cherry on top, I unleashed my favourite move, Slam! A ground-shattering power that sees you shoot to the ground, causing a painful shock-wave to the enemy.
#Rage 2 the in and the out upgrade#
Since I have a skill upgrade where I can stay in the air for a few seconds whilst aiming in the air, I did that and managed to get a couple of shot into the enemy who was now looking the other way. So, I used my Rush ability to side step from the enemy, quickly turned around to use Grav-Jump (basically double jump) to lift myself high in the air. For example, I ran into a shield carrying enemy for the first time, and this enemy tends to charge at you. Not only do they really make you feel powerful with their polished vfx and impact, but they are seamless to use. The powers are a new feature in this series, and it is by far one of the best things I have seen added to a first-person shooter. Not to mention, the game passes the Shotgun test, by giving you one of the best shotguns I have used in a shooter that actually works long range as well. The shooting is mechanically satisfying, the on-foot traversal is fluid and the enemies are varied with all different skills and attack patterns, really making you utilise your complete arsenal of guns and power. It’s a fusion that makes sense as both studios get to draw from their strengths, and Rage 2 serves as proof of that.Īs id had previously made the excellent DOOM, you can really see them apply what they had learnt from it to Rage 2.
#Rage 2 the in and the out software#
Id Software has been responsible for the shooting and action side of things, whilst Avalanche has worked on the open world and the car combat. Unlike the last time around, the game has been co-developed by two studios, Avalanche and id software, who did the first one. This not only leads to a bombastic opening that hooks you in, but also to the death of most members, leaving Walker as the sole ranger of his community, hell-bent on revenge. However, they are invaded by the Authority, an evil dictator-led organisation that wants to mould the new world into their image.

Rage 2 tells the story of Walker, a member of an elite police force called rangers that aim to protect the people of the dystopian setting. However, even then not many were expecting to see a sequel from that game 8 years later, but I am genuinely glad we got one. When the original Rage was released in 2011, it was not really critically acclaimed, but due to some of the things it did well, like the animation and level design, it did manage to gain a cult following.
