RAGE

nice game

Good and fun 360 era desert shooter sloppa

I picked up Rage after an eight-year hiatus. I didn't remember much about the campaign, so I started fresh. Rage is very much a product of its time and consequently must be judged accordingly. For a 15 year old game, it holds up remarkably well.

What I like: It's still a great game to look at. There's a certain charm to these early 2010 games graphically. Surprisingly, I like the fact that there's no mini-map, no world map, and no objective markers. (And no XP!) It gives you the sense that you truly are a stranger. Crafting is surprisingly deep and there are plenty of ways to upgrade your arsenal: robots, ammunition types, healing/damage boosts, etc. Inventory management was a bit clunky, but one adjusts to it. NPCs are all normal people, which is a nice change from "modern audience" games. The nap itself is surprisingly small, but I was ok with that because it made traversal much quicker. It was never more than 30 second drive from a hub to a mission.

As far as complaints, there's an over-reliance of mutant-spawns in certain missions. Wave after wave after wave gets tedious. Vehicle handling is atrocious. The soundtrack is completely generic and forgettable. Weapons damage feels undertuned. I ran a shotgun almost the entire game because other weapons, such as the pistol and AR, were so weak. The final was mission was incredibly anti-climatic. It was one of those "that's it?" moments. I suspect they were in a rush to finish it or under some sort of technical limitation.

That said, I still heartily recommend it. It can be had for a couple of bucks on and will give you a weekend nostalgia trip. I did campaign, all side quests, most of the races, and spent some time exploring and it took about 15 hours to complete. On the whole, I'd give it 7.5 out 10.

Borderlands + Doom 3 = Rage

Great Game. Very Cahllenging.

Good game

Nice graphics, fun but repetitive combat. OK story, but short. This game is a 6 or 7 (6.5?) on a 10 scale.

Great game. Hate the obnoxious rally races though

Wingstick girl.

This game only gets good at the end, as in it doesn't get good until you uninstall it. It feels like it wants to be Borderlands 1 just more serious and plays like Fallout 3 (the gunplay without VATS and aesthetically), just way less fun. It has terrible controls, the combat is samey and annoying with every new encounter feeling exactly like the previous one while taking more ammo to get through. The driving sucks, the aiming sucks, the graphics suck, the dialogue sucks and the story sucks. Also, your character can't run or jump for shit even though they are hinted at being cybernetically enhanced.

The only good things are that it had some interesting ideas like the exploding RC cars, the wingsticks (which are OP as hell) and the vehicle customization was a good idea but was shallow and executed poorly. To be fair, some of the maps are okay but the linearity is irritating.

Just isn't that great.

I like it

Think Doom 3 meets Mad Max. Nothing too crazy plot wise but id always delivers on moment to moment gameplay. For a game this old the asking price is more than fair as each gun and throwable feels great to use. Overall its a fun game to turn your brain off to after a long day of work. No need to think too deeply just shoot and drive.

Good game

Very epic. Highly recommend you play.

It's a solid game

We have Fallout at home.

Nice game.

bethesda most underated game

One of the many ID tech FPS, it does nothing that stands out as exceptional, but does everything well enough to be an enjoyable experience.

This game is bad. It feels like a tech demo. I don't even know what id was going for here. It's like a worse version of Borderlands. The story is nonexistent. The gameplay is basic.

Though it's been merely just one playthrough, RAGE provided a very enjoyable experience. The amount of realism and simple niches, later immortalized in DOOM, portrayed in situations as simple as gunfights clearly set the stage and standard for future idTech engine games. And clearly well-made setting, which is important.

Good for 1 playthrough

Skip Rage 2 and play this instead. The first Rage may be rough around the edges, but it actually had soul, atmosphere, and guns that felt like they had weight. The sequel just felt like neon noise.

The game is interesting for maybe 5 hours, but it one of those red-screen-health games where you spend half the game hiding behind cover. The entire thing is uninspired and boring. John Goodman is here for some reason. The combat sucks, racing is eh at best, level design is good for two levels then just repeats forever, story is eh, world is eh.

gasoline.

I can see why people hate this game. I personally find it to be a gem. It's a first person DOOM Mad Max, what more do you need? There is more than just shooting. There's a multitude of different minigames. Mostly gambling minigames but there is racing and what seems similar to caravan from Fallout NV. I don't have a friend to test the CO-OP mode but I can make it to the lobby to start it.

So far I'm liking it and though steam says it's not supported on deck, I've been playing it on deck. I had to go on computer and into the games own controller settings and activate the controller option in game and it works just fine.

Not as good as Fallout.

Lack of empathy.

This game is amazing! It has that certain something that games have lost over the past decade or so and I'm not just talking about the pretty ladies. The setting, music, sound effects and graphics are all top notch and that's really saying something considering how old this game is. Don't listen to the haters. There's shooting, driving, exploration, upgrades and more to keep you having a blast in the game. Oh and did I mention they actually have attractive women and not some crazy agenda. It's like they made this game with the overwhelming majority of Gamers in mind, what a concept! Do buy the DLC if it doesn't come with it, totally worth it!

nostalgic

It's a bit like Borderlands, but without the cell shaded graphics and the humor.
The game is okay with still good graphics but nothing more than that.
I have the problem that you cannot go anywhere you want, it's a bit to lineair in a way that you cannot jump over obstacles. For an 2011 title it can much better with more graphical options and a FOV slider (now I added this in the cfg file.

Really solid game despite its age. Graphics have aged better than most, despite low texture quality the set dressing and level design is well done.

The UI, Menus primarily are rough to navigate due to irregular mouse sensitivity, but aside from that. pleasant experience

Really fun after the basics which are very simple and easy to grasp even a caveman can do it! Playing after 30 minutes I was interested and loved the feel of the game play with the weapons the movement of the game and although the story is very shallow it works with what it is given very well. The driving mechanic is janky and kinda frustrating at times but it isn't to hard to get used to if after a hour and doing some of the racing mini-games to get familiar with how it works and to me it's a ton of fun. I played this game back when I was 12 and switched to pc and it still is very fun as it still is today and if that says something maby it will be fun for you too,

It's weird. How could a game with good gameplay and thrilling gunplay... end up so boring? Very forgettable and has no right to be a 11+ hour game.

Still plays great in 2025. I've never finished the campaign and I'm gonna fix this now.

If you can find it for a few bucks then it packs some good action mixed with an interesting world - although one that is not deeply explored by the game. The graphics may not seem as glorious as they used to but the design makes up for some of it.

I grew up with the Rage trail but i bought it fully and ever since i got it i loved it im so glad steam has one of my favorite child hood memories <3

- somewhere between 4 & 5 out of 10
- combat is fun, only gripe is the damage reactivity from the enemies feels a little stiff
- only a handful of enemy types, then they become reskins
- fuck the one race game mode where you have to get 50 points
- pretty short so the story isn't really too engaging
- becomes a bunch of fetch questing

This works on Steam deck. You just have to find the keyboard bindings onlne and map the controller accordingly. Also make sure to first turn on gamepad in settings.

An underappreciared gem. One of my favorite Id software games. Some people have an issue with the racing but its minor, mostly optional, and doesnt ruin the game. Its a very fun straightfoward semi open world post apocalyptic shooter up there with Fallout imo. 9/10.

I played this game before, at my old PS3, a couple years passed, i decided to try it again on pc, honestly its pretty good, you may encounter some minor graphical and performance issue, but it doesnt bother anything base on my experience, no crash or blue screen so far, for better experience i recommend to run in on 64 bit version sadly it doesnt support mods and multiplayer, overall its as good as i remember maybe a bit better, classic madmax inspiration game.

If "Really, that's it?" was a game. It's entertaining enough and well done, but it feels like it ends before it really gets going and never fully capitalizes on all it's potential. 6.5/10

*Older game, fair amount of bugs

I love this sort of open world game where you drive to various linear levels.. like tomb raider 2013 of a Metroidvania.. the levels would lead you on these insane roller coasters of visuals and gameplay.. but somehow always loop right back to where you started (the entrance is also the exit!). It feels very clever and well designed. And the graphics.. it's been like what.. 14 years.. the game still looks GREAT! I recently replayed it on steam deck during some flights and it is so worth 10$.. on sale for a couple bucks it's a steal. I'd totally still recommend this in 2025.. I'd read the other reviews to figure out if it's your cup of tea but I certainly had a BLAST!

Game is unplayable in 2025. Constantly crashing and their is an annoying memory issue.

Throw a wingstick in this game at an enemy. Now do the same with Rage 2. This is why Rage 2 is a soul-less cashgrab.

Borderlands but good

Runs great on Steam Deck. Just increase texture cache size via the games menu.

I bloody love this game, it's deeply flawed but I played the SP and MP to death on 360 and I'm having a blast revisiting it. My only fresh criticism (beyond said gameplay flaws) are the sound glitches - there's occasional sound lag/clipped dialogue which is quite irritating tbh. In totality though, RAGE is a lot of fun with immensely satisfying gunplay. I'm in the minority who adored the vehicular combat too! Highly recommended

Была бы игра линейной, то мб я бы её посоветовал.

Little or no resemblance to the open world RPG I was hoping it would be, I suppose it's just not for me.

Only giving thumbs up because there's no 3rd option. I didn't like the game but doesn't mean it's bad. Looks great and plays fine
