Nothing about the game really evokes 'Rage' unless you're playing it on Harder difficulties and keep dieing every 2 minutes :V
I've finally finished this game after weeks of slacking off on it
First off the bad-
Enemies on Normal felt quite tanky, so I ended up dropping the difficulty to Easy just to make them managable. Mind you, you can still get wasted if you're not careful but the tankiness of enemies was pretty off putting as I'd waste lots of bullets just to kill them.
The game just...ends. Really feels like there were stuff that were cut from the main game, as the 2nd town you go to has far fewer missions than Wellspring.
Mutants suck, they're the worst enemies in the game IMO and I hated fighting them in certain missions.
The game's visuals are pretty...ugly. The lack of color and vibrancy for much of the game was disappointing, but the gameplay managed to hold me through.
Game felt like it dragged at certain points, and on that point there were some areas where you had to fight in some rather narrow or cramped areas. Felt rather claustrophobic.
That's it about the bad off the top of my head, so onto the good-
The shooting is really satisfying, much more so if you're playing keyboard and mouse. I tried playing this with a controller but aiming with the Right stick didn't feel good but once I switched to m+kb things got a lot better as I could aim the cursor much more properly at enemies.
The shotgun is great in this game, esp. the double barrel shotgun, that thing is so satisfying to hear when you fire and I used it for much of the game XP
There are other cool weapons too, like the crossbow and it's LIGHTNING BOLTS. It's always entertaining to fling electric shocks at enemies' faces. The rocket launcher is pretty cool too.
I liked how the game gave you weapons as you cleared missions, same with ammo too at a few points.
Despite my earlier complaint about the battle areas, the overall combat flow is pretty nice. The game really encourages moving around rather than being stationary or you get wasted. This is true for various parts of the game, and while you could hide behind some cover, later missions would have enemies that rush at you so you need to stay on your toes.
Combat really feels like a kind of precursor to Doom 2016.
Bonus points for having you carry all your weapons with you at all times and can switch between them, cuz you WILL be running out of ammo for various weapons over time.
Another useful gameplay concept is crafting. As you can craft healing items and ammo if you have enough supplies, which you can also buy from shops.
The driving and racing in the game are rather good and were designed pretty good for keyboard play. I got bored of the races by the 2nd town sadly, but I enjoyed what I played of it in the races.
The game's plot is rather non-existent, you can tell the team focused on the gameplay for the most part. From the game's title you'd think it'd be a grim game with people being grumpy and pessimistic, but a lot of the characters are friendly and helpful.
That's about all I can say about the game, if you got a PC or laptop that can run it, def. give it a play, it's a good 10-15 hour game despite any shortcomings, cuz shotgunning people at their faces is pretty fun in this game.
