There’s plenty to do in both major cities of Wellspring and Subway Town. It’s almost like id spent the majority of their time perfecting the tech side of the game and ultimately lost the focus of the narrative. I mean, talk about generic, they couldn’t come up with a better name for either group? There’s a little substance on why they’re at odds with one another (which I won’t spoil here) but ultimately, it’s not nearly as fleshed out as it could have been. Eventually, you join sides with a group called “The Resistance” who oppose a group known as “The Authority”. Quite simply, you’re a glorified messenger or used as a one man army for the various people you come across in the wasteland. Seems this new post-apocalyptic Earth has taken a turn for the worse.
You set out to figure out what happened but before you make it far, you’re attacked by one of the new world bandit factions.
Things don’t go according to plan as you’re awoken early to find that the rest of the people in your Ark have perished. At a specified time, your Ark was programmed to rise again to reestablish the human race. Essentially, you play a nameless and voiceless Ark survivor, a person hand-picked to be cryogenically frozen under the ground to protect and eventually rebuild humanity after the comet Apophis strikes the Earth causing an apocalyptic event. Everything leading up to the release had convinced me that in addition to the beautiful visuals, the game would offer up a compelling narrative to drive the gameplay along. I was generally surprised by the lack of a strong narrative in Rage. So is Rage all style or does it feature some substance as well? Full review located after the break. You play a survivor trying to make it in a post-apocalyptic Earth. At it’s core though, Rage is a pure shooter. There’s certainly plenty of things to do in the game with side missions, minigames, and a surprisingly fun racing component to keep you occupied outside of the main quest line.
From a gameplay perspective, it feels like there’s something missing. id Software managed to create the very impressive idTech 5 engine to power this bad boy and visually, its extremely impressive. From the first moment you step into the world Rage, you’re in awe of the technology running the game.
