The game&#8217;s marketing material even highlighted how newcomers can jump straight into this zany world with little foreshadowing as to what happened in the first game. Essentially, following a nuclear war, things have gone pear-shaped for humanity. You play as one of the last remaining Rangers in the wasteland who sets out to take out some tyrannical baddies and maniacs in order to bring some smidgen of law back into the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve-wrapper\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-1kX0pXXarGM\" style=\"max-width:702px;\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n<div class=\"arve-embed-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.250000%\"><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/1kX0pXXarGM?iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;autoplay=0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" frameborder=\"0\" name sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/1kX0pXXarGM?iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autoplay=0\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In terms of gameplay, <em>Rage 2<\/em> takes a far more fun and tongue-in-cheek approach, adding in a ton of zany weaponry and special powers \u2013 such as a quick teleportation attack \u2013 to get an edge in combat and keep your kill-count ticking over. Everything you do is heightened by\u00a0speed, stylish kills, and creativity, making you feel like you&#8217;re playing a acid-trip induced shooting gallery.
