Graphics

If we compare Rage 2 graphics with its previous title, then you will surely see some different. Graphics has improved, and many new features have been added to the game. Lighting also seems fine.

However, due to exception graphics, the game also demands you to have a high-end graphics card that can support the heavy graphics of Rage 2. Without a good graphics card, you might not be able to experience the same high-quality visual result – However, this is not a problem with the Google Stadia version. We found performance pretty good with no lag and no image problems when playing on desktop and mobile.

Other than this, Rage 2 offer a variety of different weapons to test the player shooting skills by hitting enemies.
