Rage 2 hands-on video — the beginning of a long-awaited, crazy shooter

Avalanche Studios and id Software will launch Rage 2 on May 14 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and it is one of the zaniest video games you’ll find in the genre of postapocalypse shooters.

This over-the-top game has a crazy color palette and all kinds of nutty shooter and car combat gameplay. I’ve started playing it, but I’m going to play this one nice and slow.
