Rage 2: 10 Features That Prove It's Better Than DOOM

The original Rage had its fair share of problems, one of which was its art direction that employed the color scheme of a bowl of Cheerios. The open world was so devoid of color and life, it made exploration a chore. No matter what, some splashes of vibrancy to an open world can give it the appearance of life and personality, even if it secretly lacks a pulse. Rage 2 learns from its predecessor, takes a page from Far Cry: New Dawn's book, and makes the post-apocalypse mighty colorful.

But it isn't just the color palette, it's the environments too. While DOOM had superb level design, environments largely blended together and rarely felt too distinct. Rage 2 makes a habit of switching up the look and feel of each biome spread across the map. Yes, there's a whole lot of desert to behold, but there are swamplands, forests, and even cities too.

Avalanche and id have created a world that never looks too similar for too long. Making the environment diverse and vibrant was one of the developer's primary goals, and the effort clearly shows.
