Ranking 2019's Biggest Video Games By Hype

19. Rage 2

Rage 2
Bethesda

Release Date: May 14

Though few were admittedly clamouring to a follow-up to 2010's mediocre open-world shooter Rage, this bonkers sequel looks decidedly more stylish and exciting, with its Mad Max-on-crack aesthetic and slick, fluid combat.

Yes, it's possible that Rage 2 ends up being a little too wacky-with-a-capital-W for its own good, but with its uncommon focus on single-player mayhem and gorgeous visuals, it could easily turn out one of the most improved video game sequels of all time.

The hype certainly isn't sky-high on this one - hence its lower placement - but it's also on a lot of people's radars in case the reviews turn out strong. If critics like it, don't be shocked if Rage 2 is one of 2019's biggest sleeper hits.
