Rage 2 is an open-world shooter with RPG elements, tons of unique weapons, a vibrant (and violent) world, and big explosions.

With the Red Faction series being dormant, Just Cause 4 has taken the reigns as gamers’ destruction series. I’ve always been rather reluctant with the series, as running around and blowing up everything in my path has just never really been my cup of tea.
