Review RAGE 2 (PS4) - Some of the Best Shooting This Gen Doesn't Get the Attention It Deserves
What a wasteland
RAGE 2 is a bit of an odd one. It's been marketed as a sandbox of insanity since its initial reveal, but the reality is that it's actually a pretty tame open world shooter — you could even call it safe. It can be loud but it's no Mad Max: Fury Road, it can be sassy but it's no Borderlands, and it can be brutal but it's no DOOM...

News Fallout 76 Outlines Big Plans for 2019, But We Think Bethesda Should Fix the Game on PS4 First
Priorities
We went back to Fallout 76 not too long ago just to see how it was holding up, and do you know what we found? Yep, it's still a technical mess on PS4.

The game that keeps on giving
Fallout 76 has been the butt of just about every joke imaginable since it launched in November last year, and we just can't help but laugh.
