Borderlands Series
One look at the Borderlands games and you’ll instantly see where the comparison comes from. Just like Rage 2, the Borderlands games take place in a wasteland-like setting called Pandora, filled with plenty of menacing creatures and mutant psychos.
Borderlands is incredibly well-known for comedic tone and writing, with characters and a world that’s constantly tongue-in-cheek and poking fun. Luckily, the shooting is good enough to back up everything else as well.
The biggest difference between Rage and Borderlands is the latter’s focus on being a looter-shooter. In fact, Borderlands pretty much created the idea of a looter-shooter, as there are countless guns and weapons to collect, craft, and customize.
You’ll get to play as one of four different characters classes, each of which come with their own powers and abilities, usually over-the-top powers like in Rage 2. Borderlands is clearly a big inspiration for Rage 2, and although it does things differently any Rage fan should find a lot to love.
