Description
id Software post-apocalyptic FPS in a world devastated by an asteroid with vehicles and hostile factions. Published by Bethesda, released in Europe in October 2011. Precise signature id Software gunplay, semi-open post-apocalyptic world, buggy races and vehicular combat, competitive multiplayer mode, and scripted duration. First id FPS on PS3. European version.
A post-apocalyptic FPS by id Software powered by the id Tech 5 engine, Rage blends brisk gunplay, buggy driving and a semi-open world in a desert ravaged by an asteroid. This USA and Korea edition is a dual-territory pressing, the Korean component coming from a limited PS3 market. Its collecting interest targets FPS fans and collectors of Korean editions, the rarity being regional rather than driven by strong demand.
Is Rage still worth playing in 2026?
An id Software FPS, Rage deploys a post-apocalyptic world of superb desert settings, driven by the id Tech 5 engine and its very fine textured rendering, blending snappy gunfights, buggy races and open zone exploration. The quality of the id signed gunplay, the mutant bestiary and the art direction appeal to shooting fans. The light story, an abrupt ending and texture pop-in temper the whole. A solid FPS to recommend for fans of snappy shooting and a sleek post-apocalyptic world.
