An optional point of interest in Atlas Fallen is the grave of Felix Rischbieter, a head of IT and QA, who died of a sudden heart attack in 2022. He worked in a company since 2007 and was appreciated by colleagues and friends.
Honestly, a heartwarming touch — all games are made by people, and they lay lives on it.

Rage 2 is very and I mean very odd even if you compare it to other open world games.
They took the shooting core from DOOM 2016, pulled a lot of legacy from the original Rage, and then dumped a lot of open world with vehicle focus on top of that.
The map is roughly 10x10 KM with deserts, swamps, and even lush jungles. The game design was never made for that vegetation density, so enjoy getting shot from unexpected directions.
So is it good?
It has moments!
But also bugs, including collapse of terrain generation. And a notoriously bad vehicle physics (worse than in Just Cause). And it will never be fixed.
But it's still better than Starfield 🌚

And since oddly enough, many of you have no idea what RAGE used to be in the first place: it's ID Tech pioneering on texture streaming:
Before it became a thing in all modern engines and APIs, John had to invent the wheel with MegaTextures project.
And the video is from... 2012
The technology failed due to disk drive requirements and stability on driver and hardware levels.
The uncompressed RAGE levels were over 300GB in size. And so the desired clarity was unreachable for the final game. But lessons were learned and soon all modern engines embraced texture streaming.
