Rage 2, ableism 

Disclosure: I won my copy of Rage 2 as part of a giveaway

So my copy of Rage 2 arrived today and it's actually really fun. I like the driving mechanics and the shooting feels really good. It has a similar weight to an early 2010s shooter. BUT the ableism present in the game is *painfully* obvious, and that makes it hard to enjoy. Like there's a story mission that requires you to play the mutant bash minigame, which is literally just a 10 minute mutant murdering gorefest. And one of the big main characters literally rides on top of a mutant, which is just... awful. So it's a good game that's just incredibly disappointing in its overtly ableist tendencies.
