[Xbox 360] [2010-2012] First-person shooter set in futuristic wasteland

Hey everyone, I’m trying to remember this Xbox 360 game I played years ago. It was a first-person shooter with a post-apocalyptic setting. Two specific moments really stuck with me from the campaign. First, there was this memorable level where you had to enter some kind of enclosed settlement that was surrounded by barriers. The whole area felt isolated from the rest of the world. Second, I clearly remember the ending scene where the main antagonist catches you off guard and takes you prisoner while your companion can only stand there watching without being able to help. The whole sequence was pretty intense. Anyone know what game this might be? It’s been bugging me for ages and I’d love to play it again.

Yeah that’s definitely Rage. The Authority section at the end was brutal - really got me. Loved the game though, shooting mechanics were spot on.

Definitely Rage! That Authority ending hits hard. Worth replaying for sure.

Yeah, that’s definitely Rage! The settlement you remember is probably Wellspring. That ending really hits hard, especially after all the battles you fight. The Authority totally blindsides you, making it a rough moment for sure. id Software really nailed that feeling of being completely powerless.

That definitely sounds like Rage. The Authority twist hits hard after all the shooting.

Sounds like you’re thinking of Rage. It has those settlements surrounded by barriers, and that ending where the antagonist catches you off guard is pretty brutal. Definitely worth revisiting if you’re into post-apocalyptic settings.
