Mad Max

Buy it now. Really. Go on. Why are you still here?

Let's drive car. Let's fist fight enemies. Let's hold E to loot scrap. Let's hold E to refill water. Repeat 100x. Dialogue outside of cutscenes basically doesn't exist. You can fight 20 enemies, clear the camp, nobody will say a word, not Max, not people that move in, nothing. It feels empty in the wrong way (Wasteland should be empty). It feels like there's nothing there, no conversations, no Max's monologue, no comments from random people, nothing, there is just nothing. Game feels like someone took 2 things (car driving and fist fighting) and copied that dozens of times. And then called it a day. And the camera shake. Oh my god the camera shake. I do poorly on shaking camera, get a bit nauseous. This game swaaaaaaays like you're drunk on a ship on high seas. you drive a car, camera is left, right, up, down, swaying like crazy. You fight, camera jumps as if this is crazy action movie, not something where you'd appreciate stability and control. Ugh, I'm done. Went with low expectations, but this is just terrible.

This is one of those games that proves you shouldn’t always trust “professional” reviews. The gameplay isn’t groundbreaking and can be a bit repetitive, but everything it does, it does really well. Most importantly, the story and world are truly captivating. So if what you’ve seen has piqued your interest—don’t overthink it, just go for it.

Combat style of Batman Arkham Asylum, open world like AC and slap car fights and customization on it and you got this game that is still fun to play years later.

Nice gameplay that stays true to the IP. Controls are good for its type of game. Customization is nice.
