Mad Max

Mad Max is a fun romp in a post-apocalyptic world. Yes it has all the tropes of an open-world game, but most importantly it is extremely enjoyable. Don't rush, take your time, play it at your leasure and have fun and any tedium will be avoided. Lastly on the topic of being a Mad Max experience I can whole-heartedly say is it ever, the world, the characters and the cars are spot on.

This is a simple game, a fun game. Loving the melee fights, the gradual building up of car and weapons. Fun, easy to play, loving it.

I didn't have high expectations, but the game is very entertaining! I love it!

Well worth the discounted price. Probably worth the full price. If you're a fan of the Mad Max properties, the story will keep you entertained. The fighting system is satisfying if a little janky, but the driving makes up for it. Might be a decade old, with graphics to match, but I'm more than happy with it.

This game faces the same conundrum as every post apocalyptic setting: how do you make a wasteland that isn't barren and boring? They succeed for the most part by having great traversal with really well done old world landmarks/objects in various states of decay, a beautiful (mostly) desert biome, and some solid world building aided by environmental storytelling. The car, and my boy Chumbucket, are the real stars of the game. Driving around feels excellent, vehicle combat is quite fun, the racecourses are mostly good with a mandatory story track being the worst. Unfortunately variety is the game's biggest weakness. Maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of the inhabited camps are extremely similar ramshackle heaps that blend together after a while when doing a full playthrough. Enemies types are lacking and the different factions as well as the bosses and just reskins. Would have loved a few more strongholds scattered about because they contain the most interesting character models that scratch the apocalyptic weirdo itch I crave. I'm on a massive Mad Max kick right now so the rating is probably more generous and bias than it objectively should be
