Mad Max

This game is fun, and it's good, and it can be quite enjoyable too if you focus on the certain aspects you like about it, if you like the Batman games combat system you'll see that this game is about the same, the story is alright, nothing breath taking but it's there, Although I can't deny that shooting up cars and upgrading your ride feels great in this game, the engine roaring as you go through the desert is something this game absolutely gets right, the leveling system is almost redundant as you will have enough skill points for almost all upgrades by the time you reach half of the game
This game's side content will take hours to do, many more hours than what the story contains, and if you like doing them (or are masochistic) they can be done in due time, but they do get very repetitive and it feels like too much sometimes, finding all the damn cars and building them is such a chore too...
HOWEVER, if you're an achievement hunter like me, this game is on the bad tier list of hunting, as it has achievements that are almost impossible to get, unless you download a damn save file that worked before the servers shut down to get one of the last achievements, this isn't a very big inconvenience but beware of that if you want to 100% this.
Overall I liked Mad Max, but I hated it's side content, not enough to hate the whole game, ofc, but it gets tedious, this game is fun to play if you get it on a sale.

GIVE US A SEQUEL!!!
Such an underrated game, yes it can be repetitive with all the camps and scrap locations, but the car gameplay and combat is brutally good. All recommendation, go support and play this game.
Still hoping one day we'll get a sequel that will expand the lore and be even more awesome. Fingers crossed!

Post-apocalyptic world, cool cars, adventure and fun… what the hell are you waiting for?
This is how Fallout 4 should have looked.
It’s a game where you get to build your own dream post-apocalyptic machine.
It's very good. It'll give you some hours of mindless fun. It's the 6 piece McNuggets of gaming; not too flavourful or nutritious but inoffensive and filling.
If you're debating its worth. Don’t! Get this game. Its amazing. The combat is akin to the Arkham games but more gore. And its got elements of the game RAGE and Borderlands with its vehicle combat, but waaaaay better. This is one of if not the most underrated game of all time. Remember how people sometimes say, dont listen to the critics, well, this one wrote the book on that. One of the best sandbox games to come out. I even had more fun in this than Witcher 3 or MGSv. Yes this may not be as polished or deep, but boy is this game a hell lot of fun.
The immersion, setting and atmosphere are perfect. The character and car progression is fantastic and common-sense Self-Imposed Restrictions can take the entire gameplay and difficulty to a different and very satisfying level. Throw in the ability to turn the Hud completely off while eliminating the dumbed down hand holding and checklist, magic gps and paint by numbers gameplay and you have one of the great games in the industry. Play organically and youll be rewarded accordingly. Turning on the filter to match that of the Fury movie and toggling 1st person while driving is a blast too.
There is a certain level of charm to the game, like for an all desert setting the world is really immersive and well made, the skyboxes in particular. The game could have used more enemy types or more moves or a combination of both but the gamefeel of the combat held together for the duration of the game, every punch and counter has so much weight to it, especially in fury mode the sound of the shotgun is also great. The driving is easily the best part of the game and the best driving in any open world game that I have played, bordering on racing games level of good, the car feel, car sound and handling are all great and so are the car battles, harpooning a tire, harpooning a door than the driver, setting things on fire with your flamethrower or blasting things with the thunderpoon will never not be satisfying.
The story is that you live in this absolute sh*t world & do what you can to scrabble out the smallest specks of hope. An endless cycle of scavenging and violence. Gasoline, dust, and blood! You (the comfy videogame player) find yourself continually participating in bitter horrors - beating down scores of brainwashed war boys, running down unarmed in your car, digging through the remains of shattered lives, crawling over piles of mutilated dead, eating maggots out of the torso of a corpse - and you become thankful for these "awful experiences" as they come to represent you surviving yet another day.
The car is half the soundtrack, they nailed the engine sounds: creating a lovely ambient that perfectly accompanies the large empty wastes that the world has become. It's just Max and his car and the lack of soundtrack really accentuates that I LOVE it. I don’t know why, I’m aware it’s barren and repetitive and the bosses are all the same and all that bad stuff, but I enjoy just playing the game, going from place to place destroying cars and such. If you learn to enjoy the EXPERIENCE then the monotony doesn’t bother you so much. If your end goal is only “completionism” yeah, it might not be the best.
I find it's pure shallow fun. It feels like I'm in the Mad Max universe... grimy and over the top. Chumbucket is such a fun memorable character. It's not very difficult, and sometimes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Lastly, I absolutely LOVE using the harpoon in the car combat. to me it's the video game equivalent of the third movie, Fury Road. It hits all the notes you want in a modern Mad Max game without giving you anything extra. It's a so-so game but imo it's a kick-ass Mad Max game. Mad Max, at least for me, was a first of a kind experience. Especially with the vehicle aspect, as I was big on racing games at some point, and itching to get out of my car too. I'm not claiming the experience was the most amazing ever, but new and interesting definitely. Other than that, this game tickles my brain in a way I can’t describe, and I wish I would have found it sooner. Still, overall strong recommend as one of the best non-racing driving games, a spectacular open world, and probably the best post-apocalypse game I've played.
8/10

✅✅✅Mad Max is an open-world arcade game based on the film of the same title. In the game we play as Max Rockatansky, who is the last man in the desert. Our task is to fight gangs and survive in a brutal post-apocalyptic world.
✅What I liked the most is the combat system in this game, it's great, you could say it's like a Batman system.
✅Great graphics
✅Huge open world and therefore there are plenty of things to do
✅Many options for modifying and improving the vehicle and Max.
✅A dozen or so options for destroying enemy vehicles
✅Possibility to expand our fortresses, and thus their visual changes and additional various bonuses
✅Collectibles (bits of history)
✅Archangels and other vehicles with which we can move around the world as soon as we find them
✅There are quite a lot of races
✅A very nice system of "viewpoints" in the form of balloons
✅Possibility to destroy opponent's cars in several ways
✅Price adequate to the game
✅Autosave
❌The plot of this game is practically non-existent, the very small number of missions and the positive review from my side saves the last 3 missions of this game
❌Repeatable mission pattern
❌The game is too grind-oriented
No free jumping
❌I encountered some bugs in this game
❌No soundtrack while exploring the world
❌Artificially extended gameplay (collecting scrap in ridiculous amounts)
❌The amount of scrap for max vehicle upgrades is too high. When you collect scrap around the map, you get very little of it, you just have to rack up the hours, which Im not a fan of

You’re a guy in a leather jacket, whose car is your one true love, and fuel is your best friend. In the world of Mad Max, life is simple: smash, scavenge, repeat.
The combat system feels like dancing with a hammer: rough, but effective. And car chases? They’re like playing tag, but with flamethrowers and spikes. The story? Well, it’s like a road sign in the desert, it’s there, but where it leads is anyone’s guess.
If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming the king of the scrapyard and spending your evenings with rusty junk, Mad Max is your game. And if not, maybe it’s time to rethink your life choices.

It's a brilliant sleeper hit. It's a much grander and more visually appealing game than I thought it would be. I quickly became addicted to its fairly routine yet steadily progressing gameplay. The map is enormous, yet you'll want to clean the whole thing up. You've got plenty of incentive to improve and build both Max and his Magnum Opus from scratch. The Magnum Opus is the monstrosity of a car that connects Max to this world and its characters and gives him a purpose.

However, don't expect Rockstar Games levels of production. It can get repetitive and has minor annoyances, such as a useless jump button, inexact controls and vehicle combat that feels 'magnetic' (enemy vehicles compensate too much, making them feel like homing missiles). There are also issues with fading or disappearing sound and texture pop. However, none of these issues are so excessive that they prevent me from jumping right back in.

The big reason why you should try it out?
This game is 100% a Mad Max game. Perhaps not exactly canonical but what I can attest to is what exactly is inside this world here and what it offers you.The dreary, yet gorgeous atmosphere really pulls you in . And, oh my god...the wasteland. The petrol, the fumes, the flames, the fire, the smoke, the explosions, the violence and brutality, the scarcity of food and water, the sand, the wreckages, the vehicles, the leather, the maggots, the corpses, the people, the weird names , the ugly things juxtaposed by the beautiful things, the peculiarity of everything. This is definitely a love letter to the Mad Max universe and if you love that or just any post apocalyptic themes, this a worthwhile time sink.
