    a masterpiece in the form of a game. The atmosphere created in the game and that the developers managed to convey is truly impressive, the emotion we feel when playing, for me, is just surreal

    Nearly a masterpiece. It is intentionally a mashup of aesthetics of all the mad max movies. If you are in to that, The atmosphere and aesthetic is impeccable. The story is enthralling, though I didn't like how it ended. The gameplay gets a little repetitive, but you don't have to unlock everything. Feel free to move on more quickly and just bask in the glorious art and dialogue.

    One of the best open-world post-apocalyptic games ever created. I just can't get enough of it, really could have used some DLC tho. Extremely underrated and really fun to play. You can get lost in it for hours.

    Mad Max hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht, ihr wertet euren Charakter auf, euer Auto, könnt verschiedene Lager plattmachen habt 3 Festungen, in denen ihr verschiedene Aufträge bekommt und das Gebiet rund um die Festung säubert, wie Far Cry oder sonstige Spiele wo ihr die Map cleart. Die Story ist ebenfalls richtig gut geworden, macht mega viel Spaß, das Einzige, was ein bischen unlogisch war,Mad Max hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht, ihr wertet euren Charakter auf, euer Auto, könnt verschiedene Lager plattmachen habt 3 Festungen, in denen ihr verschiedene Aufträge bekommt und das Gebiet rund um die Festung säubert, wie Far Cry oder sonstige Spiele wo ihr die Map cleart. Die Story ist ebenfalls richtig gut geworden, macht mega viel Spaß, das Einzige, was ein bischen unlogisch war, war, dass man die Bauteile für die derzeitige Festung immer erst komplett zusammen hatte, als man sie verlassen hat, man ist also in einer neuen Festung angekommen, macht die Map leer um alle Bauteile zu bekommen, macht dann die Story Mission in diesem Gebiet, hat alles zusammen und verlässt die Festung dann und geht zu einer anderen, das hat dann nur noch was gebracht, wenn man später in diesem Gebit noch eine Aufgabe hat, die wurden nämlich teilweise auf der gesamten Map durchgeführt. Ein wirklich lohnenswertes Spiel, hält lange, macht Spaß, super für Survivor Game Liebhaber :)… Expand

    The good: Graphics, no crashes on PC, car gameplay, exploring wasteland is somewhat enjoyable,

    The bad: combat fighting is boring and not challenging, this is a big negative for me since a lot of the gameplay is on foot. Upgrades for max and car seem to do very little. A lot of the game seems repetitive, the top dogs look exactly the same, they just have a different color scheme.

The game has a lot of similar objectives to do, like a Ubisoft game, and it's incredibly fun to do them all, because you get important rewards to upgrade Max and your car and also the gameplay loop is really fun.

    And one of the most important things for me, and why I love this game is that it never gets boring the more you play it, it actually gets more fun when you upgrade all of your stuff. Not a lot of games can do this, a lot of games can get really boring after a while. Overall, a 10/10 excellent game, and it's really sad how underrated this game is, more people should know about it.    … Expand

Многие камни не круглые а восьмиугольные. Бывает ощущение что на некоторых деталях такое пикселей 10 ибо они очень плохо выглядят. 5.5/10

    Как я понял игра это приквел к фильму Безумный Макс Дорога Ярости. В сюжете много отсылок на фильмы по Максу. Я не могу сказать, что сюжет потрясающий. Скорей для меня сюжет в этой игре является клеем для других аспектов игры. 6/10
    Транспорт и связанное.
    Именно за транспорт я полюбил эту игру. Мне очень зашла система построения “Шедевра”. Единственное что не очень понравилось в прокачке это что много улучшений двигателя это всего лишь изменение впускного коллектора. 9.5/10
    Карта.
    Карта хорошая. Интересная и не кажется абсолютно пустой. Но местами она странно построена особенно её северо-запад. 7.5/10
    Физика.
    Физика приемлемая. Иногда происходят прикольные момента когда человека машиной прибиваешь к стене и он улетает в полёт. Местами бывает что получаешь урон фиг знает о что. Или подлетаешь не высоко. 6/10
    Звук.
    Очень классный звук двигателя. Слышишь всё. Если стоит топовый V6 то слышны турбонагнетатели. Если стоит V8 а на нём нагнетатель Рутса слышен звук нагнетателя. Очень классные звуки пешего боя. 9/10

I have open world game fatigue, but this one broke through that fatigue. It takes a lot of ideas and concepts explored by other other world games and presents them in a nice and oddly addictive package. The combat is pretty standard, almost like a well executed Assassin’s Creed gameplay, where you have a light attack, heavy attack, parry, dodge, and mix in a few situational moves and executions. However the game makes the simple combat system so rewarding because of the way it is presented. The hits are hard - the bass in the heavy punches and executions really makes it feel more brutal. What also helps make this more entertaining is that you are typically outnumbered, Max can take punches, and when he gets into Fury mode then the hits land hard. It just gives you a fun experience of playing as Max Max. The vehicle combat is also pretty standard - ram into other cars, side swipe other cars, use a few gadgets and weapons. But the audio of your engine roaring and feeling that you’re being overwhelmed and swarmed by other cars makes it an entertaining experience. Trying to fight off three cars outnumbering you, but then your vehicle is about to explode so you have to jump out and dodge the cars on foot, it’s such a well executed experience. The setting and landscape really adds to the experience. Chasing cars through the vast dunes really makes it fun. I think one of the elements that really ties everything together is the setting and atmosphere.

    The graphics are excellent, the performance of the game itself is excellent, the sound design is pretty good, it’s just all very well done. The customization isn’t particularly deep, but the grind to unlock parts and upgrades is pretty well paced, if not maybe slightly on the longer side. The story is there, it’s pretty bland, but I think it lands the Mad Max theme. Just a lone warrior wandering in the wastelands, and that’s what it feels like. I didn’t expect to enjoy this game this much. I initially gave this an 8/10, but I raised it to a 9/10 because I ended up playing all the way to completion and trying to complete the side missions afterward to build up the bases. It’s really rare when an open world game captures me like this. Like I said on surface level, it doesn’t do anything new, but there is some element to the game that made me commit to it and put in 30+ hours, wanting even more. It’s a shame this may not ever get a sequel, but regardless, the game holds up so well that it’s worth checking out now.    … Expand

    Game's boring scenario aside it's combat mechanic is well made. Your ability to snipe in trunk is one of it's example. On the other hand, game offers you a great driving experience with beautiful engine sound effects that even better than most racing games. Mad Max has a huge open world. It's worth to play for fun.

The car and foot based combat is fun and satisfying, and ultimately it ties in perfectly with the movie that came out the same year.

    The game is a combination of many generations of games. It has Batman Arkham like freestyle refreshing combat, Far Cry like grinding and outpost capture which is rewarding, explosions and destruction like the Just Cause games. The game is mostly fighting bad guys and liberating outposts. You collect scrap which is the in-game currency to unlock car parts and upgrades for Max.

    It is one of the few games that I completed all optional missions and cleared threat all across the map.
    Customizing options for Magnum Opus and Max could be more but it was OK.
    However the only part I didn't like much was main story. The story wasn't good enough and there wasn't anything interesting about it.
    Excluding the story, I think it was an amazing and under-rated game; Thus, I give it 8/10.

    Pros:
    + If you're a fan of the movies Mad Max, this game will be an enjoyable, even so, I think it was pretty good
    + The graphics are very good
    + Car customization is nice and the car really has good details
    + You can tell that the developers put a lot of effort into effects and I think GTA and other open-world games need to learn from explosions, this game nailed it well
    + It's vast, you can feel the emptiness and the characters are unique and interesting
    + Combat is pretty nice

    Cons:
    - It's too long, after clearing 2 areas, the 3rd and 4th one became a bit tiring and not any more interesting
    - For upgrading, you need to unlock the areas and complete the map, if you're not a completionist like myself, you'll find this as a drag
    - Surprisingly the ending was disappointing a bit for me, I wish it had a happier ending, but heck, that might be my opinion, others might like it
    - Repetitive after a while, I wish it had more diversity
    - Outside the cutscenes and discussions between Max and Chumbucket the voice acting lays flat
    - Combat becomes repetitive at the end part, I wish there were more moves

    What really made me spend 68 hours in the game was the unique experience this game had to offer. It sure had some flaws and it was vastly repetitive at mid parts, I could have gone through the story quickly, but I wanted to get all the achievements and finish the game 100%, so I have felt many times that this game had been dragged too much and nothing was filled in to replace the long drives.

    What really made me cope with the long drives and constant repetitive side missions was music and listening to audio-books. I wish that wasn't necessary, this game has no significant music during driving and it feels like something really lacks.

    Overall I will give this game a strong 7.5/10. I do hope to see a Mad Max 2 later along the line, but I am not sure if that will be the case. It's worth playing never the less, I am sure some of you will like it. I did, was a nice experience.    … Expand

The world might be open but the story progression was designed to be completed in a specific order otherwise things might not make sense here and there. There were other smaller issues, but none of this really matter because the experience was otherwise very enjoyable, this was needed just to explain why it doesn't deserve an actual 10.    … Expand

    It's a pity that this game ended up mostly ignored when it came out. It really nails the Mad Max atmosphere and the games systems are mostly solid.
    It can get repetitive at times but driving around and smashing other cars is insanely fun. Switching often from driving to on foot also helps lessen the repetitiveness of the experience.
    Don't expect much from the story.
    Overall, a pretty good time.

    As an avid mad max fan i can only recommend this game, the atmosphere is great and perfectly catches what is portrait in the most recent movie plus the world is filled with plenty of little details and lore fitting to the universe AND its quite a lengthy game even if you are not interested in exploring or doing side mission so yes go and get it.

    Both the gameplay and the story are an emotional rollercoasters. When it comes to the gameplay the very first few hours are a chore but after that it becomes an amazing experience. The story is full of emotions and just like in the movies Max is haunted by his past and present decisions.

    A wasteland full of wildness and madness, desolate and perilous open world, the narrative is good, but in the way for gameplay, there are still details to be improved, interactive limitations affect the experience of the sense of substitution, but the game is complete.

    Wonderful game. Maybe a bit dark for me, but I liked it nevertheless. Solid car and combat sections, good story (but not a main focus of the game), very satisfying progression (upgrading car and main character). Played on Linux with only minor issues (very rarely sound, e.g. tank explosions, don't play).

    Story: you're max and your car gets stolen thats how it starts. and from there max wanders the wastes until he find a a dog and that dog leads him to a crippled hunchback named chum bucket who makes cars and thinks you are some kind of savior. i like chum bucket i thought he was gonna be an annoying companion at first but often times hes a voice of reason to maxs more rough and violent nature and is a much more usefull companion than most in video games , mainly because he sticks to the car and dosen't have a health bar or his health bar is the cars. the rest of the story dosent really matter because it feels like filler this whole story feels like a filler arc of naruto a well writen filler arc of naruto ( like The POWER arc) as much as i liked chum bucket and how well designed the other characters are its really not that important to the franchise and that was something that bothered me. the ending is terrible and the reason for most of my gripes actually its half the reason this game feels unimportant and bogs down the story.
    Story 5/10

    World building: the story never added anything to the franchise but this games world building did. although its style and world are mostly based off of fury road , this game is a "prequel" to the movie (not that it matters) mad max's world is like an episodic tv show with no over arcing plot with the exception of the first movie. BUT in this game they dive more into how the Apocalypse has affected humanity with the treasures relics of the old world , and how you can eat maggots out of a dead body for health , water is only obtainable it small amounts from the air or the occasional time it rains. Witch begs the question , what happens to the world ? where did all the water go ? , as of right now the only mad max media i haven't consumed that i know of is beyond thunder dome and i desperately think that movie isn't going to answer my questions BUT the fact that iv watched all the other movies and the game is the one that makes me question its world like this tells me that the game is doing something right.
    World building 8/10

    Graphics: i was actually quite impressed with how well this game looks its dusty its rugged and the visual style is close to fury road. max himself seems to be a good mix of hardy's max and a young mel gibson and this makes max feel different but the same at the same time but in a good way. not only is the style good its technically good , the partical effects, the animations and especially the character designs all make up a beautifully looking game
    Graphics: 9/10

    Game play: ok now the real meat of the game , ITS FUN the combat is a slower paced version or arhkam asylum's with more brutal take downs and executions with the added shotgun. the camps are varied and no location feels like the last , camps can be any where, sides of cliffs , on top of oil rigs , an armored compound or an underground tunnel. all with vastly different loot and reasons to take them on. the driving feels good and car combat is probably the best iv seen in a game thus far everything just works. there are a few tedious side objectives like the scare crows but they are usually easy enough to take down and don't take much of your time so that's a minor gripe BUT the mine fields are just obnoxious because you need a specific vehicle to deal witht hem (the buggy witch you get fairly early on) all this really dose is make it so you pretty much have to do everything else before you get to them so you are not a sitting duck in that buggy. if you could pick up scrap metal by walking over it instead of pressing A or X or E what every controller/keyboard you are using that would be nice to because of how important scrap is to upgrade both you and your car.
    Gameplay: 9/10

    sound design: voice acting is really good , chum buckets voice actor gives a great performance max sounds good more like hardy than mel. and the sound effects ar incredible , punches feel bone shattering , guns have weight because of how few their are and the cars just sounds like heaven. my one problem with the sound is the music is there even any ? a little bit of battle music but the great sound effects always over powers it and music is like a 3rd of the sound design.
    Sound design :7.5/10

    5+8+9+9+7.5=38.5
    38.5/5=7.7/10

    Mad max is a really good and fun game that has a few glaring and minor flaws upon replaying this game i can tell you its replay value is pretty poor but if its a new game to you and you liked shaddow or morrador or the arkham games its easily recommendable    … Expand

    Side missions are a repetitive, exploration is repetitive, minibosses are repetitive, combat has not much variety, car handling is not the best out there...and you will waste time in mandatory grinding or xp hunting with uninspired thropy-like minigame (Jumping with your car, use a particular combat move a fixed number of time, and so on).

    The middling reviews this game receives is a classic symptom of how bad wannabe film school grads shouldn't be reviewing video games.

You can see a devastating sand storm coming your way and then you have to run for your life and take shelter. It has a very nice graphics, fair story, nice combat system, and very fun car combat.

    I had heard that Mad Max could be a bit boring of a game but when I got it on sale for $6CAD I figured I would give it a go. It was a good choice. I do tend to get bored in open world games sometimes but the combat and story of Mad Max kept me entertained. There were a few quirks along the way but nothing gamebreaking. The graphics were solid, the game was stable, the combat was great andI had heard that Mad Max could be a bit boring of a game but when I got it on sale for $6CAD I figured I would give it a go. It was a good choice. I do tend to get bored in open world games sometimes but the combat and story of Mad Max kept me entertained. There were a few quirks along the way but nothing gamebreaking. The graphics were solid, the game was stable, the combat was great and the story fit the lore.

    The gameplay was a mesh of the Batman games from Rocksteady and Sleeping Dogs. It mixed the timing based combat of the Batman games with the brutality from Sleeping Dogs. It felt very at home with the Mad Max series as it was very low tech but brutal. You could use shivs, various finishers such as breaking bones and necks, melee weapons and go into fury mode which aside from extra damage has it’s own selection of finishers. I wished you had more control over which finisher was used as sometimes they would repeat a lot but that’s a minor gripe. The car combat was pretty decently done but felt clunky at times. There were a good variety of weapons to use from the car but aiming them just felt off sometimes. I could be right next to an enemy but not have the option to shoot for their tires but move a little away or back and suddenly I could even though I should have had a clear shot before. The car damage was a mixed bag as well. I could run head on into a rock and half my car’s health could be gone or get t-boned by an enemy and same thing but I could then go and boost off a cliff, flip over a half dozen times and land without a scratch or dent to my car’s health. One more thing is that the lack of a jump ability was really poorly thought out. I literally couldn’t get to some loot because the game wouldn’t allow me to walk on a few surfaces to get to it. Had I been able to jump there would be no issue. I wish the map would tell me which areas were locked because sometimes I travelled all the way to a loot location only to be told this area was locked to a story quest which means I wasted my time going there.

    The graphics were overall above average but not stunning. I can’t point to one thing and say it was bad but I also can’t point to one detail that really stunned me. You know the feeling of seeing water or foilage in Crysis the first time or seeing the world of Oblivion after exiting the dungeon after the intro or the fire damage to the landscape in Far Cry 2, etc. I could go on but basically the graphics were good and better than some but nothing stood out about them. It may be tough to make a desert wasteland look gorgeous but either way they didn’t. One thing I will say though is the storms were very well done. Lightning strikes going off everywhere, debris blowing everywhere, made for a sight and was tense.

    As I mentioned earlier the game was stable for me on Linux. On Windows I would get a crash every 10 minutes or so due to a “directX error”. On Linux I had one single solitary crash and that was it. On Linux it had a Vulkan beta as wel as the standard OpenGL version. The Vulkan version offered me more stable framerates, less valleys and peaks than OpenGL. Both were good though as I averaged over 80 FPS with the game maxed out. That being said when I was around two specific areas, Deep Friah’s stronghold and Gastown, I would get random drops to 20-30 FPS even with nothing going on at all. No combat, car chases, just me walking around. I am not sure of the cause but it happened on both OpenGL and Vulkan. The game was only using 26% of my CPU and between 3-3.5GB of RAM so those weren’t the cause of my slowdowns. As for graphics options there were plenty. There were toggles for Vsync and motion blur, 8 different levels for AF, 1 level for SSAO and AA as well as 13 other options all with various levels. There was no way to turn depth of field off though, I could only lower it. While there was no option in the menu for 144Hz the game did allow me to go up to 144hz with Vsync. I beat the story in 52 hours and completed 78% of the game overall. I played on version 1.1 of the game. The game lacked manual saves but it did save after every event whether it was collecting loot, doing an upgrade or completing a mission so it wasn’t a big deal.

    I enjoyed my time with Mad Max. It had it’s quirks and issues but overall the story was good and the combat was good so those are two big wins right there. I would easily recommend it to those who enjoy open world games or the timing based combat of the Batman games. There are better games out there but there are far worse as well. I paid $6 CAD for it but would easily say it is worth $30 CAD.

    My score: 7.5/10

The world has been constructed in an exquisite way- all these light reflections, weather changes, driving physics, fight mode, enemies and the incredible undergrounds. We can also find stuff like postcards and info from the past. I’ll be honest- it was really nice to read these old notes and listen to short, but to the point comments from Max.

    Additionally we have character development through doing all kinds of quests and upgrading our vehicles. To me it’s perfect! Below you can find evaluation of individual game elements and pros and cons.

There are some gripes to be had with this game for sure, however I do think that it was perhaps slightly underrated in some circles.

    If you are the type of player that hammers through a game's storyline then there will be much that you will miss in this game. It will not be for everyone and the gameplay loop has a few issues in terms of pacing and repetitiveness but overall there is a lot of fun to be had. The main issue for me in terms of pacing was that I tend to play games like this a certain way...build up, build up, build up focusing on developing character skills and the means of developing a solid steady income. The problem (if it is one) is that in this game I was at maximum skill level and abilities before leaving the first part of the game. There were lots of vehicles and parts to still unlock but combat-wise, by ignoring the story and building up and completing tons and tons of side missions, salvage locations, encounters and liberating camps and territories, Max was as strong as he was going to get way before reaching the more challenging stuff in the second part.

    The open world itself is often spectacular. The design of the camps and many, many of the scavenger locations dotted around the map are incredibly varied although the gameplay involved in taking them over or looting them is less so. This wouldn't be as much of an issue if the game were smaller in scale but there are so many of these locations that some will undoubtedly find them boring at some point.

    Driving and car combat is decent. Melee combat can be perhaps slightly more nuanced than mashing counter and attack...although that will get you through the majority of encounters. Yet as Max gains skills and abilities there is a bit more to the combat and fights can result in some pretty satisfying beat downs. However, boss fights are pretty much all the same...get some distance, wait for boss to charge, dodge roll, attack, hit with whatever that boss is weak against, dodge...runaway again and repeat. Every boss can be beaten this way and the only variety later in the game is that some bosses call in a few handfuls of minions to try spice up proceedings a little.

    People complain about the story, and I have to wonder if they have seen a Mad Max film because none of them are particularly noteworthy for their narrative. The game starts slow story wise, but by the end you get the Max you are expecting. Having said all that, I enjoyed it quite a bit and definitely got my money's worth out of it. If it had been slightly smaller in scope and slightly more varied and had one or two other minor niggles polished out I might have even gone a bit more than an 8...as it is it's pretty solid at what it does and worth a look if you pick it up on offer.    … Expand

    Underrated classic. A superior "Assassins creed"/"Far Cry"/"Watchdogs" style game but with more truly memorable characters, humour, and just plain fun than any of those games. Pick it up in a sale and you won't be disappointed.

    - Excellent driving and the wide variety car pimping upgrades worthy of the post-apocalypse (though it borders the illogical; after all, you can't change the entire body of the car mid-battle), and sick as hell car designs for both Max's and the enemies' that will make Mel Gibson glee in joy
    - Avalanche's trademark heavenly fire and explosion effects from their Just Cause series, coupled with authentic sound effects, that will make surely arouse Michael Bay, which is easily the most amazing sight in the game, and thankfully something you'll see all the time
    - The oh so glorious car combat, especially the convoy take-down side activities, which brings in the rush and awesomeness of Fury Road right in your face
    - The sick and satisfying melee combat in the vein of the Arkham games coupled with a few awesome moves like that one where you pierce that poor war boy with a thunderstick and let him explode in a glorious splatter, or that finisher where Max does the Black Widow neck twist, though not as complex and requiring of much timing and precision or strategy even than
    - Excellent character design, voice work and animation, and the fact that Max has unique dialogue for certain locations, except for those pathetic characters you meet in wasteland encounters who mumble an entirely different language
    - The pretty varied design (and the surprising complexity for some) of the loot locations, camps and stronghold which makes scouring each one of them less of a total grind, some of the most complex and intriguing of which are found in the farthest corners of the map
    - The history relic collectibles, some of which bring a true sense of loss and realization on my part that we might just be the one picking those same pictures one day
    - The deadly, excellently made and scary as fudge sandstorms that's not quite chaotic as that from 'Fury Road' but still crazy as fudge, that can literally send Max and his weak cars spiralling out of control
    - Dinky-di's pretty silly ability to bark and scare the crap out of landmines, so much so that they emerge from their deep sandy enclosures for Max to diffuse them
    - The awesome lens flare and aberration effects
    - When you get it, that absolutely epic moment when a sandstorm roars over as you fight the living crap out of warboys flipping their butts as you destroy those transfer tanks for the tenth time

    CONS:
    - The pretty weak and uninteresting story of Max fighting hoards of post-apocalyptic crazies just to pimp the hell out of his ride and finding peace in a world where the last thing you'll find is the p-word, coupled with generally uninteresting side characters that's basically there to give you fetch quests (which, come to think of it, is basically better than 'Fury Road' which isn't even really focused on Max himself but on Furiosa escaping with The Wives on the War Rig - incidentally on the game itself - then coming back to the Citadel)
    - The general open-world grind of icon extermination and collectathon, and the pretty strong sense of repetitiveness (including combat), which can get really tiring after hours of play (though still gets me excited to get back to after some rest)
    - The less than responsive counter system as compared to that of the Arkham or Middle-earth's, making you most likely to fail in getting that sweet 30+ combo counter and annoy you to the end of the Universe
    - The incredibly annoying death runs, featuring the archangel collectible cars that handle like crap and easily get destroyed with the slightest touch of the other cars' bumpers
    - The generally mediocre and uninteresting main and side mission design, generally comprising of driving for minutes on end, blowing up enemy cars along the way, reaching the objective point, kicking the crap out of everybody, maybe finding all collectibles in the area, and repeat
    - Max's sheer inability to jump even waist-freaking-high obstacles like he's carrying 500 pounds of fat within him when he can easily reach a yellow bar, which is unbelievably annoying
    - The utter uselessness of archangel car varieties, when you could just spend all your time upgrading your main magnum opus to an all around monster
    - Few bug annoyances, including enemies suddenly disappearing out into thin air, game elements not appearing properly, and the (quite frequent) crashing    … Expand

    So, my feelings on this game are so mixed. I want to give it a 10, but I also want to give it an 8. So I gave it a 9. It's best summarized this way: it's just SO MUCH FUN usually. Like Fallout, the Environment is the true star (at least so far, I'm 40 hours in) and the gameplay is just ok, but feels super fun. It just IS Mad Max.

It's best summarized this way: it's just SO MUCH FUN usually. Like Fallout, the Environment is the true star (at least so far, I'm 40 hours in) and the gameplay is just ok, but feels super fun. It just IS Mad Max.

    Good:

    Accomplishments: I love the screens when you dismantle enemy camps and do other objectives; I LOVE when a designer adds that extra zing to acknowledge what you have done.

    Atmosphere 10. Bonus: NAILS Mad Max.

    Fighting: 8. Fights are visceral and more nuanced that critics give it, but not that hard usually and a bit simpler than batman. Car battles are very exciting, again directly out of the movie.

    Fun Factor: Generally 10. It plays better than it is really is. If that makes sense. The game is really a solid 7 or 8 but "feels" like a 10 a lot of the time.

    Graphics: 10. I dk what engine this is, but it's gorgeous photorealistic eye candy on par with Frostbite and Lithtech.

    Level Design: 8. Each place feels very different even though there are obvious similarities. I never felt like they just carbon copied each location. Some of them really stunned me even after hours and hours of play. If after you dispatch the baddies you just love taking in the sights from a rusty walkway towering above the mountains overlooking a forlorn desert at nightfall, or the eerie survival horror of going down a ladder into a dark dungeon, it's good stuff. Never gets boring. Except for one criticism: it's great there are certain things that need to be crowbarred or stomped or exploded open, but there's rarely any mystery or strategy to it.

    Speech: Again, beautiful finished touches. Chumbucket never seems to run out of new things to say. Don't get me wrong. He repeats himself a lot. But just when I thought I heard it all, he says something new. Samething with the strongholds and Griffa. Haven't run out of new compliments or insults or insights. Amazing. I LOVE the developers put that level of care into it.

    ***

    Ok now the bad:

    Car: Some people claim the upgraded magnum opus is amazing. I've got 40 hours into the game and even the crappiest buggy can still outrun me no problem with fairly upgraded v6 stuff, when I'm driving perfectly on asphalt. Something's off here, but maybe I just need to figure it out.

    Confusing mechanics: It took me awhile to get certain concepts like how to listen to the dog barking (it makes diff noises) or watch for clues in the environment that something's there. Same thing with using the harpoon; I could highlight enemy tires but then not doing anything b/c the harpoon wasn't good enough but no warning.

    Constant Enemies: I don't understand how some people said there are no enemies to fight. Every 2 seconds, I'm just trying to explore or take care of an objective, I get overrun but highly armored annoying baddies. Don't get me wrong. Sometimes the random encounters are fun, but not every 2 minutes. By mid game it's just super annoying IMHO.

    Gameplay: Ok, critics bash the game for its rinse repeat nature. I liked it. Because relics tell the story of the Fall and other events, it made scavenging worthwhile. I mean, it's basically Fallout in MM. That said, there are few things that could use improvement: (1) a penalty for dying? other than pride? (2) once you build strongholds, scrap and ammo accumulates to the point there's no point scavenging anything except for relics; the fact that strongholds give you bonuses is awesome but also ultimately detracts from the horror survival aspect (3) more realism (see below) (4) you can use fast travel to escape certain death; they might want to restrict it (yeah yeah I know, I can always restrict it myself, still...) (5) combat is very good, but not quite all the way there yet.

    Map: UGH! The water markers constantly disappear off it unless you're near. I can't tell you how annoying this is. You need water as a med kit and they hide it from you. Even after you discover it. But not always. It's random.

    OCD: Critics nailed it that sometimes trying to loot each location is an OCD nightmare. Most times its really fun to explore every nook and cranny but sometimes I HAD to go to the internet to find it.

    Realism: Yeah um right. Ok, I get it. You're Mad Max, but you can drive off a cliff and suffer no damage. You can also get run over a car a few times. Head on. I mean, if they animated you dodging aside at the last minute or something maybe.

    Storms: The big storm was a great idea that in truth is a terrible idea. You get like 10 seconds warning, and then it's often impossible to find cover in time. Your car is safe but it's not. You can't heal in your car. And then enemies, immune to the storm themselves, often find and attack you in the middle of it. (silver lining) I found you can fast travel at will and avoid it.

    I really enjoyed this game, traveling around the wastes, building a super car from scraps is something I liked very much and the melee combat was also well put together. It can get a bit repetitive, so I didn't try to do everything, but by following the story line and not doing the large amount of repetitive side quests there is a lot of brutal fun to be had.

    This is - by far - the most beautiful desertscape in PC gaming i have seen yet. Considering it is a desert - the diversity and detail is quite stunning. The detail does come at a price though. Similar to Fallout 4, which is much more detailed than Fallout NV - the world feels uncomfortably small for some reason.

Similar to Fallout 4, which is much more detailed than Fallout NV - the world feels uncomfortably small for some reason.

    Yes - driving through the entire map does take a long time indeed ... but still ... it always breaks my immersion when i see hostile factions the size of what cannot be much more than a small town sitting right next to each other ... actually so close that a sharpshooter with a good rifle could probably and easily kill every single enemy in the neighbouring camp.

    But enough of that....

    The mission design and gameplay is pretty standard. Missions progress the story and unlock "stuff" .. but the game itself is kind of open world. I have not had a dreaded escort mission or a timed mission - so i do not know if they exist of how they play - so far i had the typical destroy everything missions or collect item missions - which are simple by mission design but allowing a great tactical freedom in terms of how to conduct them.

    Camp design is more based on gameplay than on logic - and usually pretty linear. There is sufficient variety not to get too bored - but all in all .. the random camps are nothing special.
    The AI is fun - but VERY casual so far. Dealing with hordes of enemies on foot feels rediculous. Enemies wait to engage you and allow themselves to be picked one by one to be killed. Compared to a simiplar gameplay like Far Cry 3/4 ... the AI is rather on the retarded side. Of course it is rather a melee game than a shooter .. and the melee is a "light" version of the Batman franchise consisting of punches and timed blocks.

    Lets just say - it is sufficient but far from special.

    The car combat is a lot more fun and also more tactical. That does not mean it is very hard by any stretch of the imagination. It is however unique enough to feel fresh every now and then. Car AI follows fairly predictable patterns though - and the NPCs do not surprise you much.

    A huge compliment goes to the technical optimization. For how the game looks - it runs .. and there is no other term ... absolutely amazing. Fluent gameplay on low end computers (with occasional slow downs though)
    Also the feeling of the car in the desert is absolutely amazing. The sense of weight, torque, grip, impact and force has been done amazingly well. I cannot remember any other game as immersive in terms of visuals and controls when it comes to car driving physics. Sure - the phyiscs are not real - but they feel very good indeed.

    For me - a major teardrop is always when i cannot "pick" and customize my avatar in such a game. I would have loved to have the option to customize my character (gender, looks etc. ) - but it is just a very tiny thing. (and yes - i know ... it is Mad MAX - so it is quite self explanatory to play as the titular protagonist)

    All in all a VERY good game that does not invent anything - but does whats done by many games before ... very well.    … Expand

    EN/ A successful open world game in the Mad Max universe. To survive, you will steal anything you can need from your enemies, kill them, and if necessary, you will eat maggots of their corps to survive. Law and rules are invalidated in this world. Those who wants to survive, will need a strong Will, and a highly customized car. Shoot on enemy vechicles with rockets (not realy a rocket), fish the enemy driver out of his vechicle with a wired harpune, etc..., there are plenty of ways to finish them off. It will also happen a lot that you will have to fight with your fists. In fact, Max is the good guy in this world, but it feels like that he is the baddest guy around... If you like opne world games with racing elements and a lot of explosions, then Mad Max won't be a bad choice at least.

    DE/ Ein gelungenes Open World Spiel im Mad Max Universum. Zum überleben stiehlt Max von seinen Gegnern alles was er so gebrauchen kann, tötet sie, und ggf. isst er Maden aus deren Leichen um zu überleben. Gesetze und Regeln sind in dieser Welt außer Kraft gesetzt. Wer überleben will, braucht einen starken Willen, und ein aufgemotztes Auto. Schieß die gegnerischen Fahrzeuge mit Raketen (ist zwar nicht 100% akkurat) ab, oder angel den gegnerischen Fahrer einfach mit einer Seil-Harpune aus seinem Fahrzeug, oder oder oder, es gibt so viel Möglichkeiten die gegner außer Gefecht zu setzen. Es kommt auch sehr häufig vor dass du mit deinen Fäusten zuschlagen musst. Eigentlich ist Max ja der gute in dieser Welt, aber irgendwie ist er auch der bösartigste.... Wer Open World Spiele mit Rennelementen und vielen Explosionen mag, macht mit Mad Max zumindest nichts falsch.

    JP/ マッドマックスの世界観を舞台にした中々に出来の良いオープンワールドゲーム。生き残るために主人公のマックスは敵さんから使えるものは全て頂戴し、そして殺し、はたまた必要であれば敵さんの死体に湧くウジ虫を食べたりもする。法やルールといったものはもはや存在しないこの世界。この世界で生き残るには強い意志と、ハイレベルに改造された車が必要となる。敵をロケット（紛い物だがｗ）で撃ったり、敵ドライバーを縄銛で車から引きずり下ろす等々・・、敵さんを倒す方法はそれなりにあります。拳だけを頼りに敵と殴り合わないといけない場面もかなり用意されています。本来主人公のマックスがこの世界のいいやつ役なんだろうが、場合によってはこの世界で最凶最悪の男にも見えてしまう。本来オープンワールドのゲームが好きで、それに加えレースや大量の爆発といった要素が好きな方であれば、マッドマックスを購入することにより損をすることはないと思う。

    Pro/良い点
    +Good graphics/グラが良い。
    +Large open world/広大なオープンワールド
    +Can be obtained relatively cheap/比較的安く手に入る。
    +A lot of different ways to fight with your car/車を使った戦闘で多様な戦い方が出来る。

On the positive theyLet me combust this review with some much appreciated adoration, in my eyes this title is a Thunderbird V8 after the grease has been baptized from ones sight..a true blessing from the angel Combustion! Games based on movie franchises & also ones developed for as many platforms possible, are more often than not lackluster at most and as a sad fact are expected to be so. On the positive they initially remain free from the pestilent hype, which in this pre apocalyptic era serves us a platter of maggots promised as gourmet a-la-king.This is one of the few games which not only controls
    well but performs flawlessly, with almost non existant loading screens on all platforms and most of
    all is a whole grease ball full of open-world carnage.

    You start out as Max, and he is kind of Mad after losing everything recently including his iconic gas guzzler the black on black as well! The characters he initially meets shares a common familiarity with the protagonist and that's one of being forsaken and scrounging around in the dunes creating their
    own reasons to make life worth clinging on to.Like a dog who is left astray named after a can of dog food
    named Dink-Di, witch sole purpose is sniffing out landmines after being left crippled. The characters all
    seem to fit and are initially well developed considering the theme. If you are playing the game expecting a blockbuster story you would be sorely missing the point, watch the first Mad Max & Mad Max : Fury Road movies for that. The main quests wont leave you laboring for weeks, yet there is so much more
    to do in this game if you choose to do so and you are well rewarded for it. Npc interactions are few yet
    alleviated by your mechanic companion which is one of the most interestingly developed and easily
    creeps into ones heart with his black fingers.

    You start out with a rusty frame with some wheels and an engine, from their on out its up to you how
    you want to create your new ride.Everything from choosing the chassis to the particular specs are left
    up to the player. Would you like to soar over the dunes in a lightweight speed demon or command a
    heavily armored bulldozer leaving burning wrecks of metal & fuel in its wake? The deep & meaningful customization is a very nice touch and to me is where the game design excels.Survival elements also
    play a part via the scarcity of health & ammo yet it's so rewarding to not die when one survives a seemingly hopeless encounter with pure skill and a tad of luck. Preparations is key but no matter of preparation can save you from a sandstorm in the middle of infiltrating an enemy encampment and one
    is often forced to think on your feet. Enemy types does seem a bit lacking but I cant say that about the vehicles I encountered which is varied.Some innovative mechanics such as enemy vehicles that can be and can be commandeered and then salvaged for a large scrap reward by shooting an harpoon into the driver and safely "extracting' him from his vehicle.The game is well optimized and has some of the best day/night cycles ive ever sawn.Not to mention the variations in terrain and added little details like fuel dripping burningly onto the ground from your exhaust, tracks & dust clouds left imprinted on the dunes, whirlwinds and sandstorms throwing a wrench into your plans when you least expect it.This game is full of such details & random little moments of great fun which acts as quicksand of immersion.

    Some minor stomach aches may exist with the controls like press this button to climb & whatnot, yet its a minor setback for the control's being so well done for PC as well as Controllers. I'm also aware of
    of some negativity surrounding the plethora of task's becoming repetitive yet the game never forces you to do so as its completely optional, but I understand the struggle a completionist would "enjoy' in this world as it quite large witch is a plus for me.

    Pants of to Warner Brothers which created epic property's that so loved that it inspires developers creative wings to no end, as proven by releases such as the Batman Arkham series, Shadow of Mordor and now Mad max.    … Expand

    Put off buying this because of the average reviews. They're all wrong. It is Just Cause Mad Max edition. Developed by the team behind Just Cause. Its a literal sand box. I've always avoided car combat games because i find them so boring. This game was a breath of fresh air. Be sure to double tap Up D-Pad for first person view when fighting cars. Its immersive and rewarding.

    I got it on sale, but still, given the fun I've had, I wouldn't have minded paying the full price.

    This game isn't perfect, though. I really missed stuff like those huge concentrations of enemy vehicles in pursuit, like in the movies... The Good: -Overall, the game has beautiful graphics, with some exceptions (more on that later). -It runs like butter. -Like the rest of WB games    I got it on sale, but still, given the fun I've had, I wouldn't have minded paying the full price.

    This game isn't perfect, though. I really missed stuff like those huge concentrations of enemy vehicles in pursuit, like in the movies...

    The Good:
    -Overall, the game has beautiful graphics, with some exceptions (more on that later).
    -It runs like butter.
    -Like the rest of WB games I've played (Batman saga, Shadow of Mordor), it's very stable and has very few bugs.
    It still has a couple of clamorous bugs, though (more on that later)
    -Pretty decent voice acting, Chumbucket is pretty hilarious sometimes.
    -Pretty decent progression mechanics, vehicle and character upgrades, stronghold upgrades, etc.
    -Driving through the wasteland with the Magnum Opus, laying waste to enemy camps and chasing convoys is pretty sick. But, as I said, I missed certain things (more on that later).
    -Combat is savage and enjoyable, although with certain limitations (more on that later)
    -The game has very nice touches like massive and deadly sandstorms, survival elements which include eating worms from corpses, keeping your canteen and fuel tank filled, etc. Thunderpoons are also sick.

    The Bad:
    -The main story is perhaps too short. So much important stuff happens so fast, without really giving the story time to build up for the big moments.

    -Repetitive grind. This isn't an issue for me, since I don't mind grinding in games that I like. However, you might get tired of clearing enemy camps and collecting loot in repetitive ways. Personally, I didn't get tired since I took it as part of the experience.

    -This game lacks those huge concentrations of enemy vehicles from the movies, it's pretty scarcely populated, overall. "Large" concentrations of enemy vehicles are limited to convoys and war parties, and even then, those are pretty small (less than 10 vehicles).

    -The game is way too easy. Very little challenge overall, plus the Magnum Opus is essentially indestructible.
    Combat is pretty straightforward, it's essentially the same combat system fround in other WB games like the Batman saga and Shadow of Mordor. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since I quite like to keep it simple sometimes, it's just too easy, that's all.
    At least in the Batman saga there was challenge introduced by the sheer number of enemies. In this game you'll find concentrations of up to 12 enemies, with some variation, that's about all the challenge you'll get...

    -The game lacks combat gore for my taste. No dismemberment, beheadings, etc. There are plenty of gore elements scattered around the map, tons of corpses impaled on scarecrows, rotten corpses pretty much everywhere, truly disgusting body piles, etc., but there's almost no gore in combat. Just painful combos.

    -Absence of fear effects in combat. Enemy cars do run away after getting overpowered by the player, but that doesn't happen in combat, which is a real pity. In Shadow of Mordor, it was delicious to make orcs panic by massacring their mates...in this game, you can only do that when riding the Magnum Opus.

    -I've found a couple of game breaking bugs, sadly.
    There's a camp in Pink Eye's territory called Havoc Point. This camp can't be cleared in the usual way because the door is bugged. So you have to find a workaround for it.

    There's another bug that makes one of the scarecrows disappear as you approach it, so it can't be destroyed. I think it's located in Pink Eye's too, on top of a destroyed highway overpass.

    The Ugly:

    -Low polygon rock models in several places, which are masked with dark textures, in order to give the impression of grooves where there are none. Well, I NOTICED! And I don't approve of lousy 3D modelling work! XD.
    -Low polygon chains, which basically consist of two lines of flat chain textures, arranged in a cross pattern. This was common practice in the 90s and early 2000s, but it's 2016 already, chains must be modelled with the same level of detail as the rest of stuff, otherwise what's the point?

    -Most npcs that you encounter throughout the game are basically clones of three or four character models.
    This is common practice in a lot of games, but it's still ridiculous and detracts from the experience.
    Also, most enemies are clones too. Sure there are different kinds of enemies, with different weapons, skills and armors, but they are all based on the same few models, making the game suck when it shouldn't.
    It's like Shadow of Mordor, where all slaves were basically clones, unlike the orcs, which were pretty diverse and well modelled. It's sad to see games with so much potential being ruined by npc cloning.

    That's pretty much all the stuff I could think of.
    Overall, I definitely recommend this game to all Mad Max fans and people looking to have a savage time raiding the post-apocalyptic wastelands in a sick Magnum Opus.    … Expand

    The Mad Max game is a sandbox driving and brawling game that authentically recreates the look and feel of the films.

Journey with theThe Mad Max game is a sandbox driving and brawling game that authentically recreates the look and feel of the films. Max has lost his signature V8 Pursuit Special to thieving Warboys led by the unfortunately named Scabrous Scrotus, and teams up with a crippled but gifted mechanic named Chumbucket, who has a vision from on high to create the perfect car: the Magnum Opus. Journey with the pair across the dried shores of a forgotten land, doing a handful of story missions and a whole heaping load of optional content. The driving physics are excellent. Those complaining about stubborn handling don't realize that the cars in Mad Max handle like actual cars- they have weight, friction, impact. You can customize the Magnum Opus to your liking, unlocking new internals and offensive attachments as you gather scrap, the game's currency, and reduce the threat level of the Warboys in each of the four major regions by destroying convoys, scarecrow markers, sniper nests and war camps. Where the Opus doesn't fit, Max can lay into his enemies with brutal hand-to-hand maneuvers, in a system not unlike the Batman: Arkham games but far less in-depth. While simply mashing attack will get you through the early fights, good use of blocks, counters and dodges will be needed later. I found the game oddly similar to Star Trek Online in this regard: while you spend much more time driving, the on foot segments will quickly make you wish you were back in the Opus. On the road, your combat options are far more powerful, and diverse: in addition to ramming enemies, with the option of using boost to enhance damage, you have a side-slam move identical to that seen in Sleeping Dogs, though it is far less effective here when compared to your other options: side flamethrowers, a harpoon that can rip wheels off cars or drivers out of the cars completely, explosive-tipped harpoons that annihilate cars outright, and of course, Max's trusty shotgun- capable of blowing a wheel off a car just as easily as it will one-shot any normal enemy while on foot. The sound quality is incredible. The shotgun makes just about the loudest bang I've ever heard in a game and when you FINALLY get your hands on the coveted "Big Chief" V8 engine near the endgame, you will hear its sublime roar and feel blessed. Dotted throughout the game are callbacks to the films, including the much-beloved Thunderdome. I cruised around the wastes for hours, only wishing the game had some better music. Mad Max succeeds where it needed to the most: Putting you in the driver's seat of the most deadly, awe-inspiring metal machine left on earth. Where it falls short is in a similar area to other "open-world" games- It is, in fact, TOO big a game. I clocked in over 60 hours and, if i were to be generous, perhaps 5 hours of that are actual story missions. Most of the game, as with Avalanche's flagship series Just Cause, is made up of optional content and there are only so many types of these activities, though the Death Run race events stand out. I found myself tuning out during long stretches of collectible farming, eventually resorting to binge-watching tv shows on netflix with the game volume turned down while I knocked activity icons off my map one by one. However, whenever I got back in the Opus, heard that engine, hit the boost, watched that blinding blue flame issue from my chrome pipes and slammed right into some unsuspecting warboy's pathetic scrapheap of a car, I remembered what I was playing and why. Mad Max is not a boring game by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a loooong one, and it has some slow stretches. Regardless, I enjoyed the better part of it- and the better part of it made me feel like I was in a world gone Mad.… Expand

The world is huge, the references to the movie series are great, the ambiance is fantastic (you actually feel like in a apocalyptic environment), car combat is awesome, fighting combat is good, most of the main and side missions are fun, the story is ok.
    But if you try to complete your stats the game becomes boring and repetitive.
    The story starts great but it get´s lost for most of the game, there isn´t a clear goal on most of the missions besides gaining new stats or equipment improvement.    … Expand

    Is it a bad game? Absolutely not. On the contrary, Ubisoft's open-world template is perfect for churning out market-friendly games that tick all the boxes of "What People Want." Or, perhaps, "What You Want."...And honestly, Mad Max's formula is still to some extent "What I Want." Just not as much as a few years ago.

    Mad Max is this year’s equivalent of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – a really decent open world game that will not disappoint the fans of the franchise and will win over some undecided gamers, but will not be inducted into the industry’s hall of fame alongside Skyrim, GTA, Black Flag or The Witcher 3.

    Mad Max is a missed opportunity. The exceptional depiction of the Wasteland, the chaotic nature of the post-apocalyptic society, the excellent technical qualities and thrilling vehicle fights are held back by the mundane melee combat mechanics, the loose story, the repetitive nature of secondary objectives and the overall low-level challenge.
