    The most underrated game of 2015, I've played it for 40Hrs. The 40hrs full of action madness with post-apocalypse immersion makes this game feels like devs really love their jobs

    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.

    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.

    Extremely stunning gameplay with attractive graphics. Good story and acceptable characterization.
    These are the elements of mad max victory

    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.

    On the negative side, the fighting gets repetitive really fast, so I kind of get how non-casuals might not like this as much. 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

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

    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.

    К сожалению графика местами даёт слабину ибо игре 7 лет. Но всё равно игра не выглядит совсем пососно. В игре очень большие проблемы с детализацией и геометрией.

    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

    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

    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 is highly formulaic, and hence repetitive, and yet it still manages to be undeniably fun thanks to its immersive sights and sounds and bloody combat. However, it's one of those games that you play once and then uninstall. I personally don't think such games are worth full price, not when the content is so repetitive, so I'd wait for a sale.

    Five Word Review: Much underrated open-world action.
    Favorite Thing: Love the vehicle gameplay, they did such a good job of it.
    Least Favorite Thing: The open-world activities can get repetitive fast, best to ignore them as much as possible.

    Playtime: ~ 27h
    Enjoyment: 8/10
    Recommendation: Definitely, don't listen to those foolish reviewers.

There were, however, a few minor annoyances. It was hard to see anything in dark locations even with the flashlight and the hand-to-hand combat was tedious after halfway through. In addition, many upgrades to the car and Max are gated behind main story progress so one can't really prepare itself by doing side-quests or collecting stuff upfront. The cars handled relatively well with keyboard and mouse, except in races were I found it difficult to make small adjustments and ended up facing backwards too many times.

    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

    that said, I looked at the worst magazine/online review from a "professional" publication, which was IGN. read the thing and thought that all the cons listed would be things I could generally cope with, IF ONLY THE VEHICULAR COMBAT WERE ANY GOOD!

    after that, I checked, whether the PC port were okay, thought it and quickly came to realize my favourite youtuber, "TotalBiscuit", had just uploaded a "port report" and it said it were an exceptionally great port!

    last, but not least, I searched for a cheaper key and found one without any hassle. for the small price of only 17€ ($19) I immediately took the deal. it's not even some ominous RUssian key, which would require using a VPN to install and play, but an ordinary worldwide accepted key. I don't do RU keys anymore!

    so, what to expect abnout the game? dunno what YOU should expect - I for once was just wishing for decent vehicular combat, or "car fights", for my idiotic friends from America. ;)
    the last, perhaps even the ONLY game, which had pulled those off adequately, is

    "INTERSTATE '76"

    and that game had been released in 1997 or '96, if I remember correctly. I think it was spring 1997. anyway, until that game was released, there hadn't been any games pulling vehicular combat right. also, it was the dawning age of "3D accellerator cards". :) (Diamond Monster anyone?)
    unfortunately, after "Interstate '76", there hasn't been ANY games even trying to implement vehicular combat - not counting tanks!

    "Mad Max" at least tries it and where it tries, it succeeds. the graphics and performance, as well as the sound design and art style are VERY good; the melee combat is just the same "dumbed down" bullcrap that everybody knows from the "Assassin's Creed" franchise, nothing special, but not too bad. it fulfills its purpose. thze biggest strengths of the game are the driving and the vehicular combat. also, its graphical fidelity, which is really high and the port is one of the best ever!
    you can check my other reviews on metacritic and you will see, I am not one to give out praise easily!

    where the game is lacking is the story!
    side missions are quickly becomming boring and the main quest is sub par as well, then again, all the "Mad Max" movies NEVER had a particularly great story and this title clearly is no gamechanger.

    I give it 8/10 points and recommend either waiting for a sale, or searching a key shop, where you buy it for around 20 $/€.
    if I would have had paid 50 or even 60 $/€, I would have been a bit disapointed, I have to admit. but just a little, better say, I would be "underwhelmed", maybe,..

    summarizing it up, long story short: if you search for VEHICULAR COMBAT, this game pulls it off quite nicely!
    fans of the "Mad Max" franchis will probably be satisfied as well, I guess... (?);
    people, who always thought, "if my Ass. Creed only had cars to drive around...(and onto towers)"will be happy with it, I guess - even though I haven't found ANY towers in Mad Max yet... so they might hate it for that reason... I have no idea how Assassin's Creed fanboys/MORONS think, so who can tell.

    I give it 8/10 - if they patch in some more things, put even more focus on the vehicular combat in the future,. and/or release some actually GOOD story DLC, I might revise my review and give it even more than these innitial 8/10 points.    … Expand

    Gameplay is great, fist fighting is fun, car fighting is hard if you don't scavenge for scrap. It tries to extend the game time with the need of scavenging. After a few hours of i got tired and had to cheat some scrap to get rid of boredom.

    For 10-11 EURO it is a must buy.

    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

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Have you ever been looking for a great mixture of Batman, Shadow of Mordor, Rage, and GTA? Here you go. Graphics are stunning (including the most beautiful, realistic sky I have seen so far, dynamic day-and-night-cycle), controls are easy (fighting mechanics are the same as in Batman, SOM), driving is.. well you can get used to it pretty fast. Upgrading your Magnum Opus from the very start is amazingly motivating: Beginning with nothing else than a steel-skeleton with a tiny V6-engine, you soon upgrade it to something big and beautiful- EVERY SINGLE ENGINE UPGRADE IS (not only) visible, but AUDIBLE! I got my goosebumps when I finally mounted the V8-engine. The sound alone makes it worth trying the game. The story is 10/10 (not as bad as I expected). Even though Max is keeping his unsocial, rough manners through the whole story, he still is very believable. His mind and soul are broken and nothing can change this.

    Sidequests are mostly repetetive and boring, but the main quests are gold.    … Expand

    Mad Max
    A game about picking up litter.
    I joke, but that’s essentially what this game is. You start the game losing your precious black on black, and it’s up to you, because who else is gonna help you? To get it back. Maybe a hunchback with magical black fingers will help since he believes you’re essentially the Dragonborn. You set out on your journey for redemption with the entire    Mad Max

    I joke, but that’s essentially what this game is.
    You start the game losing your precious black on black, and it’s up to you, because who else is gonna help you?
    To get it back.
    Maybe a hunchback with magical black fingers will help since he believes you’re essentially the Dragonborn.
    You set out on your journey for redemption with the entire world full of scrap metal at your disposal.
    Having to live off of small water pumps, maggots, lizards, and dog food.
    Offering yourself to stronghold leaders in return of some help to continue your quest.
    Mad Max is a massive open world with well over 50 hours of content.
    The good or the bad is that this massive world is just that.. a massive world that stays the same, keeps the same rules from beginning all the way til the end.
    By the rules of the game staying the same since the start, the world feels even more as one,
    you’re introduced to everything that the game is going to throw at you very early on
    but the downside of this is that it’s easy to feel repetitive…. After a while you’ll realize, wait a minute…
    No matter what I do, I’m really just going to location after location and picking up its collectibles and killing all of the bad guys there and doing it over and over and over until the credits roll.
    A side mission, a main mission, scavenge locations, it doesn’t matter, it’s the same thing.. collect scrap, kill everything there.
    Luckily though, you have to really concentrate on the repetitiveness to notice it, because while the world of mad max is one giant collectathon, the locations are surprisingly unique considering the game takes place in a desert.
    I actually loved exploring the open world, it never felt to me like the design team got lazy.
    If you stop to just soak in your surroundings, you may actually find them to be quite beautiful.
    Even the devastation and destruction is beautiful.
    Without warning you’ll see a dark cloud approaching you, and you know you have to find shelter fast,
    The skies are about to get dark, the wind is about to pick up, and lighting is going strike the ground around you.
    The storms are terrifying, but bring so much excitement to the game, really adding a layer of immersion to an already super immersive game.
    After a storm has passed you can set out into the world to find scrap crates it blew around or get back to looting.
    While this really is just a game about map cleaning like assassins creed has become, there is reason to the mad maxness.
    The scrap is used for upgrades.
    You get scraps from exploding enemy cars, from scavenging, upgrading strongholds, and constantly like a bank system by claiming enemy camps, which is done by clearing them of their leader, fighters, or by destroying their pumps or tanks inside.
    You can freely upgrade max, your weapons, or your car as you level up and decrease the threat in each territory.
    You decrease threat by eliminating snipers, claiming camps, pulling down scarecrows, taking out convoys, and defusing landmines.
    and You level up by completing combat, environmental, and car based challenges.
    Leveling up really happens for the most part naturally.
    Car combat is surprisingly fun, you can rip off doors, tires, explode tanks, or just ram into opponents until they explode or run away.
    Hand to hand combat is a less satisfying version of the arkham games.
    Mad max on foot and in combat feels very stiff. So think skyrim in 3rd person but with batman style prompts. The camera doesn’t pull out like in batman, which can lead to some hits that feel pretty cheap since the enemy is off camera.
    enemies do die quickly in hand to hand, so weapons aren’t all too necessary outside of completing challenges and luckily neither is your shotgun.
    And I say luckily because you can only hold 2 shotgun shells with you in the beginning until you upgrade yourself to being able to carry a whopping 7
    Making the shotgun really only useful for hard to reach collectibles.
    But then there’s the racing, the sections that if you’re like me you’re not going to enjoy even a little.
    They’re cheap, luck based, physics don’t exist, your car seemingly has no weight, and handling in this game sucks, there’s a particular spot in the game where you die almost instantly from the never ending enemy cars in this quote unquote race that seem to do nothing but hinder you and are given a laughable 6 minute time limit to try and take out a larger truck.
    And for some reason when you’re about to deal the killing blow, you will start locking on enemies behind you instead.
    Mad Max breaks in the spots it needs to work most.
    The racing in general and this section sprinkled into the main story really ruin what otherwise is a decently fun and relaxing experience.
    It becomes a frustratingly cheap ps2 era time trial out of nowhere.
    Luckily races are optional…but the one I had issue with the most unfortunately isn’t
    While mad max stays the same game from hour 1 until hour 80, you’ll find yourself enjoying every second lost in this desert world claiming it for your own as you set out for a bit of revenge.
    The racing sections though, not so much.

    For me the first hour game play was ok but after 2 hours and upgrades done the game really does shine again if you are thinking of purchasing and like anything post apocalyptic then its worth the buy ....

    Good work avalanche studios about time there was a great wasteland game sure loot could be more in depth and car combat more in depth too but this would have been too complicated for some so i assume was dumbed down a little ......

    very nice game, good looking open world, with a lot of people in it, without being surpopulated, that's what i'd call a well-done open world (sounded better in my head)
    the character moves smoothly, pretty god realization, good optimization.
    same world system than a farcry, even if i would have wished more weapons ...

The fighting is alot like batmans (which when came out everyone was like omg this combat so fun) but some people dont like it too much. I wish there were some more different animations in the ground fighting but either way its still spam left click and right click. The car combat is where things are the most fun for me. Overall the game wasnt too hard, but it wasnt too easy. They did well by not letting you run around like you had adamantium bones and driving a tank. The different zones were a nice change. I dont necessarily like how the whole zone looked so similar, but it was a good job on giving each zone a new look and still fitting within the wasteland feel.… Expand

    Good game that respect the original material.

    Fans of movie quadrilogy will find lots of easter egg , good acting that are in line with the francise, and a visual appealing Wasteland.
    The player will feel heat, peculiar people and desolation and lots of sadness-violence of a world gone mad.
    But..after some hours (at least 15 out of 40 or more) the game became less interesting because of repetitve gameplay and recycled content.
    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). Also Inventory, enemy type, and rpg aspects of the game are limited.... but it does not spoil the fun overall.
    It's a good made game to look out when on sale for Mad Max Fans....other player can lower the meta-score score a little.    … 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。

    Con/悪い点
    -Relatively repeatative missions/比較的似たミッションの繰り返しが多い。
    -No coop or multi player/コープやマルチプレイが出来ない。
    -The main story is rather short. The game lives from the side quests/本編は比較的短く、サイドミッションに生かされてる印象。

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

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

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

    - 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 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

    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.

    Gráficamente está bien, es divertido, mundo abierto con muuchas cosas por hacer: coleccionables, completar campamentos, limpiar campos de minas, mucho secundario en resumen. Lo que le echaría en cara sería más misiones de la trama principal, que al final se quedan en pocas si no haces otras tareas/misiones secundarias. Lo recomiendo.

    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

    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

    Mad Max is probably the single most, 'I'll just do one more mission - still playing many hours later' games ever. Time vanishes. What you thought was maybe forty-five minutes, was four hours. I think part of the reasoning behind this is because it's repetitive in every way. I am surprised it doesn't get more criticism for this. Everywhere just about looks the same.

What you thought was maybe forty-five minutes, was four hours. I think part of the reasoning behind this is because it's repetitive in every way. I am surprised it doesn't get more criticism for this. Everywhere just about looks the same. The camps which you clear are all similar. Scavenging destinations are all similar.

    The really only parts that are not all similar are the main missions. However there are not many of those.

    Mad Max has other issues too. The engine-exhaust noise of the car is diabolical. I wear headphones and it screams albeit mid pitched (not high pitched) almost all the way through. I play on speakers too and it's as bad. Only later when you get the V8 engine is car noise acceptable.

    It is unfortunately nothing more than a long grind, and is possibly the grinder of all grinders. Salvage scrap, unlock upgrades, use scrap as currency to upgrade. From start to finish that is all you do.

    It has plus points. It often looks good. Bosses are all the same technique: wait for charge, dodge, attack for a bit; repeat. In other words there is no googling every boss encounter because you can't work out what to do. Gameplay is straight-forward. In fact all the gameplay is relatively easy. It's filled out by there simply being masses of it.

    Although I mark it 7/10 I could not in all honesty say to a friend, "You must buy Mad Max". Meaning no recommendation. However if you are fully aware of its format, you will have fun maybe half the time playing it.    … Expand

    Mad Max is an open world brawler made by the devs behind the Just Cause series. If you've played any of the Batman games you'll be familiar with the combat system as it's very similar, and while it doesn't massively improve upon the formula it does implement it very well. You have your standard light attack, heavy attack, parry and dodge, but on top of that you also have brutal knifeMad Max is an open world brawler made by the devs behind the Just Cause series. If you've played any of the Batman games you'll be familiar with the combat system as it's very similar, and while it doesn't massively improve upon the formula it does implement it very well. You have your standard light attack, heavy attack, parry and dodge, but on top of that you also have brutal knife finishers which you can perform while carrying knives which are found throughout the game, there are many different kill animations depending on the angle you attack from and they're all very satisfying to pull off and watch. As well as knife finishers you also have Fury kills which are equally visceral and are performed on weak enemies while in Fury mode which is activated once you fill your Fury meter. The combat is definitely the best thing about the game, it's very fluid and just done well, as you upgrade Max you unlock more skills that allow you to pull off even more devastating moves.

    As is the trend these days in open world games there are icons all over the map with optional content that add nothing to the game, and even hurts the overall experience I'd argue as tedium does start to set in after awhile, at least it did for me. I would like to see most, if not all of the pointless scrap locations removed if they ever make a sequel, and I would urge the devs to avoid reusing the territory system which is extremely boring, you are basically doing the exact same checklist of objectives over and over just in different zones, it got boring about half way through. Now in stark contrast the side quests and especially the main story are both fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed them, had the game had more content like that instead of the filler fluff it would have gone from being merely good to great. Another area where the devs really shot themselves in the foot was the Top Dogs who acted as bosses throughout the game, after you kill the first one you're thinking “wow, that was cool” but later you come to realize every Top Dog is exactly the same, just with a different name and a palette swap. If Avalanche make a sequel I would like to see unique bosses instead of the same one recycled 20 times.

    Other than the pointless fluff content, the biggest issue with the game is the car handling, it's really, really bad. I can't stress enough just how much the car handling hurt my overall experience. Even a fully upgraded Magnum Opus (your car) will spin out of control for seemingly no reason, and God forbid you clip a bucket or something equally insignificant while moving at speed, this will send you into an uncontrollable tailspin. And that's the Magnum Opus, other vehicles you're forced to drive for quests and races handle much worse.

    Now the game does do a lot right as well, the cut-scenes are fantastic, helped massively by some top quality voice work. The game also looks stunning, and it runs almost perfectly on PC, I say almost because there is an issue where you will micro freeze for a split second infrequently, I have confirmed this with at least 20 other people who all have the same problem. Other than that blip the game runs at 60fps on max settings without issue, and you don't need a GTX 980 to pull it off, it's extremely well optimised for a wide range of configurations.

    In closing I will say I enjoyed the game and I definitely recommend it, maybe not at full price but if it's ever on sale I would snap it up for sure. Just don't get sucked into the fluff content as it will fatigue you by the time you get to the end of the game.    … Expand

    A decent main story with solid gameplay and great optimisation, but it falls prey to the whole 'ticking off a checklist' feel when it comes to a lot of the side content. Sure, this adds more hours to the experience, but there are more interesting ways to fill up a game than what Mad Max offers.

    To make it short, good looking, fun to play the first 30 hours and after that you realize that you're doing the same things over and over. There are good customizations too and honestly, the game worth the try. But to give you a good example, i've finished 55% of the global progression in about 65 hours, too damn long when you want to do everything on the map...

    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.
