Un gameplay accessible mais profond qui évolue tout au long du développement des capacités du véhicule et du personnage. Un monde ouvert désertique impressionnant qui invite constamment le joueur à l'exploration. Et surtout, malgré une certaine redondance, un réel plaisir de jeu : des affrontements semblables aux Batman de Rocksteady en phase pédestre, et jouissifs au volant du Magnum Opus.
    Pour qui aime l'univers de Mad Max, le jeu tutoie l'idéal.

    I just purchased Mad Max new for $20 after selling Red Dead Redemption 2 used for $20. I enjoyed the graphical and narrative depth of RDR2, the ridiculous level of detail is insane, but I just couldn't commit the massive amounts of time required to complete the often times, very mundane objectives and gameplay. I liked it, I liked it a lot actually, but I wasn't having fun playing it. RDR2I just purchased Mad Max new for $20 after selling Red Dead Redemption 2 used for $20.

I liked it, I liked it a lot actually, but I wasn't having fun playing it. RDR2 felt tedious more than it felt fun, and this was always one of my grievances with the otherwise brilliant Death Stranding. Mad Max was a game I wanted since it came out 8 years ago. That may seem like a long time ago but consider Grand Theft Auto V and Skyrim are nearly 13 years old. So I came across a rare instance of Mad Max brand new and finally decided to purchase it. Holy crap am I an idiot for not buying it sooner. This game is a masterpiece! Right from the opening title sequence it actually feels like a Mad Max film (I love all of them, but Beyond Thunderdome is still my favorite. Expand

    Fun game with enjoyable combat, graphics, and overall gameplay. Get's a bit repetitive and there is not enough of a story to keep me really hooked (just like the movies). I really enjoy playing for about an hour at a time here and there and I do recommend the game, especially for those who like open-world collect-athons.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very underrated. Gameplay is absolutely fun . Combat is punchy and crunchy .
    Car combat and the car it self just gives you that power fantasy in this open world apocalypse. Unfortunately the story it’s self had a 3 dollar budget and that is all the developers and publishers fault . The busy work is fun . Great environmental story telling . But it holds your hand way more then most true gamers want . The game is dirt cheap now and with all the crap coming out this game shines like head lights in the vast desert. Do your self a favor and give this game a try . Not perfect and some very frustrating decisions made but the developers. The gameplay is to fun to ignore. And as we all know gameplay is king !!!!

And it looks amazing too! driving around with your badass Magnum Opus is so thrilling. Also, the explosions in this game look absolutely amazing. The game encapsulates the world of Mad Max perfectly. 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.

    Главный вопрос такой, кому и зачем нужно было такое количество однообразных активностей на карте? Места поживы можно было сократить, разминирование вообще убрать, пугала, уничтожение катапульт, автомобилей со взрывчаткой вообще не интересно выполнять, раскопка лома и прочее не нпсишные задания то же, все это очень сильно утомляет.

Места поживы можно было сократить, разминирование вообще убрать, пугала, уничтожение катапульт, автомобилей со взрывчаткой вообще не интересно выполнять, раскопка лома и прочее не нпсишные задания то же, все это очень сильно утомляет. Гонки полностью проигнорировал ибо и так уже устал от игры.

    Лучше бы сосредоточились на классных лагерях, которые довольно интересно исследовать, если бы еще и лут был, кроме лома и построек, было б вообще отлично. Боевки не хватает разнообразия, стычкам и мини боссам вариативности.

    Есть ряд бесячих моментов, типа того где не отмечен желтой краской проход на вышку, или ночная миссия которая не берется днем, мне пришлось ждать час реального времени, пока солнце за горизонт не уйдет. В наличии пропадающая миссия Призраки прошлого, если ты вместо сюжета, зачисткой занялся и убежал, и пещерка с погребенной тачкой не откроется. Еще баг с непроходимым заданием по уничтожению машин со взрывчаткой все еще на месте, это с финальным патчем в игре 2015 года окей. Во второй половине игра немного подтормаживает, а шторм такой громкий что каждый раз приходится убавлять громкость.

    Но оценка все равно высокая, ибо атмосфера и клевые виды, интересное исследование и собирашки, боевка генерит зрелищные моменты (пока вы от них не устанете), кататься врезаться и взрывать машинки то же прикольно(пока вы и от этого не устанете), немного напоминает Кармагедон и Твистет Метал. Прокачка тоже мотивирует. Сюжет и персонажи колоритные.

    Вообщем не ожидал что на игру уйдет 80 часов. Думал будет что то похожее на Средеземье. Вообщем понравилось. 8 из 10.

    The game local for a desert does look very beautiful and the lighting is gorgeous. The post apocalyptic game world consists of backwards tribalism full of new age mysticism. So the game lore comes across weird and strange, but in a interesting way.

    The personal carrot on the stick was exploring the world and scavenging for scrap for better gear/vehicles. I really did not care either

    The personal carrot on the stick was exploring the world and scavenging for scrap for better gear/vehicles. I really did not care either way for the general story.

    I have seen this melee style of combat done before and better in Batman Arkham games. It takes a lot to get me into a third person and/or driving games these days. The scenic driving and car combat was fun. The melee combat worked, but nothing woo hoo.

    The overall game was a lot of doing the same stock stuff over and over again, but with more added intensity the further I progressed. I personally never got bored, because I was always seeing new locations when doing the same stuff. The map is huge and for a desert it had many a new nook and cranny to explore. The scripted end game BS was kind of annoying, but they wanted to push that cinematic look.

    Some small bugs and a few annoying glitches which led to very cheap deaths. Poorly optimized at times on the legacy PS4. With very bad slow downs in the frame rate when several cars are on screen. I had a lot of fun with this game, but the technical problems do effect the score.

    Ne var ki bu durum ps Plusın bu oyunu ücretsiz vermesiyle son buldu. Oyun kontrolleri çok zor geldi(r2 ile koşuyorsun), hikaye bir türlü yürümedi, yönettiğimiz adama gıcık oldum falan derken oyunu kapattım sildim. Ta ki korona salgınına kadar.

    Korona salgınında ps Plus birikmiş oyunlarıma zaman ayırma kararı aldım. Bir çok oyuna şans verip bitirip aslında o kadar da kötü değilmiş dedikten sonra sıra Mad Max'e geldi. Şu an yeni satın aldığım Metro Exodus'a başlamadım, Mad Max'i bitirmeye adadım kendimi. Çünkü BU OYUN MÜKEMMEL!!!
    Kıymeti zamanında bilinememiş, harika bir oyun. Zamanla karakterin arabası, karakterin yaşadığı kaleler, karakterin yetenekleri ve karakterin üstü başı geliştirilebiliyor. Kendinizi Mad Max ile bütünleştirdiğiniz an oyundan çıkmak istemiyorsunuz. Dip not:kesinlikle oynayın.

    And the best part,the exploration, from the beginning to the end I felt captivated to explore, go to bases, defeat bosses etc, mainly because of the evolution sistem, I wanted scrap to upgrade max and his car and that kept me going. The story is great not a master piece but it's fine. The only thing that pushes this game down is the bugs there are a ton of them, none of those who happened to me made me restart the game but I know that that happens.

There are 300+ scavenging locations, so many car possibilities, so many enemy types and a very good story. Yes it has its faults but rating it a 69/100 is terrible. It is a very good game!

However, sometimes i switch to 3rd person in confined spaces to better see what I’m doing.There is a real sense of accomplishment that you get while progressing in the world. Between the skill tree, the upgrades to your abilities as well as to your car, you feel like a badass while you’re leveling up!!!!! For a post apocalyptic game, the graphics for the environments look amazing, not to mention the great effects of the sky & sunsets, etc. it even looks killer at night!!! I love the look of shadows of the clouds rolling across the landscapes! The hand to hand combat (which borrows heavily from the Batman games) has a real sense of weight and crunch to it, especially if you play with headphones! I love Avalanche games as I have played all of the Just Cause games since Just Cause 2. I would’ve loved to have seen a sequel for this game, but sadly i know we will never get one!!! :( I want to thank the team at Avalanche for this game, you branched out from Just Cause & made a KILLER game which unfortunately went way under the radar of many gamers!!!!!!!!

    Great game specially if you love the Mad Max world. The story is ok, the gameplay is as great as in fighting as in driving. There is a massive open world to explore and a lot of content. The characters are amazing and evolve well throughout the story. The sound effects and the car roar is outstanding.
    Driving your totally rigged car in the Mad Max wasteland is what makes this game so

The gameplay is really fluid and smooth. I also really enjoyed the graphics and the unique vibe this game has. I would say that Mad Max is easier than most other PS4 games I played before. It means that this game is not frustrating (especially if you don't rush the main story and complete a few strongholds in order to upgrade properly).

    However, there is an important lack of diversity in the different strongholds that appear on the map (they all look the same). So, I can't recommend a 100% playthrough but I would say that if you complete the main story and do..let's say...half of the optional quests, you should have a great time with this game.

    We can easily compare this game to Far Cry and Assassin's Creed because of the open world design.

    I think I spent around 35-40 hours on this game

Not following any of the movies, but taking a little from each film and making an original game is what the developers have done. There is fighting (like the batman games and driving like the grand theft auto games) The landscape is barren and beautiful including storms that are truly epic. The cars are accurate to the films and it is Maxes goal to reacquire his stolen interceptor. To do this he has to build an even more sinister car and defeat many gangs throughout the game. The missions can be repetitive, however it becomes addictive just to upgrade your car so you bear with it and keep playing. The story is average and could have been so much more, with the ending being very jarring. It is sad that the game was not more of a success as they would have made a sequel for sure. I don't have much to complain about this game, if anything I would say that there are many other vehicles, but they was never really a reason to use them as the one you are building is so much better. I would have loved to see more missions with other vehicles and perhaps missions where your dog goes with you.

    I feel this game will be a cult hit in the future and hope the devs revisit it again. Just need to utilize more of the map by including fleshed out missions and they would have had a winner perhaps a AAA game.

    The one negative thing about the game is that at a few key places you’re forced to act in a way that’s pretty inconsistent with 95% of the way you played up until then. That felt kind of terrible and to happen at the end when you’ve invested so much was kind of really sucky. The ability to choose and then a little bit of time invested in two endings would have felt quite a bit more fair.

Super jízdní model vozidel, a jejich destrukce s výbuchy jsou vážně impozantní. Avalanche studios se vážně předvedli, a ukazali že to umí, pokud mají dostatek peněz a času na hru.

    Don't really understand the mixed reviews of this - this game was immensely fun and the attention to detail of George Miller's world is just outstanding! It's visceral, brutal and the driving mechanics are brilliant! Some of it can be rough around the edges and the story isn't all interesting but the amount of technical heart that has gone into this makes it worth a recommendation.

Upgrading your car is really fun as well and watching your car and Max’s appearance change throughout the game from ranking up and unlocking parts and gear is Awesome. You’ll also notice the environment change as you take down more camps and start new strongholds. Strongholds are great too because you also build additions to them that help you in the game and you’ll see the work you put in strongholds as well. It’s definitly my kind of game. I was expecting it to be much worse because of the reviews, now I keep trying to get all of my friends who haven’t played it yet to give it a try.

The best part about this game was the open world, it feels authentic and lived in, i loved driving around, even the smallest camps has diverse and interesting set ups. The hand to hand combat was simple and addicting (Same with car). Driving was very fluid. Now the story brought this game down a lot, without spoiling anything it felt lazy and uninspired, which was a shame. The repetetive nature will also kick in at some point, luckily for me it didn't happen until probably the 20 hour mark. To, end it felt like Ubisoft decicded to make Rage 2, and it's really good.

    This game, THIS game is like Fallout on STEROIDS. I love the post-apocalypse world, the landscape, skybox, is SOOOO beautiful and majestic. Just driving around doing missions/tasks is therapeutic. Avalanche has created a magnificent world in Mad Max. Astounding graphics! And i dont generally like driving in games but boy oh boy am I having a blast speeding across the sand dunes.

    Oh and the combat. My God is it addictive! I can feel the weight behind every meaty punch, dropkick and bodyslam that Max rains down on his enemies. It feels completely superior to Arkham Knight's floaty and easy combat. In Mad Max, momentum and direction matters if you want to pull off perfect combos. Seriously, to me, the combat never gets old and I in fact always look forward to the next combat sequence. It's THAT good!!

    Car combat is absolutely fun! It reminds me of Twisted Metal/Road Rash/Carmageddon. Like the fist combat, car combat never gets old. Every time it feels like Destruction Derby. Friggin awesome!

    The story is also interesting so far though at the time of this review, I have not finished the game. Im maybe 25-30% done but i just felt compelled to write one right away as the game is sooo good! I played like 10hrs, fell in love with the game, had the itch to rewatch Mad Max Fury Road, did that and it made the game feel even more ALIVE! As if Max came from the end of the movie right into the game as some sort of continuation. I'll be updating this review once Im done with the game but after 20+ hrs and still at the first base, I can safely say Mad Max will blow my expectations away.

    Hoping for a Mad Max 2. Well done Avalanche! Although, funny enough, I hated the Just Cause series.

    Mad Max is absolutely a great game. While it asks you to do hundreds of tasks throughout the game that follow the same basic formula, none, I repeat NONE, of the tasks are exact carbon copies of each other like in other open-world games. This is achieved by the fact that all locations, and I mean ALL of them, are completely different. Basically, you never feel like you have done the sameMad Max is absolutely a great game.

Basically, you never feel like you have done the same thing twice, except you have done it a hundred times but differently.

    This is the beauty of this game, and what makes it so enjoyable.

    The combat system is also great, but requires some getting used to. While it is a rhythm-based combat system akin to Batman games, there are clear tactics for each enemy horde on how to beat them clean, or get beaten up. Every fight also feels a bit different from the next one, even if there are only a handful of different enemies.

    Driving is marvelous, and extremely responsive. Weaponry on the cars is highly enjoyable to use as well.

    Lastly, it is Mad Max.

    It really is difficult to find anything negative to say about this game, except that I want more of it.

    Mad Max used its imagery well, and as a sandbox game, it's thematically pretty coherent. I actually liked this more than GTA V: driving around is more exiting, and Batman-style fist fighting is more fun than Gears of GTA -cover shootouts. [Oct 2015]
