    Great game for the fans of Mad Max, very enjoyable. I have been playing for over sixteen and a half hours now, and am satisfied as someone who knows the game's universe since waaaay back, in the old days.

    Great car physics, speeding up and slowing down, the wasteland atmosphere is also there! Great job, Avalanche Studio.

    what a lovely day!

    Not only the best movie license game I've ever played, but also the best game I've played this year. Beautiful, frantic and above all - fun. Definitely pick this up if you're a fan of driving games, brawlers, survival games or third-person shooters.

    Combat system is way too simple. Thinka about a ultra minimalist version of Shadows of Mordor fights, and thats what you will get here.

    Car combats are silly, since your enemies just hit their cars against yours, and thats it.

    Story is really, really bad. Actually there is no story at all for most part of the game, since most of the main story quests will be "collect scraps to upgrade your car".

    Graphics are the best part of the game. The wasteland is huge and beautiful to watch, but I just realized I was spending more time taking pictures in the photo mode than actually enjoying the gameplay.

    Despite being beautiful, there is not enough to do in the wasteland. That makes a bad combination with the stupid main quests that won't let you advance unless you upgrade your car. For example, at some point my main quest was to collect 300 scraps. So I went looking for scraps. After I just found an outpost, defeated 10 enemies, all I got was 40 scraps. Guess what, there won't be any scraps sources nearby, then I had to drive gain untill I found more 20 scraps. Repeat. Then I realized I was driving and driving for more than one hour looking for scraps.

    Next mission: I had to find another base that I could use to upgrade my car. When I found that base, then here comes next mission: collect 200 scraps to upgrade your car. Thats Mad Max for you.

    The game is really lazy. Nowadays some developers are just using the "open world" term to sell games, without putting effort in creating a unique experience. I have to admit I'm one of those guys that gets excited when you can freely explore a huge world, but Mad Max is boring and lifeless.

    Just a forgettable game released in 2015. Get this one on sale if you are willing to give it a try.    … Expand

    Atmosphere is what Mad Max does best. A solid game in its own right, but for anyone who enjoyed any one of the films this will provide a treat like few other games.

    Decent things are: There's plenty to do, and a lot of it you can find yourself or stumble across accidentally... besides the "to follow the main quest go here" pointer you can do as you please. Combat flows brilliants, both on foot and in vehicle. Customisation options for the car and max are fun and extensive.
    On the downside, i feel the control of Max himself to be frustrating at time, the jump function so far feel pointless yet i keep trying to find a use for it when looking for hidden things, and maybe its just me but it being on the L2 button feel awkward. Also, shotgun being the default weapon when you get into the magnum opus has annoyed me royally! my head assumes the infinite use harpoon should be the default, and this misconception has cost me quite a bit of an already scarce amount of ammo!

    Something id like to see patched in later or made as DLC is a slightly harder version. health, water and petrol feel way too easy to come by and i never felt at risk in the game. A slightly more hardcore mode would be appreciated!

    All in all a very solid enjoyable title, that's gorgeous looking and allows you to blow of some steam mashing some skulls at your own pace.    … Expand

    Minor Graphical quirks in cutscenes

    Mad Max reviews on PS4

    I waited to play this game until a price drop due to some of the low scores and also because other games being out such as The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, etc.However, after playing this game for several hours I had to create an account on metacritic just to give my opinion and maybe help others decide to buy or not buy.

    The good:
    Graphics are beautiful; I have never seen a wasteland look more amazing (sorry Fallout 4).
    Story is actually really good once you are open to the idea of this being a "Mad Max" world and setting. It's goes along with all of the movies setting the tone where it should be.
    Soundtrack is also great which sets the tone for the game.
    Characters in the game are insane, crazy, and completely out of their minds, which is perfect for this setting.
    Car and character customization is a really nice feature that allows the player to step back and see their progress and character development.

    The Bad:
    Sometimes the repetitive missions within the vast open world can feel a bit to much at times.

    Overall, this is a must own game for anyone who is a fan of Mad Max or an open world fan. Sure this game isn't as vast and expansive as the The Witcher 3 but I found it to be better than some of the other games out right now that are getting a higher score than this game. I really don't know why the critics rated this game with some of the low scores, it just doesn't make any sense?    … Expand

    Boring as hell, the sand storms are the dumbest mechanic you could add to a game and it's all identical, you just repeat the same 3 things ad infinitum, the game tries to make you play secondary missions which are even more of a giant waste of time, making you repeat the same thing for hours.

All mechanics are made so that you waste one more second of your time to this piece of junk. It's also buggy, the console can't render the graphics for **** making for cutscenes where the characters have big areas of the same colour instead of details. It's overall unpolished and the commands are confusing, with r2 to run, l2 to jump, O to shoot the gun (of which losing a round is a rather big deal).
    Again, it's painfully built on the idea that it really wants you to spend time doing nothing. To take something from the ground you have to wait a couple of seconds, to talk with a guy you have to wait a couple of seconds for the conversation even to start, to have markers on the map you have to spend five minutes of a montgolfier slowly going to the air, you selecting every single marker you see and it going back down. The combat is pressing the same button for 15 minutes with a rare second button to keep pressed to win any fight ever.

    I guess people really need an excuse to throw their time away doing nothing and they really like it. That or marketers have put quite the effort into making this look appreciated, notice how all 10 points reviews are from 1 and 2 september. I also saw them on other sites, claiming this to be the greatest game ever after not even a day of it coming out.    … Expand

    The game encapsulates the world of Mad Max perfectly and the nods to the 4 movies are everywhere.
    The story is as bare bones as it gets, but it doesn't matter. There is so much to do between missions, it can get a bit overwhelming, they do get a bit repetitive but they're so damned fun. Max is a bit of a completionist's nightmare because of all the collectables and all the side quests, but again, I'm having so much fun with it I just don't care.
    Sure the AI sucks, enemies just rush you, or stand back and wait while you deal with their friends, the vehicle combat is fantastic with various ways to dispatch your opponents. The character upgrade system and vehicle building work perfectly and are suited to this type of game.
    I feel that this game really should be a 9, because of how its really just a glorified, violent fetch quest, but its pulled off perfectly.

    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]

    A functional open world game, Mad Max captures none of what makes its source material great. Missions are uninteresting, the world is dead and there are next to no damn car chases. [Issue#262, p.64]
