    It's not often that I say a game is better off without a story but this is definitely one of those games that would really be improved if they took away its story. The first playthrough is maybe a 1/10 due to being forced to sit through one of the most boring and terribly-written stories with characters that you don't really like.

The first playthrough is maybe a 1/10 due to being forced to sit through one of the most boring and terribly-written stories with characters that you don't really like. After that it's maybe a 6 or a 7 out of 10 since you just get to focus on the tank customization, monster hunting, and leveling up. The monster designs are great and some of the bosses are extremely challenging. If only they made it more like the original game and didn't focus on the characters when telling the story.… Expand

    Weird enemies, fast combat, and tank customization don’t save Metal Max Xeno from being an unbalanced disaster. The game also manages to end on a particularly poor note with an ill-conceived boss-rush followed by a monstrous final battle that requires expertly tuned tanks not needed anywhere else in the story. I spent nearly as much time trying to beat the final boss as I did on the rest of the game. It’s just another in a host of bad design decisions. There are some interesting parts that could have formed the basis of a good game — the tank battles against giant monsters festooned with cannons are fun — but those parts are buried by all the other terrible decisions.

    Metal Max Xeno is just so thoroughly average when it comes to JRPGs. The basic world, familiar storyline, and characters serve an okay experience which embraces the grind a bit too much for a world that is generally void of much interest. The game feels like a throwback to older JRPGs which is great if that is what you’re into, but there has been so much advancement in the genre that overall Metal Max Xeno feels a bit out of place.

    It does so with a title that takes the most popular features of the J-RPG, amalgamating them with the intriguing vehicle system and dropping everything into a fascinating and picturesque imagery. The discreet, but not exceptional, bulk of content, however, lends a side to a technical section too old to be able to fully satisfy an audience of players who, just recently, has met some members of the genre much more sumptuous, profound and solid.
