    If you’re into the concept and come into the game fully aware that it’s very much a budget affair, I think you’ll have a good time with Metal Max Xeno Reborn. It doesn’t try to be more than it is, which is an RPG where you ride around a post-apocalyptic open world Tokyo in cool tanks and blow up weird mutated monsters. That’s either good enough for you, or it isn’t.

    While it might seem like our gripes outnumber the improvements in Xeno Reborn, this is still a weird, unique, and overall enjoyable entry point into the Metal Max world. Squad-based, single-player tank-centric games (set in a post apocalyptic world) are few and far between, to put it mildly, so this is still worth your time. And to their credit, instead of simply moving on to a sequel (which they’re doing as well in Metal Max: Wild West), Cattle Call and 24Frame took the time to improve on the foundation laid by Metal Max Xeno, to ambitious if flawed results in Xeno Reborn. You can’t fault the teams for the effort made, and whether they were totally successful or not, the whole of Metal Max Xeno Reborn is still greater than the sum of its parts.

    The changes implemented in this release help consolidating the experience, with emphasis on the vehicle and character development mechanics, coupling it with an enjoyable exploration effort. It's more difficult to understand why several plot elements were removed, though, and things could be better from a technical performance point of view, but as it is this is without a doubt the best version of the game released so far.

    A charming but troubled post-apocalyptic title that I had fun with despite its best efforts, Metal Max Xeno Reborn is a good game dragged down by some silly design choices and a lacklustre presentation. But if you know this is your bag and have a little patience, there’s something really rewarding in here.

A lack of defensive options in the real-time sections of the turn-based combat may be a little disappointing, but looting and upgrading into a super-tank feels pretty damn satisfying, even if it does run out of steam after a while."

    What the hell!?

    This is a scam! Looks like a light version of Metal Max Xeno also released on PS4 few years ago. It is basically the very    What the hell!?

    This is a scam! Looks like a light version of Metal Max Xeno also released on PS4 few years ago. It is basically the very same game, with "new" graphics, but a lot of features are now missing. There is no more structure to the game, no story (even the intro has been removed), and it feels weirdly bland.

    If you are intrigued with this Post-apo RPG, give a try to the older game, this "Reborn" edition is not good at all.    … Full Review »
