    a masterpiece in the form of a game. The atmosphere created in the game and that the developers managed to convey is truly impressive, the emotion we feel when playing, for me, is just surreal

    He echado de menos una relación homosexual. Está claro que las mujeres no le gustan demasiado o nada. Max tiene uno de los mejores cuerpos masculinos de todo los juego que he jugado y el paquete es precioso.

One of those under appreciated gems that has everything from moments of chaotic mayhem and fun to profoundly strong, emotionally driven scenes that bring a tear. One of gaming's great tragadies is that trash like GTA Online and Fortnite print money so games like Mad Max don't get sequels or DLC because the profit margin wasn't astronomically high. Buy the game and thank me when the credits roll.… Expand

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.    … Expand

    Starting with the good things. The mechanics are good, the gameplay is nice, the driving, the weapon, the fighting, all good somewhat. But sadly the bad things overshadow the good ones. The game is full of bugs. Sometimes you can't destroy a car because just as you try to enter yours to destroy it, the car disappeared.

Sometimes you can't destroy a car because just as you try to enter yours to destroy it, the car disappeared.

    There is a lot of holes in the logic and sense of the game as you are in a post apocalyptic scenario and you go around destroying oil pumps (which are, by essence, what's still keeping the cars and everything running...). You cannot climb, no really, you can't. There are only a few exceptional yellow marked places and stairs to which you can, but overall you can't jump. Somehow living to the end of times left you without a skill to climb stuff.

    Frankly, the open world has a huge potential, the hunger and thirst could have been portrayed better than just filling your health as well as your car really only burning fuel once you start using side fire launchers..

    This game also misses on an opportunity to provide a shop. Someone interested in selling stuff you can't or shouldn't find as often.

    So, it has potential. But it feels like an unfinished game.    … Expand

    Mad Max was overlooked since it hit stores on the same day as Metal Gear Solid V. That's a shame cause the game is a pleasant surprise.

The two attempt to rebuild the Magnum Opus car while battling Scabrous Scrotus, the son of Fury Road's Immortan Joe.

    "Max" isn't as good as any of the other games I've mentioned, but it's well-made and packed with plenty of activities to do. So if you love the movies and survival action games like The Last of Us, then you should be pleased with this adaption. I would rate it with a 7.7 out of 10.    … Expand

While you open new areas they all have the same side quests/ collectible items to get so after awhile it gets boring and grindy. I would recommend if you can get it on sale.… Expand

    Great story, true to the history of the franchise. Pace of the game structured so that you enjoy each aspect, even collecting scraps. You feel like Max, exploring the world and building your car. The only piece that is a bit dull, is disarming bombs with the Buggy. Great customization of car and Max.

    Disappointing. I bought this game after seeing all the positive reviews and I'm left puzzled over why it's so highly rated.

    Story & environment : Both are as you'd expect. Neither blow you away but there's nothing to complain about really.

    Customisation : The customisation is incredible, it's the main reason I bought the game. There are so many different perks/upgrades to work towards, for max, for strongholds and for your car.

    Minesweeping : Yikes. Maybe I'm missing something but why on earth can't you clear mines in your own car. The minesweeping car is horrible to drive and you can't even fast travel with it.

    Travel : I understand that being able to fast travel everywhere wouldn't fit with the game's theme but, for me, fast travel points were too sparse and travelling to missed objectives became really tedious.

    Roads : I know some people would probably disagree with me on this but I didn't like that you slow down massively if you clip the "edge" of a "road". They're sandy paths and you can barely see where the road stops and the off-road begins.

    In summary, there are a bunch of things that, although they're keeping with its theme, make the game tedious and uncomfortable to play.    … Expand

    Jogo incrivelmente divertido e descompromissado.
    Mad Max me levou para o mundo distópico incrível e bem modelado, apesar de as vezes parecer vazio e sempre bom tomar cuidado para não se deparar com um carro inimigo.
    Outro ponto positivo são os acampamentos e faróis que devemos destruir. Os acampamentos são verdadeiros labirintos cheios de inimigos .

    When I first saw a youtuber play this I thought it was just another run in the mill open world game but when I saw that it was on sale I bought it out of curiosity and damn was I wrong.

    Not nearly as magnificent as the movie, and not as brilliant as Shadow of Mordor was when it came out, but Mad Max is still a fun (if somewhat repetitive) adventure in a post apocalyptic world filled with sand, blood and gasoline. There's nothing really innovative in the mix, but in the end it's way better than most movie based tie ins. More than enough for fans of Mad Max and videogames all over the world.
