Mad Max for PC, PS4 and etc. is a third-person action game set in an open, post-apocalyptic world, reminiscent of the cult series of films by George Miller, whose debut took place in 1979, and Mel Gibson a world movie star. The Swedish Avalanche Studios, the creators of Just Cause cycle, is responsible for the interactive version of the crazy adventures of Max. The publisher of the game is Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, specializing in games based on movie licenses.

Story

The game's story does not refer directly to any of the previously created movies, but tells a completely new story, using only iconic elements characteristic of the entire series. In the game we assume the role of the eponymous Max, who after losing his legendary V8 Interceptor vehicle sets off on a journey through the vast, post-apocalyptic wasteland. The purpose of his journey is to construct a new machine, which equals the performances of its legendary predecessor. However, this is only an introduction to the many adventures awaiting on the way of the protagonist. Max hopes to find the legendary land known as the Plains of Silence, where he can finally find peace and solace.

Kotaku: by Chris Suellentrop

An overlong, overstuffed adventure with some nice scenery and decent car combat.

Full Review

IGN: 8.4 / 10 by Brandin Tyrrel

Mad Max is an engaging rampage through a brutal world of depravity and loss that urges you to probe every ugly corner.

Full Review

Metro GameCentral: 7 / 10 by David Jenkins

Some of the best car chases in recent gaming memory and a stunning post-apocalyptic world, although when Max gets out of his car he becomes more mediocre than mad.

The main pros of the game

  • Authentic Atmosphere: The game captures the essence of the Mad Max universe, providing a gritty and immersive experience in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
  • Engaging Combat: Both vehicular and hand-to-hand combat systems are praised for being enjoyable and satisfying, with comparisons made to the Batman Arkham series for its melee mechanics.
  • Open World Design: Players appreciate the expansive and beautifully rendered open world, which offers a sense of isolation and exploration.
  • Customization Options: The ability to upgrade and customize vehicles adds depth to gameplay and enhances player engagement.
  • Good Optimization: Many users noted that the game runs well on modern systems despite being released years ago, with solid graphics that have aged well.

The main cons of the game

  • Repetitive Gameplay: A common critique is the repetitive nature of missions and tasks, which can lead to monotony over time.
  • Linear Story: The main storyline is often described as thin and predictable, lacking significant depth or player choice.
  • Grindy Mechanics: Gathering resources like scrap can feel tedious, especially when upgrades are gated behind resource collection, leading to a grindy experience.
  • Clunky Controls: Some players found the controls sluggish and unresponsive at times, particularly during combat and when navigating the environment.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • More Varied Missions: Users expressed a desire for greater diversity in mission types to reduce repetitiveness.
  • Deeper Story Interactions: There is a call for more engaging NPC interactions and character development to enrich the narrative experience.
  • Post-Game Content: Players noted the lack of substantial endgame content or challenges after completing the main story, which could have provided more replayability.
  • Improved Mechanics: Some users wished for enhancements in gameplay mechanics, such as more responsive controls and better enemy AI.

Summary

  • Overall, while "Mad Max" is celebrated for its atmosphere, combat mechanics, and open-world design, it faces criticism for repetitiveness, a lack of depth in storytelling, and some technical issues. Many players recommend the game, particularly during sales, for fans of the genre and the franchise.
