    Mad Max is an action-adventure video game based on the Mad Max franchise. Developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, it was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2015. Feral Interactive published the game's macOS and Linux versions. In the game, players control Max Rockatansky as he progresses through the wasteland building a vehicle, the "Magnum Opus", to do battle with a gang of raiders, led by Scabrous Scrotus, and to reach the storied "Plains of Silence", where he hopes to find peace. Mad Max emphasizes vehicular combat, in which players can use weapon and armor upgrades on their car to fight enemies. It is set in an open post-apocalyptic wasteland consisting of deserts, canyons, and caves.

      I have played MAD MAX in February this year first time after 8 years , my first adventure was fail , as there came out few good games and I kinda forgot about that game , and when I play 2023 at first game was 6/10 , then after a bit game got to 8/10 ... just to fall to 6/10 after I finnish it , I have spend around 30h with that game but 10h was waste of time , as ending sucks , I have play to do all in game when I play it , but after terrible storry writting , irritating 2 fights with that chick that was pasanger at the race , and later freak (I forgot what was his name) , they fought very diffrent that anybody else in game , and game cheated at that fights freak fight tak4e literally 20min for me after that I just wanted end game as fast I could , I played I can forget , I will never play it again .

      @@TheScepticalThinker1 Really good. The vehicle explosions are unrivaled; burning tires, metal shavings, axle and suspension parts, etc all go flying. Plus the actual fire ball itself looks sick. It actually looks like a petrol explosion with thick black smoke. If you do get tired of it you don’t have to engage the convoys which is where the most intense of the vehicle combat occurs. Exploration is the funnest part for me, followed by the combat and car physics. You can even use a first person view/cam while driving and it’s done correctly with a nice wide FOV. It looks sweet looking down your hood with the supercharger sticking out of it.

      I mean even back then it felt like another cookie cutter open world with Arkham combat, tower checkpoints and unnecessary crafting systems.
      I think nowadays it feels almost refreshing because the map isn't ridiculously large and bloated to last forever, and the progression isn't artificially stretched to incentivize buying XP boosts and other microtransactions.
      This isn't a hidden gem, it's just a mid but inoffensive open world that shines now that most AAA games are worse than mid

    I really felt like the car itself was a character while I played this, definitely my favorite element of the whole experience. I love games that give you a vehicle or some kind of conveyance that has it's own limits and is separate from the player character. I was a huge fan of the Master Cycle Zero in BOTW as well, the moment I beat the game I started a master mode save but modded the bike to be available from the very start! I remember Xenogears as another game that blew me away as a young'un because you could hop in/out of your mechs any time inside AND outside of battle and were sometimes required to in order to progress or find secrets. Hell, I'd beeline for Epona as soon as you turn into an adult in OoT.
    Absolutely love this game. Should have gotten DLC and sequels/spinoffs. The "DLC" option in the main menu is now just a cruel joke, a twisting of the dagger.

    I think one of the more important part of car modification is that how easy it is to change, you don't need to go to a garage or even stop just change parts on the fly, which means you dont have to drive a hunk of metal all the time, make your car a speedster for travel, find a battle? On the fly change to fight mode

    The cut scene opener of Mad Max is perfect. Within fewer than 5 minutes you know who your hero is, what he’s lost, what he wants, who his enemy is, what the world will be like and even how you will go about fighting your way through it! You’re chomping at the bit to get going and breathless at the high octane, high concept, high as a kite ultra violent kick start. And it doesn’t go down hill at all! F’kin’ loved that game!

Even the soundtracks in the menu are notable. Here's a lil' reference about it for you Luke. The human hand decal in the car's visual customization menu, is the same on the hunched back of Max's companion. Chumbucket.

Also, the voice acting is top tier. I also want to add that Rage 2 is sort of a mix of this game and DOOM, and also should be given a shot. I love both games.

    I've been playing this for the past six months and taking my time to get all the collectible stuff. It's got a lot of replay value (to me, anyway) and the setting is really beautiful. They really did a fantastic job with the desert and the car battles are a lot of fun. The story was decent considering the Mad Max series has never been known for its story lol. My only issue with the game is you can't send scrap gatherers out anymore since the rng for it was handled by a server. Still-if you're like me and love the car combat you'll gather a ridiculous amount of scrap in no time. It really deserved to be a sequel. I think what would have made it a lot more appealing is if they'd had an enemy system like the LotR Shadow of War, etc games. They could have done a lot more with it but of course, Warner Brothers doesn't give a shit about Mad Max and would rather focus on cash cows like Harry Potter.

    I remember playing this game over the summer break after my first year of uni. I was broke, living off of cans of sardines and condensed milk. My friends had gone home, I was in halls alone and feeling bitter about a break-up. Aside from doing burpees, looking for jobs, and taking long lonely hikes in the scorching heat, this game is what I occupied myself with. The bleak, sun-scorched landscapes littered with corpses and rusted-out vehicles, completely bereft of decency or humanity, it was like staring into my own soul. I felt like Mad Max, angry, jaded, tortured by past failures, driven mad by isolation.
    I don't even like these types of cookie-cutter, open-world, Farcry rip-offs. This one was genuinely immersive. Driving through those endless deserts and experiencing its bizarre and disturbing post-apocalyptical cultures was a meditative experience. I just wish the combat had been deeper and more challenging. Also, I think they should have made the survival and crafting a much more significant, fleshed-out part of the game. I hope they make a sequel so they can get these things right. This game is by no means my favorite but it will always occupy a special place in my memory.

    I really just wanted to point out I can’t help but notice how similar these 2 games look & play. I guess this game was used as a test run for Rage ? “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” works for me in this situation . Might be trying this game next. Bethesda titles im always on the lookout for
