Mad Max

It was fun. Sort of a different take on a post-apocalyptic game that was a little simpler and less frustrating than the sandboxy or horror-y games I had been playing before this.

For being about a decade old now, it holds up pretty well - apart from none of the online features working because the servers have been down for some time. Gameplay is pretty basic, lore is pretty shallow, lots of collectibles and side objectives to keep you going but not such a dense game that it takes 50+ hours to complete.

My playtime reflects getting all the available upgrades and reducing each region's threat to zero. I think you could probably finish the game in 20 hours or less if you just minmax the main story and don't go after all the upgrades, which are a little tedious and grindy to get sometimes.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Would recommend picking up on sale.

Great game but unfortunately this pc port is dog sh1t! The basic menu and widescreen settings don't work when you open the game, so you have to configure them direct in config file. If you're not interested in the above, I don't recommend buying. I also noticed several sound and graphics bugs while playing, e.g. vehicles are transparent or the map doesn't have time to load. What comes to the Story and Ending this game, well Story is good, but as people have already pointed out in the comments/reviews Max makes some rather questionable moral decisions, especially at the end of the game, which, at least to me, don't resemble the actions of Max from the movies. Chase driving and fighting in the desert in beautiful scenery is the main selling point of this game.

Honestly, Mad Max is quite a fun game, the combat as both Max and vehicle based are rather satisfying, it's rather similar to the combat system found in the Arkham series, however it does seem more streamlined and can get fairly repetitive after a while. The story is also surprising good and entertaining through out with interesting character's along the way. All in all, it's open world and mechanic's make's for a fun experience and I would highly recommend it.
Solid 7/10

It's annoying that they removed the scrap crew project rewards but expect us to build it in each region for no rewards. They also removed the easiest way to get scrap and made it a chore. Still, it's a good game, but it was a very short-sighted and stupid decision.

One of the best games i have played, rich story, great battles and much more, i like it!

Take the basic Far Cry gameplay and wrap it in a Mad Max veneer. The twist is that there is more focus on vehicle combat, as you might expect. Overall it works pretty well. The story was basically just an excuse to have us running around the open world for the first 80% of the game, but then...I don't want to give it away but the story made itself worthwhile. Recommended.

One of the few games where I prefer to just go around the map and complete every unimportant task instead of doing the quest line. Fantastic game, great gameplay, worth everything.

Got this on sale and it was totally worth it. I have been playing it since then and the experience has been awesome! Interesting missions, great gameplay and it'll keep you hooked..

The game is extremely fun. Infact some of the story missions are also cool but the game definetely keeps getting repetitive and the problem is you have to complete the repetitive stuff to progress up for the story missions.

I would have love some amazing boss variations but definetely lacks in that, especially upsetting because hand to hand combat is the most favourite part for me in this game. (car combat gets boring when stealing car and beating them with their car is the best strat).

A game based on a movie, it has some glitches that can make the game more difficult but it's worth playing.

If you like Mad Max, this is a Mad Max game.
It's in my opinion a really good Mad Max game.
I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you like Mad Max, because as previously mentioned, this is a Mad Max game.

This Game Rocks!!!
Unbelievable Port! From Movie to Game Concept.....
It's a true shame this didn't continue growing, with expansions or a sequel.
Mad Max Fury Road.....would have been epic!
The only nitpicking I have is when the monotony shadow can be seen, but easy fixes if sequeled'....
This title will always hold a spot, for my favorite Automobile Driving game....even though I can get out of the car and do things....it';s mostly driving.
MAD MAX earns a spot on my Infinte Computers Desktop (I will always have a shortcut to this game on my desktop).

Really cool game that was unfortunately slept on with 2015 having other blockbusters that took this game's spotlight away. Cool story alongside with surprisingly good combat mechanics. Played well on Steam Deck at medium settings with a stable 90fps that still gave good battery life.

Severely underrated because it came out on the exact same day as MGS5:TPP but I love it.

Pretty decent game, basically GTA but in a post-apocalypse world. Character animations are a bit poor, but some of the visuals are beautiful, and the fighting is fun (if a little repetitive). It's an old game so won't get changed now, but it could do with being more difficult.

I have very mixed feelings about Mad Max. On one hand, the game suffers from a weak, almost nonexistent story, a repetitive combat and gameplay loop, and an open world that feels empty, padded with repetitive tasks designed to artificially extend playtime. Yet, despite all these flaws… I loved it.

There's something incredibly satisfying about tearing through the wasteland in my customized Magnum Opus, upgrading Max and his gear, and engaging in the rhythmic, Batman Arkham-style combat. While the story attempts to pull you in, I found the writing to be weak—almost painfully so. If the goal was to show that Max is an unchanging force of nature, it came off as an excuse for a lack of character development rather than a deliberate narrative choice. The Max you meet at the start is the exact same Max you see at the end, which made it hard to feel invested.

That said, what Mad Max lacks in depth, it makes up for in sheer, mindless fun. It’s the kind of game where you can switch off your brain, rev up your V8 engine, and just enjoy smashing skulls and crushing enemy convoys. If you’re looking for a deep, story-driven experience, this isn’t it. But if you love car combat, a gritty post-apocalyptic setting, and the thrill of high-speed chases through the desert, there’s plenty to enjoy.

The main story is short—you could finish it in under 10 hours if you rush—but the side content adds another 20+ hours of gameplay. By the time I hit the 35-hour mark, I was ready to move on, but I don’t regret the time spent. My recommendation? Give it a try. If the first couple of hours don’t hook you, refund it and move on. If they do, buckle up and enjoy the ride—stay mad. Max

7/10

This game captures the feel of Mad Max...at least the Fury Road version, or perhaps a hybrid of the original trilogy and the newer films. The game is entertaining but not without annoyances as you have to repeat the same movements and button presses over and over to open boxes/bins and pick up scrap and ammo. Regardless, the vehicular combat and hand-to-hand battles are fun, and gunplay is impactful and explosive. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.

honestly not a bad game, has sort of far cry vibe to it but overall a fairly cool game with good mele mehanics

✅✅✅Mad Max is an open-world arcade game based on the film of the same title. In the game we play as Max Rockatansky, who is the last man in the desert. Our task is to fight gangs and survive in a brutal post-apocalyptic world.

✅What I liked the most is the combat system in this game, it's great, you could say it's like a Batman system.
✅Great graphics
✅Huge open world and therefore there are plenty of things to do
✅Many options for modifying and improving the vehicle and Max.
✅A dozen or so options for destroying enemy vehicles
✅Possibility to expand our fortresses, and thus their visual changes and additional various bonuses
✅Collectibles (bits of history)
✅Archangels and other vehicles with which we can move around the world as soon as we find them
✅There are quite a lot of races
✅A very nice system of "viewpoints" in the form of balloons
✅Possibility to destroy opponent's cars in several ways
✅Price adequate to the game
✅Autosave



❌The plot of this game is practically non-existent, the very small number of missions and the positive review from my side saves the last 3 missions of this game
❌Repeatable mission pattern
❌The game is too grind-oriented
No free jumping
❌I encountered some bugs in this game
❌No soundtrack while exploring the world
❌Artificially extended gameplay (collecting scrap in ridiculous amounts)
❌The amount of scrap for max vehicle upgrades is too high. When you collect scrap around the map, you get very little of it, you just have to rack up the hours, which Im not a fan of

Very well done. Starts slow because of the tutorial, but as soon you hit the road on your own its awesome. Do references are of course Mad Max Fury Road, but I see Fallout all over too. Combat is really brawl oriented in the beggining

8/10. Really respectable game that has a lot to offer. Its not something revolutionary, but i feel like it always doesn't have to be. It was fun, engaging and unexpectedly brutal with a crazy end.

It's fine. You can see the developers saved money (a la God of War remake) with the boss fights, as they are all the same except Stank Gum.
There are a few inexplicable items, such as unlocking every region to show all loot sites, visiting them all, and then the game's stat screen showing three remained.
It deserves a part II with varied bosses in another section of Australia, but it will probably never be created. Another opportunity lost, while annually we get a new pointless FIFA and Madden money grab.

They really got the essence of Mad Max. Some things are clunky, but on the whole its a 10/10 game.

"He was one such man. One who had lost all. Over and over. And to this, he had lost his sanity. His was a never-ending journey away from the phantoms of his past. He believed he could silence the cacophony in his mind and find peace beyond a place he called the Plains of Silence. He now had the vehicle, the weapons, the provisions and the fortitude. He only needed the fuel"

I played Mad Max for the first time 9 years ago on the PS4 (times flies insanely fast wow) and after some hesitation I decided to revisit it again to see how it stands up

The upsides:

-Visually it's a pretty good looking game and not performance intensive at all, the scenery is incredible and each region of the wasteland feels diverese and actually quite interesting (it's just not sand with a few random settlements)
-The characters feel exactly like something out of the movies, they were quite memorable (with the exception of the warpaint bosses which are just copy-paste). I like Chum and Griffa a lot, they're pretty cool
-The worldbuilding overall is amazing and its the main reason of why I got hooked to this game after so many years
-The sound design is incredible making each shot and punch feel more impactful and the soundtrack gets the blood pumping in more tense situations
-Vehicle customization is straightforward and really easy to get the hang of, allowing you to make your perfect Magnum Opus (though I wish we had more warpaints)
-The vehicle combat is great and the implementation of the harpoon and sniper rifle makes clearing bases quite fun!
-Having different types of enemies depending on the time of the day and some real time events makes the world itself feel pretty alive
-It has a really good camera/video mode for taking cinematic shots

Now to the downsides:

-The melee combat is way too basic and it gets repetitive after some time (the addition of some special enemies during the playthrough makes it less boring but the problem still persists)
-Way too much hand-holding when aiming
-Y.P.S (Yellow paint syndrome)
-The vehicle controls feel sluggish and delayed which is kinda annoying at first
-Mine clearing fucking SUCKS and i would rather watch paint dry for 10 hours than to clear another minefield again
-Scavenging scrap/recovering project parts for the strongholds and doing it dozens of times for each region gets old real quick (and god forbid 100% every location)
-Some upgrades like later V8s are way too expensive and by the time you can actually get them you've pretty much finished the whole campaign
-Can't get the DLCs anymore because the servers are gone

STORY SPOILERS

The progression feels natural and the build-up is executed well, though the ending is a guilty pleasure for me. While killing off Hope and Glory not too long after the gas town race felt cheap because Max could've finally had a happy ending (finally moving on from his traumatic past and stablishing a family), the brutal deaths fueling Max's desire for revenge fits him insanely well.


It has some rough spots here and there but I still find it worth playing, specially if you're a fan of the movies

This game is very underrated in my opinion YES it gets very repetitive but its fun to hop in and play if you have a steam deck

this fucking game is fucking awesome. The fucking music is fucking awesome, the fucking characters are fucking awesome,and not to fucking mention the fucking cars. The fucking cars are fucking awesome. I couldn't fucking stop playing this fucking game for 3 fucking days straight fucking. If you haven't fucking installed this fucking awesome game then you don't know what true fucking awesomeness means and will fucking miss out on fucking peak.

ı have almost 60 hrs on this amazing game, ı got every achievement and completed %100 and ı say that this game underrated asf. This combat style, car combat and almost every scene so unexpected that ı feel awesome. If u average player this game 6/10 for you but if u love madmax universe, loot and vrom vrom car sound :d this game fits u 10/10 with no doupt.

I would 110% recommend this game for anyone thinking of getting it. This game was very enjoyable with a good story and very fun fighting and driving mechanics! Would get this game if you're thinking of getting a story mode game!!

this is an amazing game that honestly should've been in the oven longer and should've gotten more love. its a 8/10 in my book and i think anyone that likes mad max and good gameplay loops will like it.

Much better than I expected, the car combat is fantastic, and the driving is solid. Combat feels satisfying, though there isn't too much variety. Definitely agree that this was slept on.

I had 0 expectations from this game when I bought it and it turned out to be one of the best open world experiences I´ve had. It´s truly the MAD MAX experience and fun you could ask for the franchise. This is probably what RAGE 2 couldve been but failed to achieve.

In the vein of Assassin's Creed/Arkham Asylum but set in the Mad Max universe. It has a good middle. I found the beginning to be a bit of a challenge and the ending was too easy. It's certainly worth picking up if you like this type of game. There's lots of time in the car and exploring the wasteland.

Buggy game with limited graphic options. You can't change field of view and you can't turn off depth of field. You can't play without vsync on or vehicles/buildings turn invisible.

Aged really well. Only one thing - controls. It's really a weak spot in this game. I really recommend to redefined it for your controller type.

There isn't much to say besides I love this game. I love it so much I have bought it on every platform. This game got me into Mad Max and I've always been obsessed since. Seriously it is one of my top 5 of all time. I mean I could rant about this game for hours.

I've 100%-ed this game, and I can honestly say it has one of my favourite driving mechanics in any game. It feels fun to drive around the wasteland. The combat is simple punch & counter, but it doesn't take away from the game.

Even the story is pretty good and had a surprisingly emotional ending.

TLDR: i think it's overrated but still was fun. recommended on sale.

-main story is kinda short. world is a bit empty. i mean it's literally a desert. activities get repetitive after a while.
-game is not fun enough to make you wanna go for 100% achievements. but fun enough to keep you engaged and finish the story. at least that was my experience.
-movement mechanics are a bit clunky and its hard to control the car even with maximum handling stat. i enjoyed the arkham style fighting. not my usual go-to but it was pretty casual fun.
-experienced some audio issues where i couldnt hear certain cues and also sometimes it was delayed but nothing too immersion breaking.

it felt lacking but it's a good passtime.

Gritty based story mode and raw Mad Max era. Great graphics with progression and a wasteland to explore.

What a snooze fest, I was led to believe it was an underrated gem, I've been played like a fiddle.
Game design, gameplay, story, art direction, music are mediocre, the only good thing was the optimization.

I'm in love with this. If someone told me that this is a a 2015 game I wouldn't belive it.

I think this just became my favourite Survival/Story game, the story is breathtaking and I loved every second of It, the characters are really well made, the voice actors really did a great job, the grapics are really good, never had a problem with it. I love how the feeling of End of the World comes trough with the historical relics, and with Max's telling. The combat system Is awsome, I really liked it, and the handling of the car is on god better than in some car games. The sounds are amazing. I love the objectives in every way and enjoyed playing It. Never even heard of bugs in this game, maybe It's just me but I didn't noticed any In the 56 hours of playing. The Map is great and gives the end of the world vibe, and I loved it.

10/10 recommend It, It worth the price.
I think everyone needs to at least try this masterpiece.

Mad Max is an intriguing game that delivers a compelling experience, though not without its flaws.

The story starts off strong, drawing players into the harsh, post-apocalyptic world with gripping intensity. However, as the narrative progresses, it begins to lose some of its momentum, particularly towards the end.

Gameplay-wise, it took a bit of time to get accustomed to the mechanics, but once I did, it felt satisfying and didn’t detract from the overall experience. The vehicular combat and exploration were highlights, adding to the immersion of the wasteland setting.

While Mad Max isn’t a perfect game, I still found enjoyment in my journey through the desolate world.

6.5/10 – A flawed but entertaining experience.

This game was so slept on when it came out. I remember deciding between this and MGSV, ultimately picked the latter and forgot about it.

That was a mistake, because this game stands as one of the best movie-game spin-offs ever made.

It runs amazing on just about anything, from my deck to my main PC. It's a great deal of fun, there is tons to do and the map is quite expansive. The characters are memorable and the story is quite engaging at times.

The gameplay is very similar to the Arkham or Spider-man games, so if you like those, you'll probably love this.

really fun game, story is condensed to 10 or so missions, But very intriguing to complete over a week

This is the last game I played on my old PC. I was half way finished; but the first game I picked up on my new one over many other titles immediately. This game was much better than I originally expected! You liberate camps and loot like Far Cry but everything revolves around the car like Days Gone with the bike. Just a very one of a kind game, I got it for $1.99 on sale but it's worth the $19.99 in my opinion.

Such amazing but underrated game, it was released on a very bad timing, so many great games came out in 2015 and Mad Max didn't get enough attention. About gameplay - It's literally Batman Arkham combat system meets Far Cry in Fallout-like apocalyptic wasteland with car combat. Sounds good, isn't it? And it's actually are!

good open world game but don't expect much

The story line and the mobile upgrades. Loved it!!!

I really love this game very underrated in my opinion much better experience than PS4 . Runs really good on modern hardware without any crashes . Highly recommend playing if you have not already

For a game that came out 10 years ago (2015) the open world in this amazing and the graphics are INSANE. The car combat is fun. The hand to hand combat is also fun. I like it when max rages and goes into fury mode and starts destroying his enemies one by one. The story is pretty good and the characters are well written, each with their unique voices and incredible personalities. I found myself getting attached to some characters due to the fact of how real the world felt and how the environment shaped and affected the characters though out the story. The struggle of finding food, water and fuel made it feel like a real post apocalyptic experience. Upgrading the car as you progress through the story/world makes the game more enjoyable.

if you love fast cars, fist fights survival and exploration then i highly advise to play Mad Max. It is an underrated gem for fans of the post-apocalyptic settings.

Absolute masterpiece of a game, hand to hand combat reminds me of the batman arkham games and the vehicular combat is perfection once you understand the fundamentals. I found the game first but quickly devoured the movies (original trilogy is PEAK) and this is just such a good time killer anywhere from 30 mins/an hour to 5+ hours (many nights have been wasted on this game but so worth it). I would recommend waiting for it to go on sale rather than pay full price though
