Mad Max
2015 · Action-Adventure · PC / Steam
Mad Max nails the feeling of tearing across a scorched wasteland in a weaponized machine, and the vehicle combat and car customization carry the experience far beyond what the repetitive mission design deserves. Avalanche Studios built a world that looks stunning and feels authentically hostile, but wrapped it in a progression loop that borrows too heavily from the open-world checklist playbook. If you can tolerate clearing similar camps and outposts for the satisfaction of building a better car and watching it shred through convoys, there's a lot to enjoy here. If that formula wears you down, the thin story won't be enough to pull you through.
