Never understood why it got middling or even bad reviews, it was a complete & well-made (if not massively polished) open world game w visceral melee combat, fun vehicular combat, it was pretty addictive to explore, salvage & build a better hot rod, but not TOO long. A sequel that builds off of it could have been really good.

[@Zetler]

It’s a hidden gem. I’m shocked at how incredibly fun their car combat was and I hate car games.

[@LMDetorie]

I totally agree, car combat is usually one of my least favorite aspects of games that feature it, GTA very much comes to mind. The 'strategic slowdown' while aiming and the aim assist in general feels really good, you totally have to do your part and the system and the options keep you focused on strategy and fighting the enemy instead of fighting your controller/KBM

Agreed. And even then normal hand-to-hand combat is super satisfying, despite it just being another Arkham copy. They did such a good job at making the combat feel impactful. One of the most satisfying looking and feeling melee combats I've seen, ever.

[@Haterator]

It didn't invent the wheel in a new way, but I had a really good time playing it. I even platinumed it. I loved the design and graphics. It got repttive and I wish they would have been more creative with the quest and mission deisgns (maybe surprise us with some out-of-the-box DLC along the way). On a side note: To witness an electrical storm approaching from far away then slowly engulfing you and everything around you was an impresive sight to behold and quite the experience.

I still come back to this game from time to time and there's something so oddly beautiful about it's dystopian scenery. The engine roar every time you start the engine is always awesome. The combat is pretty simple but the sound design combined with the visceral animations from Max always makes for some "oooh fuck that was dope" moments. Them haymakers just hit the spot. I really wish there was a sequel.

Something about the desolate world, wind blowing, and V8 roaring that gives me peace

[@feralhawg867]

It seriously does need a sequel! Maybe they'll do another one when Furiosa's movie comes out in 2024. Since it's not considered "canon" even to the series' already loose canon, the ending is ambiguous enough to allow anything to happen. It would seem cheap to have Max lose everything AGAIN, but... that's what his character is all about, right? He keeps losing everything. With this one based on Gastown, it would be cool to see the Bullet Farm!

I started playing this game just to earn a platinum but had more fun than I was expecting to have. I never got the platinum cuz the online severs shut down for mad max and now some achievements can’t be earned, regardless it was way too fun to be sad over that

[@axelastori484]

Yes, there is only 1 secondary "mission" not possible for platinum. The one that required to receive i think 2000 scraps throught servers. Its 1 mission that doesnt let you complete 1 achievement. I think 48 possible out of 49. Not a really big problem. Also there is a bug: if your device gets shut down while saving while completing an outpost, it could get glitched and give it incomplete. It happened to me, but I restarted the story and I succeed

I guess the studio felt they had more important things to promote, or that they couldn't compete, but I feel that they failed the developers who deserve acclaim for the awesome job they did and failed the fans of the franchise and the gamers like me who would have been all over it at launch.

I love when games makes your transportation as singular as possible, makes you care about it a lot more. In GTA you buy your car, but if it explode you just rob another one. In Assassin's Creed you loose your horse, just steal another. In Shadow of the Colossus, without Agro what you're gonna do? Same thing as your bike in Days Gone and the Batmobile in Arkham Knight(for better or for worse). Max's car is an extension of him. Unlike Batman that can glide faster than the car or Talion runnin at F1 car speed, Max is just a guy, and a cripple one that can't run that fast. That connection with the vehicle both for the character and gameplay was great
