The Most UNDERRATED Post Apocalyptic Open World Game Ever

The Mad Max game was an incredibly well done adaptation that had to compete against other heavyweight open world games releasing at the same time. Let's take a look back.

Having worked on this game from start to finish, it really warms my heart to see this video. Thank you for playing and enjoying Mad Max!

You made such an amazing game! I'm playing it at the moment and I'm going for 100%.

[@trombulan]

Thank you too sir! I enjoyed it every bit for sure!

[@kyles7394]

It's an absolute masterpiece. I replay it once a year. Whoever did the sound is incredible. The engines, the shotgun blasts, the explosions. I wear a headset and crack it at full volume. When the Magnum Opus hits debris and that hollow thud emits, I get chills.

So you're one of the people who couldn't pronounce "Dinky Di" correctly ? I suppose you pronounce "emu" as "eemoo" as well ? Next time, maybe do your research.

[@MoonWielder]

Never understood why Mad Max got bad reviews. It was a complete and well-made open-world game with visceral melee combat. You could even drive around and blow up enemy cars, if you wanted to. It's such a shame so many people out there overlooked this game.

Glad I read your comment, my mate put it on my ps4 'cos it was like £5 when he was also installing ghost of Tsushima for me, he said it was a great, fun game which he really enjoyed. I just happened to watch this vid and I remembered I've had it for almost a year now and I've never even played it yet... After reading your comment and it also being said to be somewhat reminiscent of rdr2, which I loved so much I 100%'d it, I now know that I've sooo got to play this game. Great comment, it's inspired me to play it.

[@verynuggable]

Same, same. Picked it up cheap on a Steam Sale and it's easily the best few quid I've spent in quite a while. I already feel like I've more than got my money's worth and there's a whole ton of stuff yet to explore

[@ArtielNecro]

I picked this up for £3.99 a few weeks ago on the PS store and it’s absolutely amazing. Looks gorgeous and so much fun to play. I picked up a couple of recent ‘AAA’ titles at the same time and this is the one I can’t put down.

[@nickbriggs8059]

Just bought it and I’ve played $70 games that were a fraction of what this game offers. I love Bethesda but the creation club is so behind in every aspect compared to UE.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

2015 was an epic year for gaming, Mad Max just went under the Radar

[@FoolHardyQueso]

Even later on when it became an ps plus game people weren't really talking about it

[@jessemiller3108]

Reminds me of Horizon FW. I LOVE that game, but I almost didn't go back to it because Elden Ring was such a power house of a game.

[@dreamsickle955]

It was meh at best got super repetitive real quick

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

Maybe at the time, but holy shit people can not shut up about it now. It has crossed from underrated into overrated at this point.

Loved it until my save glitched and kept me from completing everything

[@D3JXY]

Mad Max... one of the very few games i completed then carried on playing just to continue my collectibles and upgrade paths. Didn't realise it was such an unknown.

Same here brother. I played the heck out of that game man. I found all the collectibles and maxed out every single thing. LOVED it

I played it for the first time a year or so ago. I remembered some earlier reviews pitching this 'most underrated game' angle so I thought let's give it a try. Man, what a magnum opus it turned out to be!!! Up there with some of the best open world games I've ever played. Seeing Falcon getting excited about it all over again just made my day! 😁

[@Diginixx]

I only played through it last year and was blown away how great it was. I did literally everything in the game which I rarely do. Very underrated gem.

[@MrRainbowSprinkles]

Wish I could’ve been more like you in my past with video games. I was a completionist and hated it most of the time

[@bredin9199]

Yeah I got it for $5 , it’s a great game

[@hypyboy]

I still remember the first time I wandered past the first zone, or when you have to go in the airport. I was so stressed out. This game manages to create ambiances like no other has managed to do since.

[@Bjoern_1897]

the airport was wild

[@christerolausson2702]

Agree! But I wish the developers would’ve brought some more jump scares and ambushes “from the sounds” (if you get what I mean). Love the game.

[@Wonzling0815]

The airport is an amazingly creepy location...topped only by the suburban neighborhood buried in the dunes. I stumbled into a hole in the sand and found myself in an almost completely intact home strewn with children's drawings and toys. Looking around, at one point I swear I heard a child's voice but I don't know if that was a really mean easter egg or my imagination because I was so creeped out.

[@joshuajacobs9525]

This was my second favorite game of that year behind Witcher 3. This game is soooo underrated and I am happy you made this video. Those dust storms were the big standout. When you'd see one off the distance rolling in and the look of it was just terrifying and then the sound and feel when it washes over you was to this day, the most amazing type of transformation I have seen.

[@stew9168]

I absolutely love this game, and always come back to visit it. The vehicle combat, the hand to hand combat, and the story along with building the magnum opus how you wanted it was awesome.

[@rafaelrenno]

I remember getting really addicted to this one and was really surprised how almost nobody talked about it. I'd love to see another game like that and in that setting. Also, I loved the brutality of combat while it doesn't look like a martial art expert.

[@gokoudes]

I was addicted, too! I was caught off-guard with how much the world drew me in. I actually 100% this one, because the collectibles would give more background into that world. It added so much to the atmosphere and made the game world feel real and “lived in.” The crazy part is that this game was good enough for me to 100% it using that awful Steam controller… 😂😂 I forgot - collectibles give us the big reveal that the entire desert game world used to be the bottom of the ocean.... the descent into that world.. it's really great storytelling...

[@jaranth]

After seeing this video, I purchased and played it on PC. Over 50 hours later, I can say that I had a damn good time... no regrets! Thanks for a great recommendation.

Its one of my special favourites this game, wish it had more support in the beginning because that might have lead to more DLC at the time. One thing that I think is relevant that you forgot to mention is the amazing sound design in the game. From the sound effects, the music and just how the surround sound works, it really compliments the atmosphere and gameplay style. Thankyou for putting it in the spot light again, really appreciated.

I'm a 47-year-old gamer who grew up with the terrifying vibe of Mad Max and the Road Warrior. This game perfectly captures the tension and fear I felt as a 10-year-old watching these movies. It was the first game I ever played on my PS4, in fact, was the reason I purchased it in the first place. I was not disappointed. It is #9 on my all-time favorite games list. Thank you Falcon for highlighting this great game. I even emailed Avalanche and thanked them for a great connection to my favorite movies. They responded and were very cool about it. I hope they do another one at some point.

I loved this game. I played and beat it multiple times. The fighting and shooting was on point, the vehicle physics and engine sounds were absolutely amazing (they used a special program to make the engine sounds as real as possible), the dust storm weather effects were top notch (you actually wanted to find cover away from the storms cause they could mess you up). The world felt barren but not empty cause you were always finding places to scavenge for items.

[@GameEsthetics]

This game still holds up so well… Cool to see you guys bringing attention to it in 2023! Thanks for keeping me entertained on my lunch break 😊

The skybox, the lighting, the customization, chumbucket, always getting in to the car on the left side just to remember that it's on the other side This game was amazing.

[@chrisbriault7234]

My wife got me the game for Christmas years ago, and while I didn’t play it right away, when I did I wasn’t expecting such a great game. Getting fuel wasn’t a chore, and once you level up your car, it’s just gets more fun to drive around.

[@sloth7d526]

Can confirm, one of my best game purchases on a steam sale for $10. It was SOOO fun! And the game looks crisp af @ 1440p. The story, game play, and sound stage for the game is so satisfying. Edit: Actually you can get scrap to be automatically collected by a scrap crew, but you have to upgrade the base that is in the section of the map you're in first. Before you upgrade to scrap crew, it's all manual, but it's still fun though. Edit2: One of my favorite pastimes is to load up the game, and find scrap locations with history relics to see how the world was before the apocalypse. I found this really cool location that was a 2 or 3 story house fully underground with sand filled up everywhere, furniture destroyed, and having to turn my flashlight on to explore. I legit felt like I was there exploring the world after it turned to shit and that it could be our world like that. The atmosphere in this game is simply unparalleled.

[@Faydid]

[@007feck]

[@flamingburritto]

Everything about this game is absolute PERFECTION! only thing that felt underwhelming was the final boss fight. Felt a little rushed. But everything else was amazing! This game should've had a NG+ mode too tbh cuz the flamethrowers get good only by the end and by then you have already killed almost all of the map. But that in an NG+ would've been absolutely epic!

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

Well you could eventually unlock the original Interceptor and the original Mad MAx outfit, and straight up role-play as Max if you wanted to. That's kind of how I did my NG+

[@snakeplissken1754]

Yeah this game is definitely a gem, I really enjoyed it and was hoping for a follow up. The anti hero role, the grim world, the brawling really gave me a fun time.

[@sk1ppman]

This game is an underrated masterpiece. It's a shame the timing of it's launch was so poor that it got dismissed as just a tie in game. It holds up very well even to this day. The reason everything feels so desolate is that you're literally driving on what used to be the bottom of the ocean. You can see this in the caves with all the coral formations and how the rocks are weathered. It's also why there's so many broken ships everywhere. My only complaints are that I wish there was more variety in the boss characters models and the ending seemed a bit rushed.

[@mattlenz9427]

The combat was so bad ass too the flying arm bar counter was really cool and there’s nothing as satisfying as going into fury mode and suplexing people and it was brutal af some of the counters made me cringe just because how painful they looked combat was really fun too I almost liked it even more than the Arkham combat

[@zelmo73]

Yep! Whenever I see this game on sale for $5 on Steam or Xbox Marketplace, I just shake my head at the amount of disrespect that it gets. This game had a whopping *ONE* DLC, and it was free! No loot boxes that cost you money, no extra missions or skins that had to be purchased, no Day One patches, etc. The game shipped as a complete game; probably the last game to do that that was not an indie.

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

I'm so dumbfounded that people still think it's underrated aside from the initial release period. Do you see the comments on this video alone? It's actually overrated at this point.

[@MacOriginalGamer]

Mad Max is, by far, my favorite open world game. The sheer size of the game is beyond belief! Even when you drive "OFF THE MAP" the world just keeps on going. I love pretty much everything about it. Chum is much needed comic relief. I was surprised to find the rock/paper/scissors Arkham-style hand-to-hand combat. That was a welcome change from the usual "fighting mechanics" of other games. Definitely recommend Mad Max to all of my friends, if they haven't played it yet. Great review, Falcon!

[@j-p4194]

Such a great video, thanks Falcon we need more videos like this! I had no idea about Mad Max. It's true there's no real struggle in "post apocalyptic" game genre but to hear that there's a real struggle and a deliberate pacing to get what you need instead of raiding military checkpoints for the best loot sounds great to me! I hope to hear about more gems like this one in the near future!

She was a more-than-casual console gamer but I got her hooked on this, DayZ Epoch mod, and ESO (back when it was in beta). We really bonded thru them and every so often we'll load up mad max and play around. It really is a hidden gem.

[@XD9scCC]

This is my favorite game of my 35 years of gaming. If for no other reason than the atmosphere of this game is all encompassing. I can't play this game without feeling like I've lost all hope. There's no escaping it in the game. There isn't even any reprieve in the home bases. Everything about this games beats you down. Ambiance is dreadful...in a good way. Great production. I also remember being disappointed when the ammo limitation was so strict. I wound up close combating every enemy. Except for the sniper rifle.

Purchased this game a while ago on sale and I’ve finally gotten around to playing it. Everything you said is correct. This game is very enjoyable.

[@matricepeinard7879]

Feels desolate but the brutality makes it so rewarding. Véhicule fights are memorable, you become the bringer of desolation by what feels like the skin of you teeth. And the atmosphere is really reminiscent of mad Max 2, the world feels apocalipted from 500 years and yet max remembers the time before.

Thank you for the video falcon! I got this game shortly after release. At the time I lived in a really dry area with minimal shrubbery and tons of dust. After playing a bit of Mad Max and then going outside I would see those red insignias at the corners of my eyes lol. I was going through a lot at the time and this game gave me comfort. I'm gonna download it again for the nostalgia.

I love this game. I replayed it awhile back and I’ve been wishing we could get a sequel or a remake. I love the mechanics and the story

[@bifemen2]

I spent many hours playing this game and I enjoyed every minute. I would definitely recommend.

[@freddyb2k4l47]

I’ve played Mad Max completely through 4 times…& im sure I will do it again soon. The combat & explosions are so much fun.

[@kakolicht]

A true underrated and underappreciated gem of a game.

[@The1Overmind]

It wasn't until I put several hundred miles in my car that I realized all the tanker ships that appeared "beached" in a desert in the middle of nowhere set the tone that these deserts were the ocean floors of the old world. Such a good game!

@0:05 man i forget sometimes how completely STACKED 2015 was for games. i don't know if we've ever had a year that big since.

[@Slippy3839]

I played the hell out of this game I loved it. 1 of the best games of 2015

[@danaklaren4182]

I totally agree that this was an underrated game. I think it suffered from a few things ... like you pointed out, there were a ton of great games that overshadowed it. Also, the first few hours of Mad Max are probably the weakest part of the game and I think a lot of people quit before getting further. I am surprised that you didn't really go into details about the convoy battles... In my opinion, these were the absolute best part of the game and also one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had in my 40+ years of gaming.

[@literallyunderrated]

I loved the convoys. That part really felt like the movies. I was just disappointed that once you finish them, they’re gone and don’t reappear

[@danaklaren4182]

@@literallyunderrated Yeah, they were the best part of the game in my opinion and it was definitely lack of forethought on the part of the devs to make them not replayable. I would have loved to go back and replay them repeatedly.

[@mikdan8813]

Just bought the game. I met some thirsty wretches in the desert, wanted to give them some water. As soon as the first drop touched the guy's lips, two cars (one of them packed with explosives) came outa nowhere and decided to ram into us head on for no reason. The cars ran over the wretches and both exploded, also killing the drivers. I was completely unscathed, surrounded by 5 corpses and 2 blazing wrecks. Whole thing lasted about 3 seconds. That was THE MOST Mad Max thing I have ever seen in my life.

[@thekillnoobwtf]

One of my most favorite games that I had the pleasure to play.

[@TrevorLahey3]

Mad Max. One of my favorite games

[@gameranxTV]

👍🏼

[@raymond6]

I am Australian and Falcon you made laugh, thank you. Your aussie accent wasn't perfect but you were honest about it and I found it funny. Mad Max is in my backlog so I haven't played it yet but I can't wait to. Thanks again. Cheers mate!

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

I loved this game and really wanted a sequel

[@NostalgiaNet8]

Mad Max is incredible, especially at 60fps. Imagine if they made a sequel with the Nemesis System.

[@douggiles7647]

I think it might have been your old video that made me buy Mad Max about 6 months ago and I fell right in love with it and couldn't stop playing until I finished it. Definitely a great game, would love to see them make a second.

[@Skidaddle_36]

This is a MUST for those who had missed out! There’s a little learning curve but damn the game feels great after you figure it out.

[@IstvanThree]

Yes, this was a sad story and I feel real bad for the developers. Can´t even say, what was going on there back then - too many good games and not enough time? I myself missed out on it, even if I really liked the Demo. It is on my "But one day!" list 👍

[@Reaper-hn1jt]

It actually released on the same day as Metal Gear 5 did so not a great start on that front :(
