I LOVE the Mad Max films, but I had a hard time getting into this game, missions are a bit too repetitive and got to a point I had no ideia what was happening in the story, but the world is incredibly gorgeous, well built and designed. The last third is quite good and the story builds up quite well in the last part, in a way it makes up the boring first part, but overall it was just "another one" open world game.
Not a great game, too much emphasis on mediocre tasks like eliminate enemy camps to progress through the story Which doesn’t even pick up until the final 2 missions
A license game that plays it safe and somehow manages to succeed even without putting anything new to the table. Mad Max isn’t an easy game to recommend, it doesn’t do anything of note and those who would love it are probably two distinct categories: the fan of its setting, especially of the latest film – Fury Road, – and those who indiscriminately like open world sandboxes with nothing much to do except repeat the same chores and find the same meaningless collectibles over and over again. If you are familiar with any recent UbiSoft titles, that’s basically it.
This time tho you get a sick sport car and also the option to pimp it as you see fit. That is quite fun.
No really, the best part of the game is in its car. You can modify basically every part of it, it rides magnificently and sounds even better. You feel invested in upgrading it and it is a pure joy to ride it everywhere, inside sandstorms, on empty roads, during battles and as a battering ram during sieges on enemy bases. The world is a huge barren wasteland that perfectly reflects the setting of the original movies, but both the characters and the plot lack the insightful mind of the original author, George Miller, and the enjoyable and trash punchline of the 80s. Players are going to do quests and side quests more for the heck of it and a urge to complete everything rather than for any sort of attachment to the titular main character – a huge downgrade both from Mel Gibson and Tom Hardy tbh – or any other character for that matter.
Nevertheless, the game is engaging if played in small doses so not to feel loaded by its monotony and sameness. Avalanche studio certainly made it looks beautiful and it is significantly optimised for PC performances. If you just like strolling around in your ride and punch the everliving sh-t out of mobs with a combat system akin to the Batman Arkham series – because that was the combat system which was ‘in’ at the time – then this game will provide tens of hours of pure enjoyment and thrill.

Exhilarating car combat and an honestly sometimes gorgeous world are plagued with copy pasted 100% completion nonsense and a lackluster story. Had my fun with it but not going to go back anytime soon.
The driving/combat is entertaining at first but gets repetitive, and the story wasn't strong enough to keep my hooked. Bummer.
Honestly Mad Max starts off very strong. Its full of action, life, exploration and its incredibly fun... but then the map opens up a bit more and you suddenly realise its already shown you everything it has in the first few hours and from that point on its a sheer slog of deserts, trading posts, camps and other metal structures that all look the same and act the same as each other leading to an attack of the boredoms long before the game even reaches its middle act.
Boring
who thought it was a good idea to set an open world in the desert
معندهاش شخصية بس فيها كام حاجة صايعة
Good gameplay but you do same thing that you learned in the first hour of the game over an over an over until you are bored or cutscenes no more
I remember enjoying this back when i played it, but maybe my opinion would change if i replayed.
Concerteza uma grata surpresa, não esperava nada desse jogo é fiquei viciado em sua gameplay que além de ser bem feita é muito divertida
I'm incredibly shocked how this game represents the themes and identity of Mad Max so well. It really is written like a love letter to the movies, and has a lot of soul. It's a typical story that is over done, but it pays so much homage to Mad Max that I'm still happy to have it. Very overdone open world mechanics that get repetitive, but amazing car combat, decent fighting. Really wish they expanded on the concepts more. The ending was kind of a let down and it would've benefited greatly from either a DLC or post-game content.
Surprisingly solid open world game, just wish the story had been a bit less bland and the characters a bit more weird.
Flawed, but fun.
One of my favourites open world games, with a world actually worth exploring. The biggest flaw of this game is the mechanic of threat level in areas. Upgrading yourself and your car with unlocks that come with lowering said threat levels, but that makes the game way easier as the enemies lessen with the level of the area. Even though it has that and a really cliché story, the combat, driving and its mechanics are stellar, one of the most hype and adrenaline inducing chases and fights. Things feel heavy, from the car rams to the punches, to the shotgun and the throwables.
The open world is justified: everything that you can see, you can explore. Every little place was made so that you can find something there, a card from the past, some bullets, a camping site, an old car, you name it. That's what an open world must feel like, not filled with buildings that you can't access and are just there to compose a landscape.
Worth the time I've spent into, loved every second of it.

I was very intrigued by this game initially...until I realized the grind and lack of story. I never finished it.
haha car go vrum vrum
combat is dull, driving/car combat is fun but gets repetitive. Story is mediocrely amusing, love chumbucket.
This was my second attempt at playing through this game. Unfortunately I remembered rather quickly why I stopped. Repetitive 100% gameplay, the driving becomes rather dull quickly, and the story is uninteresting. The combat is arguably very fun Arkham style with combos and counters, however it can get bogged down with the camera not zoomed out enough and being hit by an enemy off screen. There is also ALOT of animation locking where Max is not immune during it.
Overall, it's not a bad game especially if you're fond of a mind numbing grind, just not for me.

holy shit its so boring
Mad Max is a very addictive and fun open world game, with a great atmosphere and nice-feeling mechanics that allow you to zone out and breathe in the apocalypse in-between car wreckage and upgrading your car. One of the best open-worlders, even if not that great of a game
Definition of content bloat doesn't make a game fun
one of the most average games ive ever played. did i have fun? oh fuck yes i did
😴😴😴
wait why is this actually good
mad me
Esse jogo quase me fez acreditar que poderiam haver jogos licenciados bons, uma pena que ele é uma exceção, e não uma regra.
This game is just okay. I like elements of it and certainly feels like it was made just for Mad Max fans (which I can appreciate).
BUT..... How did this game not include The Nemesis System from Shadow of Mordor? It is published by the same studio so it would have been super easy to implement and would have fit perfectly with this games setting. SERIOUSLY CAN YOU IMAGINE!?!
Would have really elevated this game and made it something more memorable.

Talvez seja divertido um mundo pós-apocalíptico
An underrated gem!❤️
