“✅ Big open world to explore ✅ Hand-to-hand Batman like combat. Beating up enemies during Fury Mode was very satisfying ✅ Vehicular combat is amazing ✅ Can collect and use enemy vehicles ✅ Can customize vehicles ❌ Even…”
“One of the most underrated games of all time. The gameplay is absolutely fantastic, brutal and satisfying. Driving around and wrecking other vehicles and running over other enemies is quite fun, especially the grappling…”
“Haven't even beaten the game at the time of writing this review. Underrated gem. GEM! This is a great game! The combat is the golden goose here, and is satisfying asf. The driving is great and feels really good, even on…”

“explosive, a bit repetitive, character/car progress, collectibles, scenery, immersive, good cutscenes and story.”
“An old game now but a really good unique game. Nothing like it. If your a fan of the mad max world and loved fury road, this is really for you and it really builds on the world (minus the rampant guns from fury road).…”
“The game is fairly good in terms of story it has some post-nuclear war elements 👍”

“Another case of "I played this on console, had to see how it handled on Steam" entry from me. Maybe I have a thing for underappreciated games to boot, but Mad Max really gives a good approximation of being Max out in…”

“A really solid game commonly found for a cheap price. The end-game can get a bit repetitive though.”
“I really like the whole thing. It is great best 3 dollars ever spent... ever.”
“This game is a 6.5 out of ten. Fun story, good action but the story is short. Would recommended buying this for 5 bucks. I platinumed the game and it was fun doing so.”

“The story has two layers: a simple one about revenge, and another deeper, surreal one. The few characters are well written and the voice acting is great. You can rush through the main story or enjoy the ubisoftey open…”
“guns and cars. loved it since i was a kid, love it still as an adult, i always manage to go back to it every year for a random challenge”
“A true masterpiece for my style of gameplay. I finished this game 6 time's, I like everything at it, story, driving, combat. There are games from 2025/2026 that they don't even touch the level of a 11 year old game. I…”

“This is my second time trying to enjoy this game and after completely clearing the lower half of the map I just can't be bothered to do more of the same boring grind with the top half. Maybe this game is more enjoyable…”
“Hoje eu oficialmente me despeço de Mad Max, um jogo com muito conteúdo, no qual passei boas horas do meu tempo explorando-o e me divertindo. Não posso negar que sua história e missões me pareceram superficiais,…”

“The game is really fun and does a great job at getting the feel of Mad Max. Pretty fun as an open world game in general, though achievement hunting is a pain in the rear (and currently impossible to 100% w/o mods). Game…”
“Incredibly fun, if sometimes buggy, RPG sandbox game! Even as someone with very little past experience with Mad Max, it was easy to jump in and get invested in the world. Strongly recommended if you need a chill…”

“Game that's trully underrated and can easy slid under your radar is actually pretty good. Game have a pretty solid graphic for 2015 release-they really did a good work with game mechanics especially with cars…”

“Game is actually really good sometimes the controls are little lose is my only complaint like the combat isnt as tight as arkhum knight and the driving is forza but its a fun game alot too it... sad no dlcs or sequal…”
“qol比较差，人物移速慢吞吞的 像罐头开放世界，就应该注重便利性，别搞什么长按互动了 车辆操控有点拉 升级靠做任务和搜刮，周期长，慢 战斗各种摔跤的动作模组做的很好，可惜其他模组太少，就只有轻重攻击和一些武器的模组 虽然这游戏群战整体难度并不难，但有时候会因为敌人频繁的攻击面临打投择 车战还算有趣，可惜车载武器共用一个冷却，很破坏战斗节奏，狙击的启动和退出也拖沓 另外这游戏排雷得专门开一种载狗车才能排，逆天…”

Let's start with the on-foot combat. It’s simple but incredibly fun. It has that classic, rhythmic brawler feel but with a lot of…”
