A game generally in the spirit of the movie Fury Road; although this game has nothing directly to do with the movie. The setting is post-apocalyptic; humanity has turned on itself while the game world is populated by those without hope. Surprisingly, however, there are a lot of people around.

The story is entertaining although i wouldn't say too difficult; perhaps thoughtful in the end depending on your point of view. Achievements (if these are your thing) are challenging but based more on time invested than skill. Look deeper and there is black humour to darker elements throughout the game e.g. one Airplane quote, skeletons embracing, references to cannibalism and so on. Game lore (in essence postcards from the past) spread throughout the world are interesting to read and hear Max comment on. Car combat is entertaining.

Down sides? Maybe repetitive combat, decrease in game hardness as you upgrade, you appear to have the only shotgun in the world, lots of stuff to do (drive here do this etc), no death penalty, never really strained for ammo/fuel, instant travel (needed but by-passes game content late game imo).

Would I play the sequel? Yes?

Really chill game. Although slow paced and short in length, setting is atmospheric and the plot is not your usual.
