Let's just start off, it's another great game published by Warner Brothers.


The game definitely gives a "Mad Max" feel and really matches the movies (from what I've seen) in my opinion. Fighting is great as ever. Pretty close (if not exactly the same) to Batman Arkham. When it comes to hand to hand combat, there isn't hordes of enemies to attack unlike Batman titles, but even with less targets it is still a interesting and exciting fight.

Car functionality is pretty good. A lot better than the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Granted, they're both really different but at times I had issues driving the Batmobile. Even though it is great, it still doesn't compare any Need for Speed driving, but not bad at all.

Graphics are very nice in this game. I am running at "max" settings and have no issues what so ever. Even tested on a lower grade machine and even on medium settings, it looks perfectly fine and runs solid as well.

Regarding story and the open-world aspect of the game. I would say that the story was very good, and really protrayed the sadness of this wasteland and kinda wanted to make me cry at times (perhaps I'm just a baby!). Not exactly sure where it falls into place with the original stories as for I've never watched them, but even from a view of knowing nothing about the story of Max, it made perfect sense and really left you the ablity to do whatever you want. Rather you want to wait on the main story and do side-missions or even other way around, it totally leaves the choice up to you. When you first begin, you think there is a lot of places to see in the small area you are currently at, but then you look at your map and see the miles of miles of endless driving to the very top of the map, you think otherwise! That feature made it even better, offering lots of areas to explore and left plenty of room for driving or taking down enemy vehciales. There are only about 6-8 different kind of side missions which are spread across the whole wasteland of Mad Max. While it kinda gets to be repetitive, it can still keep you interested. I however see that once your car is fuly upgraded, there will be no purpose to playing.


Quick recap!

Great game of Warner Brothers, fighting is awesome and intense, driving functionality is farily decent, story was great and open-world / side missions are enjoyable but also repetitive. There are a few minor changes I would have made to the game, but honestly...they don't matter as much cause they did great everywhere else in the game. So again, if you like Batman titles, you'll more than enjoy this game. If you like open-world game with a mix of Batman / Fallout setting, this is a great game to spend countless hours on.
