Summary

In Mad Max, the player takes on the role of titular character Mad Max; a dangerous melee fighter and can use his attacks to kill almost anyone. His weapon of choice is his shotgun. He is assisted by another man called Chumbucket. Chum mainly works with Max to build and upgrade the Magnum Opus vehicle. Mad Max will feature a variety of weapons which Max can use to defeat enemies. Though the shotgun is Max's weapon of choice, ammo is scarce, and so melee options are the smarter way to go. The 'thunderstick' is an explosive weapon that can be lanced into an enemy's chest, crackling like a lit dynamite fuse before blowing the victim to smithereens. The Harpoon is also one of Max's favorite weapon though it can only be used in-vehicle with Chum riding along. Max's Magnum Opus can be combined with a speedy V12 engine and powerful ramming ability to destroy enemies's vehicles and weaponry. When simultaneously driving and aiming, the game enters slow-motion and allows you to toggle between targets. Not much is known about the vehicular combat and its features. Mad Max will feature crafting system which can be used to craft new weapons and tools. Max's garage can also be used to change and modify the car's engines, chassis, wheels, body works including paint treatment and the “shell” of the auto-mobile and the car’s weight and attributes update accordingly. Max can also be upgraded though it's plans hasn't fully been implemented. Many choices are given in the game, such as, either playing silently or aggressively. Max can also get guidance from Chum about how he can complete his objectives strategically. However, its largely up to the player how he can complete the objectives.

Long live Magnum opus!

FUN, this game was so enjoyable. The car gameplay was felt so right, felt punchy, fast, and exhilarating. The open world was a treat to explore. Can't wait to properly replay this beauty.

Played on: Playstation 5
Version: Playstation 4
Edition: Digital

I've tried to play this game on three separate occasions & this by far was the better run. I still think that it's a gorgeous looking game (especially for its age) but I I just think the story is so bland & boring. Another HUGE problem I had was the melee. It is so clunky & ridiculous that once 2 enemies or more surround you, you're screwed.

I am putting this one on pause for the meantime but I can honestly say that I will be back. I love watching your car come to life in such a rewarding way. Fun, beautiful, & at times boring.

Final verdict: Buy it
