Mad Max is a polished open world brawler with Arkham style hand to hand combat and satisfying car fights, all wrapped in a strong wasteland atmosphere. It runs smoothly on Steam Deck and even on older hardware, and the game still looks good. The price makes it feel like a steal, with plenty of content for the money. The main drawbacks are repetition, a slow start, and some grind if you chase completion. A solid pick if you want a fun, well optimized road warrior romp.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. Multiple comments call it a great or unbelievable deal at under $2, saying it easily pays for itself in content and fun. One comparison notes GOG is around $3, but $1.59 is still a strong buy.

  • Yes. It runs very well on Steam Deck and has been described as optimized enough to play smoothly on aging hardware at high settings. It can also handle 4K Ultra on capable PCs.

  • The on-foot combat is very Arkham-like, with timing, parries, and QTE-style melee, while the vehicle combat is a distinctive hybrid with satisfying car battles. It is also described as Rage-like, with some players wishing for more gun usage.

  • It can start slowly, with the car feeling underpowered at first, and the gameplay can become a bit repetitive over time. A few upgrades make the vehicle combat much more fun, and the story-and-missions path is the best way to avoid the grind.

  • Yes, it has a large open world and enough content for long playtimes, with one player reporting about 50 hours and still not finishing a completionist run. The salvage-heavy completion route is a serious grind, so sticking to the story and missions is the faster way through.

Shocked at how many 10+ year old games outshine some of the new stuff.

Meh two bucks may as well pick it up. Sometimes these older games are amazing.

Feels like a VERY serviceable Arkham game on foot, with satisfying car combat. Does almost nothing wrong, it's just not super inventive outside of a couple cool car combat/environmental things. Combat is a bit derivative, but done very well (and if you're gonna copy do it from the greats and do it well, and they did). Optimized great. Played it on aging, but decent hardware and had high settings running smooth.

This was also a great game that unfortunately struggled at launch because it came out the same day as MGS5, an exemplar of a game

Arkham/Shadows of War gameplay with car combat. Great game! I replay every few years and wish they made an expansion/sequel. Don't get nervous when the car is underpowered at first. That's starts a bit slow, but you're just a few upgrades from it becoming very fun! In fact, I think I might have to fire it up again!

Great game, I really enjoyed the world and wish there was a sequel with the wind-powered vehicles.

I had fun playing this one. It does get a bit repetitive and those darn dust storms are a PITA. This game is worth every penny.

This game is a lot of fun. Reminded me of the Rage series from Bethesda. Driving around in a rusty car.
