Idk, how many of you folks play vidya games, but I thought it'd be fun to discuss/recommend the very fun Mad Max game from a few years ago. I'm not much of a gamer. Between creative pursuits, movies, music, books, art, and podcasts I don't get around to a lot of games. I play maybe 3 to 4 games a year. But, with the quarantine I've had more time to play games. With the Miller mini starting up, I thought, maybe I'd give the old Mad Max game a replay. I really think it's worth a DL if you're looking for something to do between watching Lorenzo's Oil and Babe: Pig in the City.
I'm replaying Mad Max after the usual urge I get after watching of Fury Road and I'm surprised that besides Rage 2 the whole Vehicular Combat/Action/Adventure genre really doesn't have a lot of representation.
I know of Crossout, but I feel like that's lacking in a lot of aspects that Mad Max had. Resource management, exploration, etc. However, it does excel in the amount you're able to customize your vehicle. I think a game that could combine the strength of these games could potentially be amazing.
A game where you're exploring the world, scavenging different physical car parts (not generic "scrap" as in Mad Max) and then using those to create an amalgamation of something that resembles a car.
Just an aside, if you haven't played Mad Max I wholeheartedly suggest you give it a try. You can usually pick it up for 5$ and in my opinion, it's still one of the better open-world games.
2015's Mad Max on the PS4 was/is a massively underrated gem, just like Days Gone. I'm a huge fan of the films and the game and am only 5 hours into Days Gone and falling in love with it too.
I couldn't help notice a LOT of simiralities between the two- and it doesn't take away from Days Gone... it makes me happy such an awesome overlooked game like Mad Max got a spiritual successor which is just as good, maybe better;

Currently mad Max is on sale for five dollars on the Xbox one I havenβt seen much gameplay nor do I know much about it. Is it worth buying, like how many side activities are there is there much replayability is it enjoyable overall?
how many hours can you play before you finish the story? i am thinking of buying it but i have heard the post-ending gameplay is not so much fun. i completed gta 5 main story in about a week of playing and i guess the difficulty is similar to thisο»Ώ.
I love it too! It is so much fun!!!! Thank you Developers - Avalanche Studios!
I play video games for limited time to make me feel good and energized.. So I mostly focus on story driven or mostly rpg type games which provide a unique insight
