5 Games With Way Better Gameplay Than Story

Mad Max

Recommended Videos

Much like the movie, Fury Road, which released just a few months prior to Avalanche Studios’ Mad Max game, the action is more of a focus than the story. It’s about little more than the titular Max and his journey to the Plains of Silence in search of fuel. He comes across war boys along the way, and we’re taught about the lore of the region as we play, but it’s far from a complex plot.

The game’s appeal comes from its gameplay, much of which is deeply influenced by other action games. The fast-paced melee combat feels almost like a Batman: Arkham game with a different skin, and the traversal and landmark features feel remarkably similar to the likes of Assassin’s Creed and Ubisoft’s other open world games. Those features are popular, so it’s understandable that Mad Max would try to put its own spin on them.

It’s the car combat that stands out in Mad Max, though. The chases are brutal and fast, with you needing to use the right weapons and maneuvers at the right time. It’s this gameplay element that makes Mad Max stand out.
