The story is kinda good but the pacing and the mechanics are soooo bad.
Driving is wonky and you don't have a handbrake. Fighting is basically near-brainless button mashing with some uninsteresting contextual counters that you unlock as you progress/gain wasteland fame. Most car upgrades are behind certain story or secondary missions.
The plot is kinda generic, but I don't know anything about the Mad Max franchise, so I let that pass and focused on VA performance and how well the characters were played. I must admit that all of them were pretty well made, although stereotypical. With the exception of Chumbucket, which was such a good character.
The large scale environments were quite impressive but the camps and sites looked very samey and the rewards for visiting map POIs were not good enough. The game also expects you to collect all of the enemy vehicles but it was simply not worth the effort.
It's not a bad game but it's certainly not as good as I was told
