15 Overlooked PS4 & Xbox Games You Need To Stop Ignoring
3. Mad Max
Missed off many peoples' to-buy lists thanks to dropping on the exact same day as Metal Gear Solid V, Mad Max never got a look in... because hardly anybody knew it existed.
It's a shame, because what Avalanche Studios put together has brilliantly impactful vehicle combat with experimental in-motion abilities to win the day, twinned with Arkham-style brawling and a handful of survival mechanics. You'll need to find petrol to fuel your customisable ride, stock up on water to withstand the more harsh parts of the environment, and the storms? Mad Max's hurricanes are a feast for the eyes - just trying to stay alive without being flattened by a piece of debris is exhilarating in itself.
All of the aforementioned mechanics are spread across a sizeable and rewarding open world - one dotted with outposts to take over, vehicles to collect, parts to craft and more insane mission-givers than every GTA combined.
