How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Mad Max
A post-apocalyptic open world where driving comes first: you upgrade your car, the Magnum Opus, with scrap, yank snipers off their towers with the harpoon and, on foot, brawl in the style of the Batman Arkham games.
