Oh man, so Sony just went bonkers with their PS Store Summer Sale. I mean, talk about some crazy cool discounts on PS4 and PS5 games — digital only, though. There’s this 2015 action-adventure thing based on some film series that critics adored. Sound interesting? Yeah, thought so.
So, here’s the kicker — “Mad Max” is going for just $4.99. Can you believe it? Avalanche Studios whipped it up, with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment slapping their name on it. Normally it hangs out at $19.99, but now it’s like 75% off. Pretty wild, right? If you’re on PS4 or PS5, jump on this fast, though — offer’s up on August 14 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Don’t ask me why that exact time. It’s all so… specific?
Okay, imagine this: you’re Mad Max — the solo warrior dude in this absolutely savage post-apocalyptic world. Cars? Yeah, they’re your lifeline here. It’s all about fighting to stay alive in The Wasteland, battling nasty gangsters, on foot and in your cool ride. Max — the guy just wants out of the chaos to find peace in the so-called “Plains of Silence.” Quite the dreamer, huh? Meanwhile, you’ve got to do all these sketchy missions, hunting for stuff to create the ultimate battle beast of a vehicle. Fun times, right?
Oh, and when Mad Max dropped on PS4 back in 2015, folks’ reactions were kinda mixed. Metacritic — that site with the scores — slapped a 69 on it from 71 crit reviews. Not amazing, not terrible. We actually threw an 8 out of 10 at it in our review. Weirdly, I liked it. The brawls and car fights were a blast, with upgrades and customization that kept things spicy. Sure, it got a tad repetitive, but hey, you’ll squeeze tons of hours out before hitting snooze mode. That’s my take anyway.
