I think so, but it depends on your tolerance for repetitive hand to hand combat and activities (see list of activities above), and how much you like sightseeing (though you don't have to clear all activities in an area to progress in the mediocre story). The car combat is pretty fun, though, once you've upgraded your car a few times and the convoy attacks are for me the highlight of the game.

The combat reminds me of the batman games or shadows of mordor so  tolerable.

Oh, it's competent, it just lacks the number of options in later game that those two had.

What impressed me a lot about Mad Max is how every location is hand crafted. The props will be similar/the same, the loot sites all will be put together differently. Sometimes a small underground lair, another time a small camp near a ridge, then just two shipping containers mashed together, etc.

I like simple combat. Brain smash.

For some scenery porn, PC Gamer has a 5k resolution gallery for the game: http://www.pcgamer.com/mad-max-5k-gallery-visions-from-the-wasteland/

Beat it. All story missions completed, all areas free of Scrotus's influence, all strongholds maxed out. Good story ending, although predictable and grim. Still have a few Wasteland missions and a lot of lootable areas to clean up.
