Mad Max vs Planet Explorers
Mad Max
Mad Max lets you play as the enigmatic lone warrior, Mad Max himself, as you roam the brutal post-apocalyptic world to not only survive against the crazy bandits but also to take down the warlord. With a strong focus on insane vehicular combat, you'll need to scour the land for salvagable supplies and items so you could build the ultimate "death machine".As you might expect of a Mad Max-inspired game, there isn't any stealth elements to it although its gameplay may remind some of Shadow of Mordor, without all the magic stuff of course, as the game has a combo-based melee combat in addition to the mayhem you can cause with your guns and vehicles. Not to mention, the content in this game is simply huge, much like Ghost Recon Wildlands, though the game might not be as tactical or as team-oriented as the latter.
Mad Max is definitely the game to play if you're a fan of the franchise or enjoys open world shooters. Do give it a try!
Planet Explorers
Planet Explorers is an exploration-driven, sci-fi-themed sandbox RPG where you play as one of the several pioneers who made it to the new planet, Maria… well, barely since you crashed landed on the planet. Here, you’ll need to work with your fellow pioneers to build a life and a colony for yourselves.This game is nothing short of amazing for a completely free-to-play title. Its crafting system is incredibly convenient for the player and despite the grind, gathering resources from the environment can be quite a relaxing endeavor, all thanks to the beautiful music and the immersive ambiance. Besides crafting and gathering materials like wood, rubber, and minerals, you can also hunt the local fauna for animal-based items like meat and animal fat which are needed to craft certain items. You can even tame these creatures and turn them into mounts!
Planet Explorers also comes with a rather nice storyline, an MMO-like questing system, sandbox features which allow you to build magnificent structures similar, in some ways, to Minecraft; and even build your own custom vehicles from scratch and take it out for a spin by driving around the massive map in this game.
Although the game seems to fall short of its potential of being a pretty darn great MMO game because the developers done messed up the codes, Planet Explorers still manages to offer a rather decent single-player experience. Plus, the game's completely free to play now and it doesn't contain any of those annoying ads or micro-transactions since the game was not built that way. Definitely worth a try!
