Darksiders II vs Mad Max
Darksiders II
Darksiders II follows in the footsteps of the original game in many ways, particularly the in-depth character progression system and an extensive skill tree, but this time around, you'll be playing as Death, the most formidable of all the four legendary Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Set off across a massive open world in order to redeem your brother's name, you'll stumble upon an ancient grudge that may decimate all of creation. Unlike War, Death is a lot more agile, allowing you to perform some impressive acrobatic acts which may unlock previously unaccessible paths.Despite the improved replayability, Darksiders II is simply that sort of game that you'll probably not return to often but is great enough to leave a distinct feeling and memory with you for life. And well, you get to play as Death himself... what's not awesome about that?
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!
