I really enjoyed Mad Max, but didn't particularly like Days Gone. So Mad Max for my vote.

Mad Max for me. Story and stealth is better in DG, but the driving, vehicle combat and hand-to-hand combat is sooo much better in MM.

The car is basically a second character you upgrade throughout the game.

DG for me was too ... Last of us-esque, without the memorable characters. Just an ok cover shooter with lots of stealth plus a vehicle, which was not very fun to drive or care about.

I picked up Days Gone well after it released, and didn't have the bugs, and got well and truly invested in it. Mad Max wasn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but Days Gone felt like it had more content in the world. I loved both, but probably Days Gone.

Mad Max was decent, but it chose setting over gameplay with how insanely empty it is, and while car combat is fun, driving without the combat really isn't and there's a huge amount of it to make the big empty desert feel like a big empty desert.

Days Gone is much better than Mad Max, which was still a good game. It’s a shame Days Gone launched with so many problems because the final product is so so good. Yeah the story is a just ok and the acting can be hammy and a little uneven. But the gameplay is great and I actually enjoyed the story.

I like them both in different ways. Overall I'd have to say Days Gone though, the game world is so nicely done.

I loved days gone, the horde mechanic and the power curve are done in an excellent way in the game, it was quite a unique experience.

Mad max was just a formulaic empty open world with shallow combat for me, I was bored out of my mind and never got even half way through.

I only played Days Gone and it was ok, but kind of glitchy and exploitable. It was one of those games where the boss battles have basically nothing to do with the regular gameplay loop which was super frustrating. Got stuck on the mega zombie boss fight and stopped playing.
