Some enemies die in one punch, but others are stronger and have distinct fighting patterns you have to exploit. You can’t just mash buttons to get a high score. While the game sounds simple, it requires a bit of strategy.
Independent Swedish developer Hello There made it look as if you’re playing on a dimly lit CRT monitor. Street Rage isn’t as crazy and over-the-top as the movie, but it does a fantastic job of channeling another ’80s staple: arcade games. You fight wave after wave of Nazi soldiers and robots while Triceracop, Hackerman, and Fury’s other friends cheer him on from the sidewalk. Kung Fury: Street Rage (for PlayStation 4, PC, iOS, and Android) takes the ridiculous premise - a warrior cop from the ’80s goes back in time to kill Hitler, the self-proclaimed kung fu master Kung Führer - and boils it down to a two-button beat-’em-up. Kung Fury wasn’t in theaters, but the viral YouTube film (and its short companion game) are too funny not to mention here.

(For a different take, you can read GamesBeat writer Aleksander Gilyadov’s full review.) Mad Max is at its best when you’re getting to know the strange, dangerous, and sometimes friendly people living in the wasteland, which is something the film could only hint at. The car combat isn’t as epic or exciting as the big chase sequences from Fury Road (that might change I haven’t finished it yet), but driving around is unnerving because War Boys can show up and attack at any time. You’ll spend a lot of time exploring the postapocalyptic wasteland to find car parts that’ll make your Magnum Opus vehicle strong enough to withstand the hordes of Scrotus. It’ll depend on how much you like tinkering with cars - the story focuses on building Max’s new set of wheels. Scrotus leads his own army of powder-covered War Boys, but unlike Joe’s men, these guys don’t have an obsession with Valhalla and all things shiny and chrome. In the beginning, Max loses his car to a warlord named Scabrous Scrotus who, according to his in-game bio, is one of the many sons of the terrifying Immortan Joe from Fury Road. But it still takes place in the same world. The Max Rockatansky you play as looks nothing like actor Tom Hardy (or even the previous Max, Mel Gibson), and Imperator Furiosa is nowhere to be found.
