I love this game but I am biased as a Metal Max fan as well as someone who has already completed it before on another console, this version being my 2nd playthrough of the title. Basically, this is a post-apocalyptic JRPG where you explore a relatively linear world collecting military vehicles and customizing them with various weaponry. The vehicles themselves do most of the combat outside of on-foot dungeons, in which you'll control your human party to complete. You have a wide assortment of crazy weapons to choose from (katanas, assault and sniper rifles, RPGs, hand grenades and even beam sabers) to fight off the wildest bosses (called SoNs, or Sons of NOA, the military AI that caused the nuclear apocalypse) and monsters you'll meet outside of an Atlus or Final Fantasy game. The main criticism with this game is that it is actually a remake of another game that released on PS4, with an entirely new combat system akin to Xenoblade and almost entirely removed storyline. This leaves the game itself to be this kind of sandbox thing where the main goal just becomes getting better vehicles and tanks and farming bosses for stronger tank and human weapons. The first issue people will have with the game is the almost nonexistent storyline. The main characters are still here and their interactions exist somewhat, but their lines are very brief and devoid of any real character development. In short, forget about the story of the game for the most part. The focus is on the gameplay. The great thing about this game is that the combat is very exciting once you understand the basics, as well as the process of getting and customizing your tanks into boss-nukers. There are around 5 difficulty levels in total which each feature their own set of weapons to discover as well as super bosses that are unique to certain difficulties. Graphics are kinda bland and to be honest a bit ugly. The vehicles themselves are extremely well designed and representative of real world weaponry (you start out with a tank that is basically an M1A1 Abrams) and later unearth more powerful vehicles as you explore. The OST is absolutely fantastic and I listen to it in my free time sometimes. It's another highlight of this game. I would mostly recommend this game to people who enjoy more grindy JRPGs without wanting to worry much about story. There is also a cute shiba that acts as a 5th party member who carries it's own set of weapons and armor.

I bought Metal Max Xeno Reborn with some hesitation, given the low Metascore and the negative reviews... But I'm actually really happy I've played it! And that's because this game is really unique, and it feels like a lot of passion was put into its creation. Two of the highlights of the game are the cool post-apocalyptic atmosphere (depressing but with a touch of hope) and the beautiful soundtrack by Satoshi Kadokura (with some really fascinating electronic pieces). Another really exciting aspect of the game are the tanks: finding tanks, collecting/building/fitting tank parts, driving the tanks around and fighting the enemies with them is really galvanising! Unfortunately, the game doesn't have a strong plot, and the dialogues are really brief and few. Because of this, I felt quite indifferent to the various objectives, and found the characters rather shallow. These limitations are also due to a lot of stuff being removed from the original version of this game (called Metal Max Xeno) - which I recommend giving a look at, on some YouTube videos (e.g. compare the Reborn intro with the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ-lU7F9i0A Another issue is the uneven difficulty of the game: sometimes you destroy some enemies with one shot, and other times you get destroyed with one hit - this makes some parts very trial-and-error. Also, during the first playthrough, you have to avoid the very powerful Wanted Enemies, making a big part of the exploration just an escape. The game also doesn't make clear what you can do to become stronger, e.g. how to best customise your tanks or how to spend the characters' ability points. For this reason, I recommend reading this general guide before playing the game, as I found it suuuper useful: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/321436-metal-max-xeno-reborn/faqs/79992/introduction If you're a fan of JRPGs like me, and you care about a game atmosphere, originality and 'heart' more than graphics and level of polish, I really recommend this game, especially on discount!

Too be honest the original metal max xeno was better than reborn and i wish they ported that one to pc instead.

July 2024

Don't dive into it expecting an easy game, the grind is real (although there's a nice money exploit where you buy an engine, upgrade it to its final model, and sell it back for more than you spent), and the game reminds you of that early on by having a Sand Shark (formerly a WANTED enemy in games like Metal Max 2) right outside the base of operations. If I have some things to complain is the lack of a semi-auto battle system (as in: having the characters I'm not controlling acting automatically while the one I'm controlling would be on manual), and the fact the camera is 100% manual (which means that navigating outside the battle involves using both sticks at once). Thankfully the battles are still turn based. Worth mentioning that, despite the "Controller Required" tag, it DOES have a (fixed) keyboard control... And oddly no mouse control in this, not even for camera, and the camera is handled by holding Shift+Arrow Keys. So, yes, prefer controller.

+ Pleasant music An unusual world It is interesting to explore, as it is well rewarded for curiosity - There is practically no plot There are glitches, but not fatal 7/10 For connoisseurs of unusual JRPGs By and large, this is a regular JRPG in a post-apocalypse where you have to hunt monsters and robots with tanks and other equipment. It's hard to recommend it because it has enough disadvantages that you can easily find fault with, I generally liked the game, although I don't see any point in replaying it. But after passing, new game modes open up. P.S.: If you do not pick up trash and enemies do not disappear after death, then change the region in Windows to the American one, if after that the black screen, then change to England. After I changed to England, I went through the whole game and no more glitches were noticed.
