* CreatorBacklash: During the press tour for ''[[Film/FuriosaAMadMaxSaga Furiosa]]'', Creator/GeorgeMiller expressed his dissatisfaction with the game, saying he thinks it is "not as good as [he] wanted it to be" and would rather have someone like Creator/HideoKojima take his spin on the franchise.

* ExecutiveMeddling: [[https://x.com/CHSundberg/status/1793611234249482268 According to a former Avalanche employee]], WB Games initially signed on a pitch for an open world game by a developer known for making such titles, only to turn back and try to force the game into being a completely linear experience. They eventually relented after a year of development had been wasted.

* SleeperHit: Ironically, just like [[Film/MadMaxFuryRoad the film that was released at the same time]], the game became a sleeper hit. The main reasons for it launching in this fashion were the negative expectations of a potential cash grab franchise tie in game, critical reviews that were nonsensically negative, and the releases of ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' & ''Metal Gear Solid V''.

* RecycledScript: Anyone who has read the prequel comics will notice large chunks of the story repeated in the game. In both, Max is nearly killed, but nursed back to health by a woman who then asks him to save her daughter named Glory from the Buzzard base, and gives Max a keepsake to give her so she will know to trust him. The reason for all of this is that the comics were done under George Miller's supervision, while the game had no involvement from him but used his notes.

The mother and child are then killed while Max is just barely too far away to prevent it.]] The reason for all of this is that the comics were done under George Miller's supervision, while the game had no involvement from him but used his notes.

* TroubledProduction: Creator/GeorgeMiller had been interested in making a Mad Max game under his personal supervision since the late nineties. Several attempts fell through for a number of reasons over the years. One of these involved buying Team Bondi, the Australian developer behind ''VideoGame/LANoire'' with the intention they would develop the game. The game that did eventually get made was done so without personal involvement by George Miller, but using the extensive notes he had written for potential Mad Max sequels since ''Beyond Thunderdome'' which Warner Bros. had access to.

** In terms of open world [[AfterTheEnd post apocalyptic]] role playing, ''Mad Max'' and ''{{VideoGame/Fallout 4}}'' have very similar settings.
*** This is intentional, as the original ''{{VideoGame/Fallout}}'' (the SpiritualSuccessor to ''{{VideoGame/Wasteland}}'') used Mad Max as an inspiration for setting, clothing and how factions interacted. The base leather jacket armor in the first ''{{VideoGame/Fallout}}'' is an exact duplicate of Max's MPC jacket, as are the other versions that followed. Many raider outfits and hairstyles from ''{{VideoGame/Fallout}}'' are directly lifted from ''Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior'', just to further the comparison.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Ars Technica turned in a lackluster review for the game in general, but [[http://i.imgur.com/P9nyoyf.png this image]] goes over some major aspects, and includes a noteworthy quote from the reviewer where he straight up says that "Objective qualities are totally uninteresting." Instead, the review goes on an idealogical rant about the lack of a female playable character.
