The map offers a lot of exploration and I’d say there’s a decent enough respawn points although I wish there were more fast travel spots because it was a pain going back to finish side quests.

The 2D bike works excellently and feels satisfying for both travel and combat.

59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Amazing one-of-a-kind metroidvania with souls-like difficulty, magnificent music/visuals and surprisingly adult female-centered themes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

My friend put me onto this game because eerily my username is identical to the name of the game. that alone peaked my curiosity but as soon as I saw the art style, anthropomorphic characters and post apocalyptic setting I bought it instantly. for almost the past decade the video game industry has left me pretty jaded, so of course a 'furry mad max' game instantly peaked my interest.
