  If the combat and overall gameplay needed an upgrade, they’re in a good spot, but the lacking story is still the most significant issue. Perhaps the developers have learned something from this exercise and Metal Max: Wild West will be the post-apocalyptic RPG of this generation. But for now, Metal Max Xeno Reborn demonstrates that simply slapping the word “Reborn” on a troubled game doesn’t automatically transform it into a masterpiece.

  METAL MAX Xeno Reborn thrusts players into a futuristic wasteland once known as Japan. In order to save humanity, one must battle through mutant monster and stop whatever is churning out killer robots.

  Metal Max Xeno Reborn is unsatisfying. It tries to reinvent itself from its original release but ends up retreading the same systems, only now with shinier paint. My hopes were high when I came into it but with each minute spent playing, it all plummeted. It got to the point that I’d dread having to continue. The only reason I did so as much as I have is that I was providing coverage.

  While it might seem like our gripes outnumber the improvements in Xeno Reborn, this is still a weird, unique, and overall enjoyable entry point into the Metal Max world. Squad-based, single-player tank-centric games (set in a post apocalyptic world) are few and far between, to put it mildly, so this is still worth your time.

  7.0

  While it lacks some polish here and there, and its main story leaves a lot to be desired, the pure absurdity behind Metal Max Xeno Reborn helps make it greater than the sum of its parts. The vehicular combat is fun, and the optional boss fights are an all-round great time.

  9.0

  It’s unique. As much as JRPGs always seem to try to one-up each other on spectacle, there’s nothing like a trio of tanks unloading their combined ordinance on a towering monstrosity of flesh and metal. And Metal Max Xeno Reborn seems to know it. It gets out of your way and lets you go.
