The game was well put together (if a little repetitive), but my point is that the more content gets made that is specifically trying to make a cohesive canon, the more Mad Max loses the folk tale flavor while gaining a "cinematic universe" feel. One game on it's own tying into Fury Road won't do it completely, but if the game was part of a successful franchising of the Mad Max Fury Road (because Fury Road represents the nexus of a reboot here) brand, then it would contribute.
It is nice to have things in media that just exist without being stretched out and milked dry.
