Yes, the game is chock full of various references, most of the stuff is from the first Metal Max but there's also a plot thread that refers to MM2 and a lots of returning monsters from MM3 or even 4, not to mention that 90% of the music you'll hear is all remixed MM/MM2/MM3 music and there's also an alternate version of Maria, an iconic character from MM2(They even kept her old battle pose).
Problem is that's pretty much the only redeeming factor given how it's not free roam like the other games and is a completely linear game for god knows what reason.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a straight out bad game outside of the absolutely horrible dungeon design and characters, mechanically speaking it adds some real good stuff and it's generally pretty good even though for some things it's a bit simplified/casualized coming from the previous entries, but it's simply not a good Metal Max game at all outside of the tanks and all the references from the previous games, which only veterans will get in the first place.

On that note, to all the people who played Returns, you can finally pilot the Rommel Ghost and mass produce it as well.
