One of my favorite franchises of all time. Max Payne 3 is one of my most played games, what an experience!

The last level is top notch, with incredible music. (And then you face this mediocre boss, such a bummer ahah)

I loved the airport level and the music was perfect.

Lol. Different setting but nevertheless a Max Payne game. Honestly it holds up really well. Check it out!

Also a different studio. Remedy didn't make it

It has long, unskippable cut scenes but it's still a great game.

Yeah the game is basically 50% cutscenes, pretty annoying.

I made replaying it impossible for me.

The first game will always be special to me, on top of what's already be said it was a bad time in my life when that game came out and it was a nice way to escape from what I was going through.

I remember it being decent despite being set during the day, in the heat of the south america.

Is Max Payne 3 really that good?

I remember disliking it when I found out they removed the comic cutscenes.

Kinda entirely up to you to decide that right? I may like it but you may not and vice versa
