Max Payne 3
2012 · Third-Person Shooter · PC / Steam
Max Payne 3 delivers what might be the finest third-person shooting mechanics ever built, with gunfights that produce Hollywood-caliber destruction and a level of character animation detail that remains impressive. Rockstar's decision to drown the experience in unskippable cutscenes, interrupting the flow every few minutes, undercuts the very thing the game does best. The shift from New York noir to Brazilian heat works better than skeptics expected, and the story has genuine weight even if the pacing struggles under the cinematic ambitions. It's a great shooter trapped inside a movie that won't let you skip to the action.
