Being a fan of the series I had to load Max Payne 3 on my current gaming PC rig since the recent news of the prior titles Max Payne 1 + 2 are being remade and remastered. This one comes from my enormous backlog of video games that I still haven't even gotten to. I haven't actually played Max Payne 3 before but I did buy it way back when it came out in 2012 a decade ago. Now in 2022 with optimized settings, it looks sharper and better than it ever did on consoles ten years ago.
Max Payne 3 continues on from the previous games. It still has a dark and serious tone, and you can plainly see that Max is still struggling with mental health and anguish of loss. The film-noir graphic novel style cinematography is still present and plays like an interactive movie with the cool cutscenes between every action sequence.

Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its protagonist, Max Payne. A new feature to the series, introduced in Max Payne 3, is the cover system, which allows players to gain a tactical advantage, and avoid taking damage from enemies. To progress through the linear story, players take on enemies throughout levels. The game features interactive cutscenes which transition seamlessly into continuing gameplay; there are no loading screens across gameplay and cutscenes.
