With each new game that Remedy Entertainment has put out, its stock has risen higher and higher, to the point that it’s now considered to be among the most highly talented studios in the games industry. And amongst all of its many accomplishments, one that continues to stand out even now, more than two decades after it first came out, is the original Max Payne.

Here, we talk about all of that and more.
