    One of the best games ever!

    An amazing story that made you think and empathize with Max every second.

    Great noir atmosphere. Revolutionary slow motion gameplay. How beautiful it was. Absolutely everything is good in this game and I can't even remember any shortcomings.

    This is a masterpiece that has made a huge contribution to the gaming industry.

    Легендарный шутер от ремеди к которому сложно придраться. Играть лучше всего с игрового руля

    A great introduction to "bullet time" also when the Matrix was "new".
    Cool simple story and just lots of addictive shooting in slow-mo :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Разнообразие арсенала радует. Каждое оружие уникально и подходит для определенных условий перестрелок. Правда после, примерно, середины игры, большинством арсенала ты перестаешь пользоваться из-за его ненужности. Враги становятся жирнее, да и появляется более мощное снаряжение, поэтому нужда в стартовых дробовиках и пистолетах отпадает. Под конец игры я использовал только джекхаммер, ингрэм, кольт, снайперскую винтовку и всё взрывное.
    Искусственный интеллект удобоваримый, но не более. Какие-то враги будут обходить вас, чтобы набить свинцом в упор, в том время как другие будут отстреливать вас из укрытий. Но ничего более. Из укрытия враг сам не выйдет, бегущий на вас противник будет бежать напролом.
    Фишка с bullet time очень интересная и не даёт заскучать от стрельбы до самого финала. Она позволяет творчески и стильно подходить к убийству мобов, а также спасает в неожиданных ситуациях. Но всё равно игра держит баланс и не позволяет вам бездумно нестись по уровню, отстреливая всех в slow-mo прыжке. Даже на первом уровне сложности, Макс довольно тоненький и может легко умереть. Поэтому ты стараешься не лезть на рожон и использовать свой функционал грамотно.
    Сюжет интересный, но также ничего удивительного не предоставляет. Завязка истории очень трогательная и ты понимаешь, как тяжело Максу. Но далее, до последних глав ничего интересного почти не происходит. Ты приходишь к очередной шестёрке мафии, убиваешь его и идешь к другой шестерке. И, на мой взгляд, в игре очень много персонажей. Они появляются на два-три кадра, а затем исчезают либо их тут же убивают. Из-за этого не понятно кто здесь важен, а кто статист, будто статисты все, кроме Макса.
    Музыка прекрасна. Главная тема игры невероятно хороша, и врезается в ум и плейлист на всю жизнь.    … Expand

    Max Payne has fascinating noire atmosphere. The feeling of the game is timeless. Bullet time is still enjoyable on 2022. The only problem that I faced is the dream episodes which are technically problematic and boring.

    An impressive story! It's been 22 years since its release date, but it still plays fluently. It is a game that you will not get tired of for hours with its long gameplay. Needless to say, it is definitely one of the masterpieces.

    A great FPS. The most serious problem we have with the game is stability – we lost all of our save games at one point, and experienced random freezes fairly frequently.

    In the style of PC Gamer's David Manningesque vocabulary, Max Payne is the most forgettable action game in history. (I exaggerate, of course. It's only the most forgettable action game of the year.)

    Its predominant flaw is that it whets our appetite for something unimaginably amazing but only fulfills half of that unveiled promise.
