tirando algumas coisas de jogabilidade q envelheceram mal, é um jogo excelente.

Stupendously cinematic for the age, a bounciful accolade of heroic bloodshed and a lovechild of different styles- Moody tragedy as the ammunition to John Woo breakneck spectacle and larger-than-life Lynchian existentialism. If not for the aged yet marvelously balanced gunfighting, the screenwriting was COOKED. It's still such a hypnotic oddysey thanks to McCaffrey (rest his soul) and Sam Lake's masterminding surfing on atmospherical coolness. Remedy peaked here.

Man, I struggled giving this a 2.5 but I have my reasons. Max Payne was a game I grew up on, admittedly at an age that was very young, I had to of been 4 or 5 years old, as I remember playing it alongside my step-father with Metal Gear Solid 2. I LOVED the blood trail parts as a kid as they were scary, as an adult, THEY CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF. Platforming ruined a lot of this game for me, especially towards the end. Max doesn't control especially well when it comes to platforming, although the gunplay is truly awesome. The story is noir as fuck and is totally rad, but the overall package doesn't hold up necessarily well as you would think it would. Now, with the platforming accounted for, I'd normally give this a 3 or 3.5. HOWEVER, I played the PS4 port on my PS5, and the PS4 port is fucking god awful, horrible horrible frame rate/performance, AND ITS A FUCKING 2001 GAME. I would recommend this game to anyone for a run through, but don't buy it on PS4.


Un claro ejemplo de que no necesitas tener un altísimo presupuesto para entregar una obra iconica en la cultura popular... Aunque si está bien gracioso que sam lake estampara su cara en el protagonista.

La verdadera arma secreta de Max es poder usar el F5

Gameplay has not necessarily aged the bests, at least on controller. I feel like this game would be a lot smoother with mouse and keyboard, of course its what it was designed for. That being said, the game is still fun.

Gunplay, while not as precise on controller, is really fun. The dive mechanic is fun. My one real gameplay criticism is that managing health is a pain (ha). You have to find painkillers to heal, and if you don't your just outta luck. One of those old "you respawn with the health you had when you saved" type deals where it's easy to get kinda stuck in a shit situation. That being said, it wasn't enough to make me hate playing.

The story is kinda generic but in a the same way something like Dragon Quest is generic. Max Payne inspired most of the detective/crime thriller stories we see to this day in gaming. It is not its fault that its so influential that its now generic! What ISN'T generic at all though is the way that story is told. The comic book style is so fun and engaging, and its really fun to just go through and reread the story. The dialogue is also written perfectly.

Overall this is a great game, and if the remake can fix the gameplay quirks, this could be a 5/5.

Everything that makes Remedy great now can be traced back here. Live action visuals, in-universe tv-shows, an overwhelming ambience and Sam Lakes' poetic waxings made this game the cult classic it continues to be.

historia muito boa, gameplay datada…acho que no pc com mouse deve ser muito melhor, mas no controle jogando o port do xbox é foda.
pra ser sincero me decepcionei um pouco, esperava mais, porem ao mesmo tempo entendo as limitaçoes da epoca e a importancia do jogo trazendo essa mecanica slow motion que tbm esta presente em outros jogos (e é MUITO legal).
