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.
