It absolutely blows my mind this game was released in 2001. Remedy have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft - to have writing, art direction, cinematics and voice acting of this quality in a game that's 23 years old is just wild. The gameplay was a bit clunky but it never got to the point where I feel like it was unplayable or unfair in any way.

This is an excellent neo-noir shooter and I can't believe it's taken me this long to play it. Can't wait to start Max Payne 2.

@Schmliff0 I've been playing their games out of order, so "once again" means that they've once again impressed me with the quality of their games.
