Max Payne was one of those characters I always had a strong familiarity with but I’ve never actually gotten around to playing the series which is a bummer. I really missed out as a kid (my loss is my mom’s luck though because I know she would’ve needed to help me with those blood mazes).

Aside from the peculiar controller movement that takes some getting used to, the game still holds up incredibly well, and I had a blast with it even 23 years later. A true classic.
