My Friend Pedro
A BANANA that talks you into killing people the “John Wick” style
Story
🔸A full-fledged story is obviously not a focus in shoot ‘em up games. However, there is a simple one here. An unnamed silent man wakes up inside a butcher shop, instructed by a floating banana that appears out of thin air to kill the owner since he’s an arms dealer. The next second your character is a man with a bounty on his head and now he can’t stop ‘til he gets to the bottom of it. I can’t get further into the story since the plot is tied to the ending in a way that any attempt to explain more might spoil that little piece of the story it tells.

Max Payne 3
“Anyone can make what I have built
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills
It takes my pain away” 🎶
~Jimmy Eat World, Pain
“OMG, that’s not Max Payne! #NotMyMax” Remember such topics from back in 2012? It was pretty fun. Surprisingly, though, quite a lot of people (yours truly included) kinda… didn’t even feel like playing this game back then. And not because they were triggered or something like that, but because… you know. I mean, look at the screenshots. Another random bald guy shooting some generic gangsters. In Brazil. There’s literally nothing that screams “Play me right now!!!” in that. Especially since we already had one popular series that went down the drain since the moment the main character shaved his head (hello, Sam…). Even though I bought Max Payne 3 ages ago, I was like “meh…”. A lot of people I know felt the same. And that’s the funniest (saddest?) thing about this game. See, Max Payne 3? It was supposed to be a shiny big present to the old-school fans.

One of the best 3rd person shooters you’ll ever play. The story is amazing, I keep coming back to it time and time again and it never gets old. The multiplayer can be fun, if you can find anyone to play with. The action is amazing and gore is just the same. Recommend that you play on harder difficulties for a fun challenge, the only problem I have is that its a bit too hard and in the later levels you’ll be wielding 2 pistols while your enemies will have grenade launchers, machine guns and much more. Overall a great game.

Pixel Galaxy
This game is ridiculously fun and bursting with creativity. I’ve never even played a bullet hell game before this one and I love it! The local co-op is also really fun to play and it lets you laugh at your ridiculous deaths with your friends! It’s got a bit of a difficulty spike but there are many modes to play and I still think it’s fun even when I do suck at it. It’s a great game whether you’re playing casually or seriously. The soundtrack is amazing, the graphics are sleek and colorful, and the gameplay is interesting, simple to learn, and challenging without being too frustrating. The ton of achievements also add a lot of humor and replay value to this game.

TLDR: One-screen endless wave survival bullet hell in which you collect pixels and evade others. Hard to tell which is which aas they are not consistently color coded. Game balance is iffy.
The problem with Pixel Galaxy is that it only does one thing and it does not do that one thing all that well. Collecting power ups makes your ship larger and thus easier to hit since your hitbox grows so large and the pixel patterns can be too tight together to avoid.

Max Payne
I was never a big fan of shooter games… that is until Max Payne. A long time ago, I used to suck at this - so I chickened out of such games. This game changed that, probably because I got into the story and kept trying harder to get to the end. Still, the only two games of this nature that have interested me are Rainbow Six and Max Payne.
The “R” rating for this game needs to be taken extremely seriously. Although they show Max Payne (player) being holed up in an impossible situation (thus what he does can probably be viewed as ethical), he is required to get out of a violent battle between mafia groups and politicians. There are also a lot of drug and sex references in the game. Obviously, not a game for kids in my opinion. On the other hand, kids these days are not all that innocent - thanks internet, social media, and smartphones huh? So, I will say that a kid should be at least 15 or 16 years old to play this.

78/100
While I have greatly enjoyed beating this game multiple times throughout the years it is getting hard to recommend it now.
The main issue I have is I used three fixes to get the game to work and there was still no sound and got stuck on walls.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Taking a step forward deep into the chaotic endless black desert of insanity.
Max Payne 2 eventhough it stands on common ground it really has many differences from its predecessor.
Something that made the hard core fans of the first game not like it too much at first.
However for me Max Payne 2 really stands out of the library and into my golden list of masterpieces and on the throne with the rest of my most fav titles ever.
The game has obvious graphical advancements engine-wise, physics-wise, texture-wise and gameplay-wise.

–—DISCLAIMER FOR WIN8/WIN8.1/WIN10 USERS——
I had several Problems with this game on Windows 10, but after some research, it runs fine on Windows 10.
1. Run in Compatibility mode (Windows XP)
2. Rename the install Folder to smth without spaces like: “MaxPayne2”
3. Then in your steamapps folder find appmanifest_12150 and edit the install dir line to match your renamed folder (you might have to close Steam to do this or restart Steam)
4. Disable Steam Overlay for this game
5. Make sure everything stays the same after Steam restart - sometimes Steam changes stuff back

Loud or Quiet
Loud || Quiet tries to combine Hotline Miami and Payday, but because a lot of the mechanics from Payday don’t work so well in a single player experience, it ends up playing like Metal Gear Miami, except you don’t have Snake’s gear (not even a cardboard box) or Jacket’s brutal melee, which makes going loud or quiet a huge pain in the ass. While being able to buy weapons is nice, I would much rather have to pick them up from the enemy instead of having to search for an ammo box.
A noble attempt but as is kinda frustrating.

Good value for money, like hotline Miami but abit more forgiving. It’s a simplistic top down shooter an extremely varied soundtrack then look no further. Was a bit confused with the controls and what to do to begin with but once I got the hang of it was alright. But you need to make it clearer that the computer in the apartment is used to start missions.

Daydreamer: Awakened Edition
Extremely mind-blowing creative graphics in this game, and great maze-like challenges on multiple levels. An interesting “Spirit Guide” following you everywhere gives this game an edge unrivaled by most games of this type. Very cool!
– Real player with 1.9 hrs in game
I really wanted to love this as I am a huge fan of games like Abe’s Oddysee and other quirky platformers. As it is though, it’s more of a $5 game. Still needs some work.
Pros
-Awesome graphics
-Very interesting style
-Controls are responsive
Cons
-Confusing controls
-Uninteresting story
-Bad checkpoint system
-Annoying camera
-Strange main character

F.E.A.R.
“Cruelty is the law pervading all nature and society; and we can’t get out of it if we would.” ― Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure
Wow, has it really been 15 years since this classic hit our gaming libraries? I must confess, some games do not age well, but F.E.A.R. is not one of them. After all this time, it still is one of the best horror fps titles around, by even establishing some ground rules for the genre and introducing the best A.I. ever in horror fps. Let’s take a close look at Monolith’s timeless masterpiece, then.

This game is a fu*king masterpiece! After so many years, the only thing that has aged badly is graphics. Compared to modern standards it is ugly…
but the game is so much fun that I dont mind it!
The physics is great fun, the AI is still very good, they flank you they hide and shoot from cover.
The guns are awesome and you can feel ‘the joy’ when you kill your enemies with them I personaly love dual pistols, shotgun and… NAIL RIFLE, a rifle that shoots big metal bolts, kind of like wooden stakes for vampires but a bit smaller and metal, and every enemy you kill with it is literaly… nailed to a wall or any other surface behind him and stays that way, which is great as the engine keeps the bodies on map for a very

Mr. Shifty
Mr. Shifty:
The mega plutonium has been stolen and well-guarded in the impenetrable Olympus Tower by its owner Chairman Stone and his goons. We need the best person to break into this facility and recover the plutonium and we need it fast! The only name that I have in mind is Mr. Shifty and his brilliant operator, Nyx. Give me the phone - I need to make a swift call to Mr. Shifty!

I did not have a history with Top-Down Shooters (also known as Twin Stick Shooters) until Hotline Miami. Since then I have started to enjoy them more, especially with Nuclear Throne. I usually saw them as cheap little games that had very little to offer, but those aforementioned games and a few others (Enter The Gungeon) have put them back on the map. However, those heavy-hitters are already so good that one might find it difficult to break some new ground. And yet, Mr. Shifty comes and seduces with a mechanic that just feels perfectly at home with this viewpoint: a “blink” or “teleport” ability, that you might know from Dishonored’s Corvo, X-Men’s Nightcrawler or a few MOBAs that borrow it from WarCraft III’s Warden hero.
