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.

Mortos
This is a mess. The window mode doesn’t work at all, I can’t exit the game once it started (there is now menu at all!), setting up game to play (either single or multi mode) is confusing, and the whole game feel really cheap. Just looking at the animations of enemies give you a hint there wasn’t much efford made into making this game. Don’t be fooled by screenshots or this video, and the price is so low because this game sucks.

Mortos is a headshot focused wave based shooter. The game isn’t iredeemable, all of the mechanics seem to work and I played a couple rounds without anything breaking horribly, but I didn’t find it to be fun. The guns don’t feel good and the game overall is just a very dry, unpolished experience. With how cheaply you can obtain Killing Floor, Painkiller, and the Serious Sam games - all of which play much better than this - there isn’t really a lot of reason to give this game your time, even if nothing is obviously broken.

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.

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

I find it’ll be easier and less messy if I just put this as a Pro’s and Con’s list rather than an essay type review. At least for the most part.
The Pro’s:
-The graphics are quite good (player models, environments, etc), even by today’s standards.
-Similarly, lighting and shadows are similarly fantastic.
-The voice acting is quite good as well. Notable actors such as Jen Taylor (Halo Series), Phil LaMarr (Halo, Metal Gear Solid Series) and John Patrick Lowrie (Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2) make an appearance in this game.

Kontrakt
TL:DR: If you want a dark twin-stick shooter with a unique 2.5D art style, atmosphere like Splatter, and The Hong Kong Massacre/Hotline Miami-esque challenge put up by each individual enemy being almost on par with you if not for the tricks up your sleeve such as visibility, as well as slow-mo and sliding through to gun down tight rooms and corridors, it’s hard to go wrong here.
It also works well if you’re just looking for any fast-paced twin-stick shooter like I was.
Pretty good twin-stick shooter. A lovely, detailed 2.5D art style and a great electronic soundtrack I’m yet to upload to YouTube (with the developer’s blessing, of course) set a dark atmosphere for some mindless, on-your-toes killing sprees interspersed with philosophical musings and societal jabs that can be uncomfortably (in a good, thinking way) prodding. You just might learn a thing or two about schizophrenic thinking along the way, or pick up on deeper things using such knowledge to read between the lines, or even see a secret coming. After a slight and needed AI nerf, the fast-paced gameplay does a good job of making your potential and consistency the main “RNG” factors deciding whether you’ll complete a level or not, much like other twin-sticks such as Hotline Miami, Redie, and The Hong Kong Massacre, in that at the end of a level you actually have to ask yourself “Wait, I did it this time?”. The later levels' layouts can get slightly frustrating, but it’s nothing you can’t literally bait and slide your way out of. The game will test you on mastery and consistent execution of its gameplay mechanics, and you will be shocked at how much faster you can run through the game a second time as a result of learning how to play; you wouldn’t suspect you’d be learning and thinking meanwhile, but you are.

I GIVE OUT FREE GAME KEYS AND MERCHANDISE TO DISQUS USERS COMMENTING ANYWHERE ON MY SITE, KEEP READING.
So I caught this game in my suggested log by total chance. Seeing the blistering play and cool header image made me want to check out a sample, and ShotX was cool enough to chat about his one-man hate game and give me a play. Kontrakt is NOT for bad mad provincials. That means, if you suck DO NOT PLAY THIS. It’s extremely challenging and will RUIN you in a few moments. The graphics have a cool late-1990s feel, the glitched soundtrack was made by the developer and also rules, but the play will keep you coming. It’s rather simple. You take out contracts on hits and kill all the bodyguards in each level before you get to your target and move on. Play is FAST and a single shot can kill you at times. He just added an arcade-type form of play called the “Devil’s Game” so let’s see if you can beat me on the leaderboard. If you want to read more of what I have to say and check out some screenshots I took, as well as a video of play from the developer himself, go to the link below and SUPPORT THIS GAME:

NORR part II: Will Walker
Start game, all text in russian. Had to check youtube how to change it. Game looks nice but the gameplay is bad. It’s a fast paced game but it stops every time to show a slomo kill shot or some stupid bad guy dialogue. And then you die because you get shot.
