𝙈𝙖𝙭 𝙋𝙖𝙮𝙣𝙚 1 and 2 was my the game of my childhood(played for 2 year). I didn't have the ability to buy those games on that time. So I have emotion for Max Payne series. Recently to remind my partial childhood I recently completed Max Payne 3 story as I didn't complete last time. So let's talk about this game now.

❤️ Story ✏️
Name is Max Payne 3 , so our protagonist is Max an ex-cop, from the previous sequel. Story of Max Payne 3 is based on later life of Max. His wife is dead and Max has no family, he is all alone.He developed an addiction to alcohol. But he has a horrible past. So, he left New York.

Once upon a time after being alone he was leading a disgusting life without any job. But he gets an offer by an old friend, he doesn't know him properly and the job is like , he has to protect a rich family as their bodyguard in Brazil , country of corruption and drug dealers.He accepts his job offer. But the situation is not easy as it sounds, once in a business party of the family,some regular street gang appeared and tried to kidnap the main family member Rodrigo and his wife . It was like a regular attack for money, somehow max is managed to prevent kidnapping with his friend Passos, ex-detective, now another bodyguard of the rich family and also the job of Max was given by Passos. After a few days in another party the wife of Rodrigo, along with her sister Fabiana again attacked by the same gang and attempt to kidnap but this time, the gang successfully kidnapped Fabiana means Max only saved wife of Rodrigo and kidnapper asked for money as ransom. To save Fabiana, Max and Passos go with money but they found there was a third party with big military soldier who doesn't want money. So the kidnapping case turned into own life-saving mission as well as the deep dark story starts from here. It's like you can't sleep by thinking about what will be going on next mission because you don't know with whom Max has to fight and is fighting. Story is full twist, related to past, present and future of Max as well as unpredictable subject. Full of suspense till last mission like an action movie. Even sometimes better than a Movie. This game is mainly popular for it's deep story. Developer mainly focused to represent a deep story properly.
NB- Story isn't linked to Max Payne 1 and 2

❗❗ Gameplay ✏️

Gameplay is like Call of duty in third person mode with slow-motion bullet time without health regeneration and with cover. Health will be regenerated by Painkillers. Max is alone, so he has to fight alone. There are so many weapons but max can carry only 3 at a time and 4th one is two-handed. He will drop weapons within the completion of a mission. Weapon can't be customized or upgraded by manually,basically no customization. Even there is no option to upgrades pouch of Max because they tried to keep the gameplay similar to previous Max Payne games. But bullet come is awesome with more details. They added vault this time. There are some golden weapons parts in the collectibles section, rewards of this collectible is you will get a golden colored weapon which looks cool. The slow motion bullet cam when crossing or using different obstacles is also another interesting part of this game. They could keep some stealth actions as they have brought cover but they didn't. Overall gameplay is pretty enjoyable who loves third person shooting.

❗❗ Graphics and visuals ✏️

This game is developed by RAGE (Rockstar advanced game engine) which is also used to develop Red Dead Redemption 1 and RDR 2. Maybe it was the first successful project by RAGE. So one-word graphics is amazing. I have taken so many screen shots for some beautiful visuals. The detail and environment design is well-furnished.

❗❗ Soundtrack ✏️
Music, songs, bullet sounds everything in these sections was perfect. The emotional song of last mission really inspired me.

❗❗Miscellaneous ✏️
The optimization was pretty fine. There are so many graphics settings. Barely faced any bugs or glitches. As a game of Rockstar, there are so many adult contents. No AI detection meter as a game of 2012. Thousands of enemies. Enemies are crazy because they are highly trained military soldiers. Enjoyed some boss fights as creativeness is required.

❗❗ Multiplayer ✏️
Multiplayer is quite fun but dead. Got a match after 5 minutes of search but everyone is damn pro.

Cons -
❌ No cloud save.
❌ Achievement mainly multiplayer based.
❌ 1 Enemy detected means all enemies detected in a mission .
❌ No grenades or any explosives.

✅Story Rating -10/10
✅Overall Rating- 9/10
