The shooting is magnificent. Honestly most third person shooters from this era are mediocre in terms of gameplay but Max Payne 3 plays as well as anything in the genre even today. Hard to believe that Rockstar would go on to make some of the clunkiest games on the market with RDR2 and GTA V. The story was kinda nonsense but the characters and dialogue still made it entertaining, Max Payne is always saying the funniest shit and I love how it's played completely straight.
