Pretty awesome game, the story of Max Payne is very tragic, and the atmosphere of the sound design of the game really works here, the controls have also aged really well for a 2001 game which is awesome, and the slow motion mechanic is really awesome, the only issue with the game however is I got stuck during some missions, there was no hints at what you need to do at points, so you're kinda stuck there until you figure it out, or you look a video which sucked, despite that I really recommend this game, it's awesome, and now I want to play 2 and 3 really bad now.

Derivative without being void of its own ideas, tongue-in-cheek without taking away from its own sense of story and mythology, and easy to grasp mechanics-wise while allowing some creativity and sticky situations. An easy game overall, but one that will whoop you if you get too comfortable. It feels far more sincere as a fan letter to early RPG-era aesthetic, gameplay, and sensibility than other games like "Breath of Death VII" or "Cthulhu Saves the World," managing the careful balancing act without tipping over. The occasional cinematic or extended sequence adds a lovely splash, and some of its sidequests like Wheels are a fun time-killer. A solid soundtrack helps solidify the sense of atmosphere surprisingly well.

It would be a full 5 stars if not for the asinine "collectibles = getting the best ending" system, which bothers me to no end. Don't leave an area without exploring the entire landscape and getting all the Rainbow Conches. You'll thank me later.

So many fucking bugs and on top of that whoever came up with the idea of losing money when you die i HATE YOU. It would have been fine if i didn't die to countless of bugs, but anyway. Story is go from here to there with barely any character improvement the whole way through.

I like the combat (sometimes) but the zombie gore is pretty shit, humans don't have the same gore as the zombies (I think it was too controversial back when this game first released) And my favorite part was definitely the locations, which were very pretty. My favorite being the resort and the jungle.

First of all, a premise must be made: of Castlevania this game has the prefix and little else, otherwise it is really a novel reboot for the saga, which will bewilder all those who have played and enjoyed any of the previous chapters. That said, I don't consider it a Castlevania so I think of it as a good, extremely competent action adventure that manages to offer different facets of the genre and blend them together to make the title long-lived, varied and definitely replayable. The technical and artistic compartments also offer evocative and very beautiful passages to look at, an uncommon work that in some cases really leaves one speechless. The feeling, however, is that the game duration could have been reduced to better balance the fights and make them less repetitive, as well as to give more exciting narrative and gameplay moments, which are precisely the factors that do not allow Mercury Steam's first effort to become one of the best exponents of action adventures on the first try, while remaining a recommended purchase for fans of the genre.

I liked and enjoyed it, more than LiS2, less then LiS1

It does not feel like a Life is Strange game.
The story is really really straightforward and the game gives you one or two shock moments, and maybe a third one which might have been shocking if you choose to not watch the trailers or read the description of the game before buying and playing it.
It was really fun though, even though its writing was not that good, I enjoyed character interactions and liked the 12 hours I have played it.
