Maybe one of the most off brand sequels to not just a game, but any media ever.

The themes of addiction, violence and corruption are handled well unlike the actual plot of the game which can be an incoherent mess at times. Though its not as bad considering that you see this through the eyes of Max who is being kept alive by liquor and painkillers and is trying to unceremoniously die in a shoot-out.
Gameplay wise Max Payne 3 is untouched to this in the spectacle of just simply shooting a single enemy. Max feels weighty and like a sad sack of meat, which he is.
The soundtrack by HEALTH is also fantastic.

RIP James McCaffrey
