Still kicks all kinds of ass even after a dozen replays. Max Payne, along with its sequel, slot comfortably into my top 10 games of all time. It still holds up (save for some weird compatibility bugs that are easily patched), plays great and has writing and voice acting that is still unmatched compared to most games that have come out since.

Remedy has been on an absolute tear with Control and Alan Wake 2 so if they can take that magic and apply it to the upcoming Max Payne remakes then a stone cold classic could possibly be made even better.

Was itching for a VR answer to Metal Gear Solid and this seemed to be the best on the market right now (in terms of PCVR). While it definitely tries it’s best to emulate the MGS feeling (even the sliding door sound effect is the same as in MGS1) this sadly felt too barebones for me to want to continue past the first couple of missions.

The AI isn’t very smart and you can’t really do a lot beyond sneaking or shooting (although the voice-activated shakedown function is pretty neat) and after the first couple of hours I kinda got the point. A decent enough stealth experience if you can get it cheap enough.

With VR games starting to pick up steam again, I feel like Konami are missing a trick by not developing an actual MGS VR Missions VR game. Although given the events of MGS2 that may not be such a good idea…
