I really didn't think I'd like this game because of how old it is, but damn was it a fun experience. The gameplay is solid, the story is interesting, and the vibes were great.

The only two things I wish were better are the audio and the plot.Playing this on the Xbox One, the audio for dialogue was always really hard to see. Like the music and audio for gameplay was fine, but the moment a cutscene started or two characters were talking ingame, I had to raise the audio on my TV just to hear what they were saying.

As far as the plot, characters would appear and I'd have no idea who they were or where they stood with Max. I think taking time to flesh out the plot just a lil so the characters were clear would have pushed this to a full four out of five for me.

I also, I just remembered, the prologue levels where you explore Max's trauma between major parts of the story are aesthetically interesting but frustrating from a gameplay perspective.
