A classic of action games, as well as story driven shooters. It layed the foundation for the trajectory remedy would go for, and helped establish Sam Lake's presence as a writer in the game industry.
Max payne despite being a relatively serious game, its ultimately a very funny parody of noirs as a whole, while simultaneously being a great noir story itself. This game is genuinely funny, from the russians license plate being "Vodka, "Forget about it" being said 3 fucking times in a row in a cutscene, and the physical images of the character in cutscenes very clearly just being the team who made the game and thier friends and family.
Max Payne is a badass and hilarious piece of history that rightfully solidified remedy as absolutely steller piece of this industry, and its still pretty fun.
