The gameplay is unfortunately, quite bad, I'm sorry but Bethesda's shitty engine just does not mesh with survival horror well. A lot of people describe this section as difficult but I think it's just kinda tedious and repetitive. Pixel hunting for those radios especially sucked. Also get ready to fight the same enemies in extremely repetitive environments for 6 hours

What if we took Xenoblade's party, kept only two of them, and replaced the rest of the party with two Nopon that are just as annoying as Riki but don't have any of his good traits? Oh and the two Nopon are going to have the exact same movesets as the characters from the base game you actually like, just to rub it in more.
The combat and music are still great, but when a JRPG starts tempting me to skip cutscenes you know something is off.

The shooting is magnificent. Honestly most third person shooters from this era are mediocre in terms of gameplay but Max Payne 3 plays as well as anything in the genre even today. The level and encounter design doesn't really live up to how good the shooting feels but it's definitely better than say, Uncharted or something. Hard to believe that Rockstar would go on to make some of the clunkiest games on the market with RDR2 and GTA V. The story was kinda nonsense but the characters and dialogue still made it entertaining, Max Payne is always saying the funniest shit and I love how it's played completely straight.

Fun initial gameplay loop but progression pacing is way off, everything before the elite 4 feels like it happens too fast and the lull between the elite 4 and the next region is nightmarishly slow. Also the "active" elements like the safari zone and dungeon crawling kinda suck.
A ton of potential but I think it'll need some significant updates and retooling before I go back to it.
