Max Payne 3 had the best third person shooting mechanics in games when it came out and it's still true 10 years later. It feels really great to play which can be annoying since it takes control away from you quite often. There's a lot of cutscenes and most of them are unskippable. The story it tells is decent enough if a little convoluted. Max's narration is pretty entertaining even though it can get overly indulgent. The game has a really cool stylistic presentation and there's a great flow between the cutscenes and gameplay even if you get annoyed by the sheer number of gameplay interrupts. Still, when you are diving and shooting in slow motion and admiring the great destruction physics, there's few games that play as good as it.
