in which max payne is really horny
i love how domestic and urban the arenas are in max payne 2. you fight in numerous apartment buildings, and one mansion. a hospital. a police station. a warehouse. a funhouse. a club under renovation. and a construction site. some of them are abandoned but not all. there aren't any real civilians but you always feel right in the heart of a beating city. there's no apocalypse. no supernatural element. each arena does feel like a centrepiece stage for a movie scene but simultaneously it feels like real life. its hard boiled noir aesthetic is laid thick and yet the game feels grounded to real life n ways i can't think too many shooters since have.
i also think most of the environments look rad, super nice art direction, and because they're mostly empty, they're very cacophonous. my kind of shooter.
