I encourage you to play Max Payne 3 immediately. Take a glimpse back at a short time when Rockstar made games that were focused on gameplay first. The game has its priorities straight. Gameplay, graphics, and story, in this particular order. This game gives you all the tools to be an action hero. Do so accordingly.
If you’re looking for something different that can also be enjoyed with friends, and you can’t decide between watching Netflix or playing video games, get a bit of both with “Dark Nights”. Enjoy it in small bursts. Sip, don’t binge.
Outside of the gameplay itself, the game feels like a sometimes-ugly, disorganized collection of menus that wants you to pay extra money to really enjoy the most engaging content without falling victim to an endless grind.
