max payne one is really good but it is flawed. the writing of max payne is truly unlike anything I've ever heard. one of the problems I've had with the original max payne was its unfair difficulty by the end. though I haven't completed max payne 2 yet, I can say that the difficulty feels a lot more fair than the last game. sure you might wanna try and remember to save every time you get a health kit but the bullet time feels a lot more useful now that you can weave between shots as well as it regenerating over time. I can't say if the writing is better than the original max payne, but it is certainly on par. I will say that the panels are more are way more striking than first game seeing as they actually had professional photos taken instead of the developers family members pose for photos. over all I feel that max payne is a waaaaayyy better improvement than the first game, and over all does meets or excedes my expectations from the first game so far.

May Payne 1 but with dating sim elements. Must shoot everyone in the face to impress foxy lady.

Not that much of playtime on the story but definitely still playable even in 2024, but you have to do some fixes for Windows 10 and 11 to play it.. Overall a great game!
