Rockstar's very conscious decision to focus on telling a gripping story does come with sacrifices for player agency, putting Max on a straight-and-narrow path through the game and not afraid to nudge or outright take the reigns away in favor of actions that best advance the story and get to the next shoot-out. We wouldn't exactly call the story "Oscar-worthy," but the writing and performances are engrossing, walking the tightrope between cynicism and hope that helps elevate the tale to among the most memorable the medium has yet seen.
Despite the sunny new environment, Max Payne 3 is an incredibly dark and violent tale of corruption, death and despair that blends the worst of humanity with the best of intentions. Starting with the kidnapping of his new boss' wife, Max finds himself caught up in the middle of an increasingly sinister plot. Left with no other choice, Max takes up an offer from a man named Passos, an ex-cop he can't remember meeting in the police academy, to do private security for a wealthy industrialist family in São Paulo, Brazil.Ī spot of sunshine in his grimdark life might've done poor Max well, but his luck ran out long ago.
