Every set piece leaves me feeling like a badass. This is the closest game you’ll get to a John Wick / Die Hard video game. And Max’s monologues are all great. I’m loving the Sau Paulo section.

Max Payne 3 is a gem indeed. The gritty narrative and intense action make it stand out. Rockstar really nailed it with this one.
max durexxx
As a big fan of the series, I hated part 3 with a passion. To me, it didn’t feel like a Max Payne game. Gameplay wss more cover base. Story lack imagination. In part 2 he takes the fall and then in part 3 he takes the fall again? They could have come up with something better.
If you enjoyed Max Payne 3 like we all did, you should try Stranglehold. John Woo hardcore Hong Kong action movie gameplay that most likely inspired Remedy to make Max Payne games.
3 is the worst in the trilogy. Best gameplay, everything else falls short of the first two. It doesn’t even feel like the max Payne brand, just look at the fucking image
As a Max Payne game, it’s the worst of the 3.
On its own merit, it’s not a bad game, just don’t like the bald take on Max Payne.
I can’t even play it it keeps crashing on launch in steam
Will it play on the steam deck?
What do you like abut it? Always been curious about it.
Underrated?
I remember it had a few walking sequences, but the action was top notch!! Bullet time is awesome!
It is in no way underrated.
Underrated, gem, dae etc should be banned from this sub.
Rockstar’s most underrated game is Table Tennis
Just played this one recently for the first time, very fun!
Best shooting mechanics Rockstar ever had
If this game is so awesome, why can’t I toss greandes like the first two? 😛
Seriously, I love this game, but that always bugged me.
RIP James McCaffrey 😢
Had tons of fun with it back when it released, fun game!
BUT
I am brazilian and this game has what is, in my opinion, the WORST brazilian portuguese dub ever! All the criminals spoke like a grammar teacher, with textbook pronunciation and a vocabulary that definitely is not even close to how criminals in São Paulo speak (regular people too, for that matter).
It’s magnificent
One the most memorable games ive played.
Not even close to being their most underrated title. Also this MP game gets some deserved hate. I won’t deny that it’s fun though, from what little i played of it.
I would love to play this again but it’s no longer on the store for some reason
Rockstar’s most underrated title? I don’t know about that lol
I don’t think it’s underrated sitting at 87 on Metacritic
I grew up with 1 + 2 and i remember that i was so dissapointed from 3.. there was no max payne left in this game. I pretty much hated it from start to whenever i uninstalled it after few hours.
I love the game but the constant bright lights flashing when transitioning to another scene made me ill enough to puke
Would play again / 10
Bully.
The story was… alright. It didn’t have as good a narrative as the previous games.
But the gunplay is way, way better. They definitely crushed that aspect.
I played though all 3 again like a year ago or so and found the shooting way more fun in 3. It’s super solid. I’d love to replay the originals with 3’s gameplay.
It was a fun game but not a good Max Payne game. Completely missed the mark of what I loved about the series
Not underrated. It just so happens to come from the same place as GTA and Red Dead. Those titles leave little room for others to shine.
Max Payne, as a whole, is incredibly awesome!
… max Payne 3 is highly rated.
I was a big fan. It felt like the perfect marriage of the old games with more modern gameplay, presentation, and story.
If you ever wanted to feel like you’re playing a Tony Scott movie, look no further.
Aren’t there already John wick and die hard video games?
While I agree it’s a fantastic game, I’ve tried to replay it a few times over the years, and every time I do I always find myself saying “oh my fucking god, just let me play the game”
It’s so broken up, and the shooting segments so short. I just want *more* game.
Easily Rockstar’s best ever gunplay. It just felt right.
I regret not beating this game
It is not underrated at all. Everyone knows Max Payne. It was relevant for a long time after 3 came out. The slight dip in relevancy is because they haven’t released a new title in a while.
I wish the multiplayer wasn’t shut off I never got to try it and it looked interesting for a tacked on multiplayer
