Great game. If you liked Norwood, you'll like this.

This is one of the rare times that my nostalgia didn't deceive me. It's just as fun as I remember. Bought it for $5 on sale but I wouldn't write off buying it at full price.

lots of annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that comes alongside a game from the era that it's from, but still a pretty fun time if you get over that

This is a review of the multiplayer. The campaign is one of the best in the franchise, and everything runs very smoothly once you find your resolution. In MW2 Multiplayer, I have 266 hours as of 7/19/19, but I have around 27 in this game because I've replayed the campaign multiple times.

You know what game this is. It's ridiculous fun where you'll be yelling bullsh!t with every other death (because it probably was bullsh!t.) I play this game WAY too much because it's a great way to kill time and just have fun. Alongside, the chat function really brings a whole new element of interaction in this game, with MOST people being very nice and open for any kind of conversation (some toxicity, racism, etc, but it's call of duty. It's to be expected.)

However, people still occasionally camp, people still tube, you'll come across the occasional subtle or not-so-subtle cheater, and there's a 30% chance you'll end up in a modded lobby, where you're at a risk of getting 10th prestige'd without your permission, or you'll have your loadouts blocked, or killstreaks/knifing will be disabled, etc. It all depends on the host. Speaking of hosts, it's a gamble whether you'll get a solid connection through the randomly-selected host (if the lobby is unmodded.) But most of the time you'll be okay.

I think the fact that I have so many hours in this game proves that it's a worthwhile purchase. It's definitely worth the $20, but if you don't see yourself playing it as much as I have, I recommend waiting for a sale.

I accidentally left it open for 20 hours LMAO still a great game tho

This is my first Max Payne game, and for an outsider looking in, with five hours in the game as of right now, it really just feels like a restrictive linear shooting gallery. Fun for a bit, but once you get tired of killing ethnic minorities in slow motion it gets boring quick. Buy on sale. 5/10

Buy on sale. Beautiful atmosphere, rich story with wonderful voice acting, and charming charisma between characters. However, this game is still only around four hours long and definitely has some problems with FPS, movement, and bugs sometimes. 6/10

I know this is set in Japan, but almost every piece of evidence you acquire is admissible in American court because of the 4th amendment lmao

good game

Rich story, overwhelmingly detailed world, convincing voice acting (especially from Geralt), and endless amounts of exploration. It's obvious the developers put everything into the world this game is in. Unfortunately, a lot of it is overshadowed by the clunky, distracting, and frustrating movement (frustrating running mechanics, and very clunky horse riding). There are thousands of games with less budget and technology available to them that have much better movement systems. Why CDPR didn't polish one of the most essential parts of the game, I'll never know.

Another criticism is how unbearably repetitive so many witcher contracts (optional side quests) are. The process for most of these is
1) Talk to contract holder
1a) Make a choice (maybe)
2) Use your witcher senses to look around the area
3) Talk to someone/contract holder
4) Fight animal/person/monster
5) Recieve your reward

Granted, not every contract is like this, but there are so many that seem so shoved in at the last minute. If you can get over the movement and slight repetitiveness, then this is a solid open-world fantasy game. 6.5/10

Way too short. Takes around an hour to beat it. I beat it twice and I'm still eligible for a refund. Not worth it at all.
