Game Information

For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal.

No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.

Combining cutting edge shooting mechanics with a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience from Rockstar Games.

This complete edition of Max Payne 3 includes the complete original game and all previously released downloadable content including Deathmatch Made In Heaven, Painful Memories Pack, Hostage Negotiation Pack, Local Justice Pack, Silent Killer Loadout Pack, Cemetery Map, Special Edition Pack, Deadly Force Burst, Pill Bottle Item, and the Classic Max Payne 1 Character.

D3D_METALVERY GOOD

Graphics:: ULTRA
FPS:: 60
Machine:: MacBook Pro
Chip:: M1 PRO
Cores:: 10 CPU, 16 GPU
RAM:: 16 GB

Review Note:

Plays almost flawlessly with a few stutters at a few areas and a frame drop when in large areas. The other person that said unplayable didn’t let the game load. It takes about 10 minutes for all the shaders to load then it plays great. The shaders are permanent, you don’t have to load them every time
