Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, hunted by cops and the mob, Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for pain…

Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This is a GOTY 2001 right up there with GTA 3, Halo and Serious Sam. And it rocks even today. Need I say more? Oh right, a remake by the original devs is coming. The game has 2 downsides: -Compatibility issues with Ryzen CPUs and modern OS (fixable with mods, see community guides, you also get widescreen support, even ultra-wide) -If you're playing without dying, dynamic difficulty eventually that turns you into a glass canon, except you're shooting nerf darts - but you can just let Max die on purpose a few times, and the difficulty will dial back. I'm pretty sure there's a mod for "flat" difficulty too. Aside from those obvious issues, you also may encounter puzzles and "labyrinths" that can be difficult to navigate. If you get frustrated, look up a guide. I remember my father reading a text guide online about that restaurant fire sequence - when the game was fresh, and I was about to go into 1st grade. Good times. With youtube guides it's even easier. Even without improvements from the sequel, the combat flows well enough, but it's more heavy on proper usage of cover compared to MP2. By the way, those slow-mo kill-cams with dynamic FOV are chef's kiss.

4 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
4 on sale11 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 11 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 7: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 4 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

This game is a payne in my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass to troubleshoot but I love it dearly <3
A really fun third person shooter with a great Neo-Detective themed story. Max Payne is an interesting character with an actually tragic backstory. The story is simple but entertaining and I honestly like it more than the second games story. If I had to complain about anything it's some missions feeling a little dragged out and it feeling like a less refined version of the second game but that's for obvious reasons. No real complains. 8.5/10 game for me
Max Payne is a game about a man whose face is permanently stuck in the expression of someone who just bit into a lemon while reading his own tax return. He lost his family, and the game will remind you of this roughly every four seconds through graphic novel panels narrated in the most overcooked noir prose ever committed to a hard drive. "The sun went down with practiced bravado." Sure it did, Max. Take a nap. The gameplay loop is elegant in its simplicity: enter room, press shift, fly sideways through the air in slow motion like a depressed swan, empty two Berettas into some mobster named Vinnie, land on your face, repeat for ten hours. And honestly? It rules. Bullet time was so good in 2001 that every other game spent the next decade stealing it and doing it worse. The nightmare levels deserve special mention as some of the worst platforming ever designed. Walking along a thin blood trail in a black void while a baby cries is not "atmospheric," it is a war crime against thumbs. Verdict: 10/10. A miserable man dives through the entire criminal underworld of New York in his pajama coat and it is still cooler than anything released this year. The painkillers are the true main character.
Es un juego muy bueno en el apartado de camara lenta y en todo lo demas. Lo recomiendo
I was in a computer game, funny as hell it was the most horrible thing l could think of
I don't know about angels, but it's fear that gives men wings.
Great game, one of the worst ports imaginable. It should be fully illegal to sell a game this broken and unplayable. Everyone seems to get their own unpassable bugs, no game should force you to do 2 hours of fixes
A classic to say the least. The entire trilogy is peak.
very janky but very fun and story pretty good
