If it weren't for the cool gameplay, it would be 5/10. There are a lot of meaningless details, interactions with decorations and so on, I added this to the pluses. Living world, sort of. There are also traces of bullets, so realistic...
The plot is something... weird? Resident Evil. Underground laboratories, the Valkyrie virus... Illuminati conspiracy? A wife who accidentally saw secret data that made her husband kill half of city population? Sure, it is cool, perhaps even holistic, but it felts like... what they came up with, that was shoved into the plot in a row. The immortal Max Payne, who treats himself with packs of pills, killed everyone on the ship, killed everyone in every building in New York, killed everyone in the subway, killed everyone in the sewers and killed everyone in the laboratories... Some kind of crap, which was exciting only in 2001, but not now. Now you can think about this trash more wisely.
The whole game could have been played with a bat, really. And who is going to pass it on other difficulty levels, who needs it? Why couldn't it be possible to open them right away and leave only the time-limited mode closed? Some moments I actually speedrun, pinned the bandits in the corner and killed them through the doors with a bat.
Game for one evening, but it feels very big and mixed up. I thought it was a noir detective story, but it turned out to be Resident Evil with a dude, whose answer to everything is bullets and the same facial expression.
