Max Payne 3 vs Paradise Killer
Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3 is the latest sequel to the Max Payne franchise. The story in this game continue to follow Max's struggles with the tragedies and losses he experienced but this time around, he is no longer a cop but a bodyguard who is in charged of protecting the family of a billionaire real estate mogul. However, things went terribly wrong and Max finds himself in a foreign city hunting down the kidnappers and also the truth to his past. With the storyline in mind, the developers have added plenty of nice cinematic scenes to further increase the immersion of its compelling narrative.Not to mention, the game also greatly improved its slow-motion-based gameplay with the addition of the Rockstar Games' proprietary Advanced Bullet Time® and Shootdodge™ and Final Kill-cam mechanics that guarantees some epicly stylish shooting action. Every bit of the gameplay is brilliant rendered to incredible detail as well, giving the slow-motion aspect of its gameplay the kind of high quality that many have praised the game for.
Max Payne 3 is an astoundingly well-made sequel when it comes to gameplay, but many fans have noted that this game oddly lacks the noir feel that had made the franchise unique in the first place. Perhaps it is just part of the franchise's evolution to being a mainstream game, or maybe the developers just want to try something new. Regardless, if you're a fan of the Max Payne story, you might have a bit of a mixed feeling about this game. But if you're just in for the slow-motion-infused shooting action, then you won't be disappointed!
Paradise Killer
Paradise Killer is an open-world murder-mystery game featuring visual novel-style storytelling, fun puzzles to enjoy, clues to track down, colorful characters to interrogate, and a gruesome mass murder of the council members of the Syndicate to solve. In this game, you play as the sole Investigator on Paradise Island, Lady Love Dies, and your own freedom hangs on the line as you hunt down every detail about the case.Paradise Killer is a blend of adventure and visual novel, featuring a storyline that’s just filled to the brim with mystery. As mentioned, the game starts off with a bang – the mass murder of Council Members as the Syndicate made ready to migrate from the current Paradise Island of #24 to what is dubbed as the Perfect 25.
Since the game is basically set in an entire dimension, Paradise Killer is very generous with every possible detail you might be curious about the game world as well as the many wacky and quirky characters that live in it. You can find out a lot of stuff – you are playing as a dutiful investigator, Lady Love Dies, after all! – by tracking down clues, finding hidden notes, and sometimes, simply by making friends and talking to them when their guard is down.
Being an adventure game that’s just filled with hidden stuff to find, the game also hides a whole lot of useful items in the most unsuspecting places, such as in cabinets that you can open or on apartment floors that aren’t as easily accessible. However, being as close to a god as you can be in Paradise Island, you can survive some impressive falls in this game so go hog wild and try to leap off buildings just to access some location with some hidden loot.
Without a doubt, Paradise Killer is in a class of its own! Yes, it is essentially an adventure game with visual novel elements and a strong investigative theme much like Ace Attorney (though you aren’t playing as a lawyer in this game), but it manages to bring all of these elements together and couple it with some truly impressive world-building to create a world that looks and feels mind-blowing to the player.
