Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne continues the storyline where the first game left off. Reprise your role as Max Payne himself as he tries to make peace with the tragic loss he had experienced... and failed. He still has many questions that haunt him and a femme fatale murder suspect that he met during a routine murder investigation might be the only person who can unlock the answers. Of course, the underworld is keen on keeping Max in the dark and will do whatever it needs to silent him and his new companion, perhaps once and for all.Featuring the epic and intense storytelling that had amassed a somewhat cult-like following for the game franchise, Max Payne 2 promised a story coupled with its hallmark slow-motion gameplay that will dig deep into your emotional reserves as you watch Max himself descend deeper into his own personal hell. This game is definitely a must-have for fans of the game series.
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.
