I am replaying Max Payne 2 and it's a LOT of fun.

I did a continuous playthrough recently but I didn't enjoy it as much because I felt I was forced to savescum too much because of all the ambushes. But I am re-playing the game in New York Minute game-mode, which is basically like Doom pistol starts - you lose all your guns, but for me the important thing is you restart with 100% health, so you can blast your way through levels and not worry about low health biting you in the ass later, which is what happened to me repeatedly in my continuous playthrough. New York Minute is a speedrun gamemode but all that changes is you can see your time for each level, and replaying the game this way is super fun because playing without saves is funner in general. Also you can skip all the shitty empty sections and just grind the fun sections, pic related. Part 2, Chapters 2-6, are REALLY good. You can launch the game with the -developer parameter to unlock all game modes right away if you want
