Comment on Day 477 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Haven’t played ‘Max Payne’ in twenty years, completely forgot what it looks like in-game, and still the first thought from the screenshot was “Max Payne”.

Both the games have really iconic art styles (and i’m sure the silhouette of Max gives it way too)

Dunno about the artstyle: a lot of 90s to early-2000s 3d shooters had that grimy look, perhaps to show off the textures. But the jacket and the casually lowered gun definitely factored into the recognition.

I might be a bit biased too with the art style. My first playthrough was only last year and it’s really stuck with me. But yeah, the jacket and gun are definitely factors
