It's felt like Baldur's Gate 3 would be a hit for quite some time, but we didn't quite expect it to have such a colossal impact. The highly anticipated RPG isn't out on PS5 until next month, but PC reviews, impressions, and reviews-in-progress are painting a frankly ridiculous picture. Indeed, on its current trajectory, Baldur's Gate 3 is going to be counted among the greatest RPGs ever made.
Get two of the best PC shooters ever for less than $5
01.08.2023 - 16:07 / pcgamesn.com / Sam Lake / Alan Wake / Best
It’s hard to articulate my love for Max Payne. One of the greatest games of all time, when I try to explain precisely what makes it so excellent I get so flustered and overexcited all my words just kind of merge into one big sound. Likewise, Max Payne 2, the action-adventure game sequel, remains one of the best games of 2003, especially those levels in the funhouse. With the Alan Wake 2 release date on its way and Remedy also working on the Max Payne remakes, if you haven’t sampled the hard-boiled, bullet-time shooters already – or just want to slow-mo dive back into Max Payne after almost 20 years – you can get both games now for under $5.
The murky New York City subway levels. The verbose, strained one liners. Sam Lake’s instantly iconic facial expressions. The original Max Payne is one of the games that I’ve completed the most times. From the opening, suburban bloodbath – which I still maintain is one of the hardest-hitting first levels in mainstream gaming – to the final sniper rifle round to crush the helicopter, the original Payne remains the high watermark for smart, quickfire, and unique action games.
Max Payne 2 meanwhile is an underappreciated follow-up. Treading through the abandoned, Address Unknown funhouse is Remedy at its funniest and most distinctive. Between Payne, Alan Wake, and Control, the developer has a fantastic ability to combine the dark and the serious with low-budget, broad comedy. The guns sound great – though the Ingrams in Max Payne 1 will always be the best – and there’s a fantastic story of how Max, despite everything, keeps finding new ways to spiral down and down.
We don’t have much news on the Max Payne remake project yet, which is set to totally rebuild the first two games, but it’s definitely coming. So, if you want to experience Remedy’s finest two hours for the first time, or refamiliarize yourself with some of the best games ever, you can get get the Max Payne Bundle, which contains both games, for $4.49 / £2.99 down 70% from $14.99 / £9.99. Just head over to Steam before Thursday, August 10.
Alternatively, if you’re hyped for Alan Wake 2, take a look at some of the other upcoming games set to arrive in 2023. Max Payne fans will also want to try some of the best story games on PC.

Jumplight Odyssey is a tantalizing colony sim if you can get past the bugs
Now here’s a game I didn’t know I needed. Space colony management sims aren’t exactly a rare breed, even after you cross them with survival elements. However, I never realized that the one thing they were missing was the SDF-1.

Alone in the Dark Gets Two New Trailer Drops
Alone in the Dark is a rather long-running video game franchise. It’s been around since 1992, when the first game launched for the PC platform. However, this year we’re getting a remake. While the developers are still pushing through the game, it’s slated to launch this October, and that might make it a well-worth investment if you’re after a spooky game this Halloween season. But while we are waiting for the game to release, a new set of trailers recently dropped today. Both of these are available for you to view down below.

You can now grab an official refurbished Steam Deck for less than a Switch OLED
Toying with the idea of buying a Steam Deck? Well, you can now pick one up for less than ever, as Valve is now selling refurbished models. While unboxing brand new tech is nice, the fact you can get a renewed handheld for less than a Nintendo Switch is super impressive. I’d go as far to say that I’d have bought one if I didn’t own the portable already, as the discount is too good to pass up.
