The "David Lynch" of Game Studios | The Making of Max Payne (ft. Lukas Bray)

We're back!

After a snowy winter where everything fell apart for us, we're finally back with a brand new episode of LGA—and this time, we're slow-motion diving into one of the most beloved action games of all time: Max Payne!

We take a look at the early days of Remedy Entertainment, exploring their early influences and how they elevated the action genre with their own unique blend of "Twin Peaks"-inspired weirdness.

So go grab your painkillers, Hawaiian shirts, and leather trench coats. It's time to party like it's 1999.

RIP James McCaffrey (1958–2023)
