Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter video game developed by Rockstar Studios and published by Rockstar Games. A new feature to the series, introduced in Max Payne 3, is the cover system, which allows players to gain a tactical advantage, and avoid taking damage from enemies. To progress through the linear story, players take on enemies throughout levels. The game features interactive cut-scenes which transition seamlessly into continuing game-play; there are no loading screens across game-play and cut-scenes. In combat, auto-aim and a cover system can be used as assistance against enemies. Should players take damage, painkillers can be used to regenerate health. Players use melee attacks, firearms and explosives to fight enemies. In action sequences, bullet time can be used; using this feature, it is possible to see every bullet strike an enemy in detail. The game also utilises a “Last Stand” mechanic, granting players a grace period when health is fully depleted, allowing them to kill the enemy that last wounded them, but depleting all their current bullet-time. After using the shoot-dodge mechanic, which enables players to dodge enemies by diving, players may shoot at any angle while remaining grounded.
