Contains mild spoilers for Max Payne 3
Not everyone has a “type” when it comes to games genres, but many people do. Games span a wide range of different skillsets and combine a variety of other interests, so it should come as no surprise that a lot of games aren’t for everyone.

You might even learn that a genre you thought was completely out of your reach is more promising than you ever expected.
