Having recently done the whole series, I've been in the mood to read a similar kind of noir revenge story, preferably one with a lot of the similar introspection and psychological complexity as Max Payne, and maybe even a similar examination of grief, if possible. A lot of the usual recommendations for books like the game pull up stuff that's basically just any noir with a lot of violence and shootouts, and while those are definitely aspects I want, I'm really more interested in the revenge story, the themes of grief, the somber tone, and the complex characters. Copious violence and clever noir wordplay is always a big plus though.
