Wait so this game actually owns? Never tried it back in its own era because the marketing suggested something a lot more derivative and less confident than what this actually is. A flawed gem to be sure, and the combat did get long in the tooth about halfway through. But still… damn! There’s not much else out there I can think of doing what Remedy is doing with this sort of mindfuck lynchian horror.

And some of the sensory overwhelm they accomplish here with light and shadows tumbling over each other spasmodically is just supremely cool. Watched a bit of play through after finishing on YouTube and feels like the remaster actually took a step back in this regard vs. the original that I played?

With this and Control, Remedy has made a real fan out of me. Can’t wait to play the sequel.
