Max Payne
A classic of action games, as well as story driven shooters. It layed the foundation for the trajectory remedy would go for, and helped establish Sam Lake's presence as a writer in the game industry.
Max payne despite being a relatively serious game, its ultimately a very funny parody of noirs as a whole, while simultaneously being a great noir story itself. This game is genuinely funny, from the russians license plate being "Vodka, "Forget about it" being said 3 fucking times in a row in a cutscene, and the physical images of the character in cutscenes very clearly just being the team who made the game and thier friends and family.
Max Payne is a badass and hilarious piece of history that rightfully solidified remedy as absolutely steller piece of this industry, and its still pretty fun.

The Evil Within 2
This review contains spoilers
The evil within 2 is a interesting sequal, the progression of this and its prequal remind me almost of the shift from the classic RE games into 4, just on a micro scale. This is not bad, but evil within 2 definitely goes the route of refining its gameplay experience to a polish, it also goes for a much less grimy style than its predecessor, witch I must say evil within 1's style was one of its strongest aspects to me.
The very beggining put me off a bit, Sebastions new voice was very wierd at first but I got used to it, kidmans on the other hand did not bother me nearly as much.
The introduction to the new stem World starts pretty strong, its still very much going for the feverish feel the first game had, and we are intoduced to our first antagonist, who we later learn is named stefano (I will be talking about him later). This opening area before getting into the main town of Union is wonderful, then you get to union.
I did not know how to fully feel about the semi open world areas at first, but the gameplay loop began to really grow on me.
I had to really think of this game in a seperate mindset than I did with the first game, 1 reminds me more of a mix between resident evil and the psychological fuckery of silent hill, while 2 is a much more hollywood feeling survival horror experience ide get out of modern RE, both good but very different.
Evil within 2 really clicked with me when stefano really becomes part of the plot, its a shame he dies hallfway through the game, a psychopathic artist who uses death for his "art" is a character type that is still very engaging, unfortunately you kill him before he really gets the chance to shine.
Now to backtrack, I really enjoyed enjoyed delving back into sebastions past, dealing with the trauma of losing his family (and finding out they are still alive), and dealing with the trauma associated Beacon from the first game.
As to not get too wordy, I find evil within 2 to be a very differnt game, but a great sequal that stands toe to toe with the fever dream that was the first game.
Also Im mad that letterboxing was a bonus for beating the game :(

Alan Wake
An interesting title that spawned a sequal that became what I would say is remedy's best game. Alan wake 1 is a fun game with horror elements, that is very interesting as the game remedy made coming off of max payne 1 and 2. Alan wake starts some really interesting concepts and ideas that ended up being made even better by its sequal. Alan wake is a game that wears its influences on its sleeve and is in a lot of ways a game where remedy was trying to find thier footing after leaving max payne, while not perfect its memorable.
