If you told me a couple months ago, having never played Alan Wake or any Remedy games, that Alan Wake 2 would be one of my favorite games of all time, I'd say, "I'll be damned if that's true.". Well, I'll be damned, because this game is now in my top 5 of all time conversation.

IT'S NOT A LAKE. IT'S AN OCEAN.
IT'S NOT A LOOP. IT'S A SPIRAL.

An all-star cast for an 'eh' execution of an idea.

I will never forget the first time I saw a crewmate get mowed down by a turret gun right in front of my eyes, only for a flower monster to be right behind me when I turned around to run. This game turns boys into men. Giggling, sissy, screaming men.

This is 12 year old me's rating of this game. I'm not sure it would be the same today.

People seriously hate on this game way too much. IT IS GOOD!!

Imagine Where's Waldo, but you're color-blind and the book makes really silly sounds when you poke it.

One of my favorite concepts for an assassin in the series.

The love child of Guitar Hero, Miis, and middle school band.

This might be my favorite piece of media of all time.
