The ultimate Remedy game: A sequel to Alan Wake featuring a character resembling Max Payne, the live-action segments of Quantum Break and constant references to Control. For a first attempt at a Survival Horror, they knocked it out of the park, making the original game seem like an accidental comedy in comparison. Of course, it wears its influences up its sleeves a little bit too much (we get it sam! we already know you love twin peaks!) but c'mon, that's already to be expected by these Finnish bastards. Walking around too much after a chapter ended trying to nab collectibles also felt exhausting, even if I quickly forgot about it when getting into a new creative segment.

Other issues included the transition cutscenes (in-between levels, alan's game over screen, character switching) having messed up audio, where it plays, then doesn't play for seconds, then plays and keeps playing even after the cutscene ended. It even affected the last leg of The One Segment Everyone Keeps Talking About for me!
