Remedy is proving that they have a handle on storytelling in games like no other. The way in which this developer weaves storytelling with gameplay is innovative in ways I haven't seen. This is backed with extremely impressive technical wizardry (The Mind Place, the lamp) and massively improved core gameplay over the original game. Enemies are genuinely threatening, while combat encounters are just sparse enough to remain interesting. This is the kind of game that had me googling "story discussion reddit" immediately after finishing it meaning it's one I'll be thinking about for some time.
