If the original is a blend of Twin Peaks, Silent Hill and Stephen King, this game is that mixed with some modern Resident Evil, X-Files and some analog horror. Love how in the modern day Remedy is still keeping up with FMVs as a genuine part of storytelling. It's something so subversive and postmodern while also being a big blockbuster game. Visually it's one of the first games I've seen where it's on a scale that truly feels next-gen with it's visuals. Playing with my 4070, which came bundled with the game I saw it go down to it's knees trying to run the path tracing shit, and it looked gorgeous while it was doing it. One of the first games in a long while where I just felt some sorta way after completing it. Pure game kino.
