Another unique narrative experience from Remedy. Like I’ve said before in other Remedy reviews, their games are so narrative heavy that you’re either in it or you’re not, and I’m all the way in. The gameplay was fast and exciting, and the episodic segments helped to build on the world that Remedy is creating. A must play for anyone who enjoyed Control and Wake. The only thing that kept this from five stars is how it ran on the Xbox One. Some cg stuttering in cutscenes and noticeable load times. Fingers crossed that Remedy gets access to this game from Microsoft and maybe a release for current gen hardware

Wow. I absolutely loved the narrative and the format in which it was told. The episodic structure made me want to discuss and theorize what was happening and what would happen in next week’s episode. Much like obsessing over the latest HBO Original Series. (Unfortunately none of my friends are playing this game so I theorized with myself) However, this remaster is far from perfect, especially in the gameplay. The combat here succeeded in creating tension and suspense, but ultimately felt shallow as the game went on. Puzzle solving to navigate the environment was very enjoyable and could’ve been utilized more in place of an excessive amount of villainous waves lacking variety. Overall a very enjoyable experience that has me very excited for Control and Alan Wake 2. Definitely recommend and it may even warrant a second play through for me on Nightmare difficulty to snag those extra manuscript pages.
