Remedy games are so good man, for real. I loved Alan Wake so I figured I would dig this one as well. And so I did, finished this in 2 days while sick and what a trip it was. The lore, the universe and the story are all pretty good - mysterious weird trippy stuff.

The plot and characters were maybe just decent when compared with Alan Wake or even Bioshock and the likes. But, in a similar fashion to Alan Wake, the universe and lore are more interesting than the actual plot - though Alan Wake's is better.

Gameplay wise it gets kinda repetitive but it's got pretty fun and creative combat, with some sparse puzzles sprinkled in there.

The thing that makes the game what it is though is it's CHARM. The aesthetic, the narration, the live action videos are all super charming. The whole thing reaks of David Lynch, as Alan Wake did too. Although this one leans more towards Stephen King and X-Files too.

Overall really great game, even if it's a bit repetitive at times and doesn't have the strongest of characters or story.

I think I saw somewhere that all Remedy games are linked in the same universe too, which could make the lore in here even better.
