Nice companion piece to Alan Wake 2, it's fun to see many of what becomes Remedy's hallmarks in this; lots of references to Norse myths, Twin Peaks, 665 "The Neighbour of the Beast" and so on. The way it tells its story through comic strips consisting of photos of staff and family members feels like the predecessor to what would come in 20 years as Remedy continues to blend in live-action footage of actors to deliver a narrative. The mashup of film noir and John Woo is a genius idea for a setting and basically makes this one of the coolest games ever made, and aside from some clunky movement/controls it still holds up very well. Remakes are certainly a blight on the games industry at the moment, but with 2 decades of experience and technological development since, I honestly welcome the upcoming remake of Max Payne. Just as long as Remedy has full control over it. Alex Casey and the Noir York City segments in Alan Wake 2 have proven that they still have so much love for the character and setting, and I completely trust them to deliver something that would stand strong in comparison with the original.
