i was blown away by alan wake 2. everything remedy has done so far has been a trial-and-error learning process over decades to make this incredible game that appeals to me in countless ways. on top of being scary and thoughtful and funny, it's sincerely a joy to play through. i love this game. and i started the 2nd playthrough, but decided to take a break before continuing, and i cannot wait to see what it reveals to me in my upcoming victory lap. just a really stellar experience all around.
