*taps mic* ahem
We are back! Hello all!
Mitch and I have returned to discuss the wildest, weirdest and greatest(?) game Remedy has blessed us with. Part survival horror and part lightbulb swap puzzle game, Alan Wake 2 keeps you in the dark and guessing until the very end.
The other great thing is that no matter how many euros they dump into a game (a total of about 70 million), Remedy keeps their identity and humor through the whole thing. It is also the most expensive product to come out of Finland, officially. Let’s see what Control 2 costs!
The road to Alan Wake 2 is long as Remedy started working on this bad boi since completing the first Alan Wake. Along the way, their ideas were turned into Quantum Break and a side adventure with Control but over a decade of ideas culminated in this ambitious 2023 project.
The surprise for me was Saga Anderson whose sections in the game I ended up enjoying more than Alan’s. In fact, can we just get a Saga and Alex game next?
The game ties perfectly into Control and opens up the world even more.
Next month, we will be discussing MAX PAYNE from 2001!! There is lots to discuss in terms of seeing those early seeds planted for the Remedy-style.
If you need to catch up on any of the Remedy games, I have linked below.
Also, Mitch and I both loved the new Final Destination and Mitch wrote up a great article on it but specifically on the GOAT, Tony Todd.
Anyway, talk soon!
