Alan Wake 2 was one of my favourite gaming experiences in a long time, possibly ever. It will join the list of go-to games I bring up when discussing games-as-art, and I love that there is a recent AAA example of that. It’s innovative, creative, wild and different, and still manages to also deliver a great survival-horror experience in the midst of the weirdness.

It’s a little demanding of you in the sense that you probably want to do the full Remedy “homework” before playing it, but I would say the impact in the end is worth it.
