Remedy has gone above and beyond everything I’ve been expecting from Alan Wake 2 in my 13 years of dreaming about it. As someone who played the original the week that it launched back in 2010, Alan Wake 2 is something that I have been pining for Remedy to make for nearly half of my life. […]

Eurogamer's review of Alan Wake 2, a gorgeous but relentlessly meta game about writing that badly needs an editor.

Alan Wake 2 is a strange, imaginative, and truly ambitious sequel that never fails to upend your expectations. While some of the bigger concepts presented by Remedy Entertainment lack refinement, a few rough edges don't detract from a consistently confident and startlingly original adventure. You won't find anything else quite like Alan Wake 2 this generation.

Even in the moments I was most frustrated, I still admire Remedy’s commitment to creating a unique experience and embracing its weirdness.
