Coming hot off of a 13 year gap, Remedy has finally released the sequel to their Xbox 360 darling Alan Wake. Well.....they did 6 months ago.

So even if I wasn't already working on a retrospective covering all of Remedy's non Max Payne output, I would still have a moral obligation to review it. So let's see how this game holds up to the mountain of praise it has been getting on social media.
