IMO Alan Wake 2 could have performed much better if it wasn’t an Epic exclusive, but from what I heard, because of that deal, Remedy got their development cost back before the game officially broke even.
Don’t know what to think of Firebreak, because it’s a genre i don’t like (coop) and that doesn’t go well with Remedys biggest strength, the storytelling. Until recently i didn’t even know the game existed.

Firebreak was fun and really solid, definitely lacking a lot of content though. I think Remedy’s scale and (I believe) It being handled by a sister studio they setup definitely provided a hurdle.
Once i saw everything there is to see, there’s not a lot keeping me coming back except when i get an itch for the gameplay loop again. I got maybe 100 hours out of it playing with friends. and even then, thats just me.
