  Maybe it’d help if they released it on Steam. I went to buy it the other day and noticed it’s only on the Epic Games store. I already made that mistake with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and I won’t be doing it again.

  I will be buying this as a Christmas present for several friends.

  Really, really fantastic game, and Remedy is one of the best studios in existence right now. I can’t think of many other games / studios that take swings as big as them.

  Considering how well received this game was, perhaps it is more about marketing or misunderstanding the genre appeal?

    I know I tuned out of Alan Wake 1 really early thinking it was going to be a boring ‘look around with a flashlight game’. I was very surprised by how fun and intricate the combat eventually got when I went back and actually played it through.

    And just how funny and tongue in cheek all the writing is. I think it’s a bit of a hard sell because they want to gradually build and surprise you with new things, and all their humour is super deadpan and satirical of this hard boiled story, which can make it seem kind of boring at a surface / marketing level until you get into it and realize what’s happening and how much fun it is.

    Would probably help if it were available on a platform people actually use

  I haven’t quite finished playing it. I was in some weird music video and never went back to it. Someday.
