Alan Wake 2 was a breakout success story for Remedy Entertainment in 2023. Long-time fans waited 13 years for the sequel to the original cult classic, and perhaps even Remedy itself wasn't expecting the overwhelmingly positive reception it received. Alan Wake 2 went all-in on survival horror, expanding its mind-bending narrative while incorporating some of the best and most surprising live-action moments seen in gaming to date, delivering one of the most memorable experiences of the year.
