Remedy to me is one of the great developers in the last decade. Their games are so unique and really should be lauded more in the media and video game community

@sombrehero3738 3 года назад

Max Payne had me marked in his time. The atmosphere of this game was incredible but alas, at that time my computer wasn't performing well and I never finished it. And then I discovered Alan Wake, a pearl in the universe of the game. And now I'm playing Control. Remedy's work is colossal. Each one of their games is a success, a perfection. Each of them exudes a unique atmosphere that explores the depths of our mind and its mysteries.

The second game had a bigger budget, so they could afford actors for the story boards and the likeness of the characters.
