Only Ahti's yötön yö was a banger. They should've hired Paavoharju and such instead of this wishy washy pop stuff. "I follow you into the dark", jesus, no stomach to it.

Oh, I didn't realize until I saw this comment that you wrote for Wide Awake and Night Springs as well! This project really enhanced my experience with the game. Finishing a chapter and reflecting on what just happened is such a different experience when you can listen to the song, read the lyrics and the words you're absorbing are actually about what you're trying to process. Listening to Superhero really made me connect more to Saga and what was going through her mind. The dialogue in the game made me understand what was troubling her. But the song made me actually feel what she was feeling and that made the experience way more emotional and almost brought me to tears.

It continues to blow my mind the amount of passion being put into this game. It literally leaves me speechless. Every time I’ve watched Sam or any of developers talk about this project you can see the amount of love they have for it. I came to Remedy games late and was introduced to them via Control but they’ve since skyrocketed to be my favorite developer simply because of the love they have for their projects. I can’t wait for the future and see what else Remedy has in store for us.

How can you not love Sam? ❤‍🔥 Alan Wake 2 is a distressing mental labyrinth, distorted and sick, capable of imprisoning you in its darkest corners if you leave it free. But ART is your guide/salvation and never abandons you. The music, the acting, the photography, the writing and the direction lull you gently and lovingly for the entire duration of your dark Dante's wanderings. It helps you break through the blanket of darkness that separates you from a cathartic warmth, a light that pulsates with peace and holds out its hand to you at the end of the tunnel. Thank you SAM and thank you REMEDY for all the love and courage you put in every time to overcome your limits and give us a gaming experience that transcends "the game" itself. This for me is called MAGIC.🖤
