#4 - Alan Wake 2 | Push Square
It's kind of funny having a sequel to a 13-year-old game, that didn't initially launch on PlayStation, make its way into the upper half of our top 10 — but that's what happens when said game is Alan Wake 2. Remedy's long-awaited sequel completely blew us away, earning one of the few 10 out of 10 ratings on the site this year. It's bold, it's unique, and most importantly, it's unapologetically Remedy.
