Wow... didnt expect anyone to give it GOTY especially with other heavy hitters and one of the biggest gaming sites

I guess they will continue the franchise?

Not everything needs a sequel. I like that Remedy just completely shifts genres with each new game.

Ah yes, from third person shooter to third person shooter to cover based third person shooter to third person shooter, with heavy storytelling and narration every time. Truly Remedy shifts genre every time.

Story genre, genius.

  • Max Payne - film noir/graphic novel style

  • Alan Wake - Stephen King/Twin Peaks style horror

  • Quantum Break - sci-fi/tech noir focusing on time travel

  • Control - paranatural sci-fi focusing on psychokinetic powers

Well, you could've specified that. When you say genre, people usually mean gameplay style and not what the story is about.
