XCOM. Civilization. Half-Life. There are certain games we adore here at PCGamesN, certifiable PC classics that we consider part of our personal canon. Certainly, when it comes to collector's editions, reissues, or the occasional game of the year overhaul, we'd be tempted to buy a second copy of some of these beloved stalwarts. And maybe, just maybe, we'd go a little further - if it's a game we really, wildly adore, we might buy it twice, just in case one copy breaks, or so we can play it on PC and also another, second platform. But even with Baldur's Gate 3, Doom, and Command and Conquer, it's hard to think of a game that we love so much we'd buy it 4,000 times. Alan Wake 2 was fantastic. Control, Max Payne, and even the overlooked Quantum Break more than prove that Remedy is one of the best mainstream game-makers today. But is that enough to justify owning 4,000 copies of the studio's original, 2010 horror shooter? For one Alan Wake fan, the answer is a resounding 'yes.'
