Summary
Remedy Entertainmentis known for its story-driven, stunning, and thought-provoking titles. Many ofRemedy Entertainment’s games push the boundaries of narratives, with an almost David Lynch-inspired combination of storytelling. However, Remedy Entertainment stands on its own two feet as a successful developer, filled with talent worthy of recognition for producing some of the best games on the market.
The best games by Remedy Entertainment come in many different forms. The talent of Remedy has been shown in many different games, and the action that they create, and the thrills that transpire, are all part of the charm. Whilst playerswait for titles likeAlan Wake 2, it’s best to look up their previous and best work.
Updated on June 28, 2025, by Jake Fillery:Remedy Entertainment continues to prove that they are a groundbreaking company when it comes to creating new experiences. This update will add the recently released Alan Wake 2 to the list, but where will it rank? Readers can also find the Metascore for each game, along with a cohesive reason for why they rank Remedy Entertainment’s best games the way that they are. Whether it involves a gun, an interesting and somewhat paranormal mystery, or a wacky car, Remedy Entertainment doesn’t shy away from creativity or imagination.
Crossfire Xhas a strange and somewhat upsetting lifespan. The game came out, and then mere months later, went away.Crossfire Xshut down in 2023. The main problem withCrossfire Xcame from the fact that not many players had heard of it. However, Remedy is not to blame, as they were only in charge of the single-player mode for this free-to-play FPS game.
Crossfire Xsimply fails to offer players anything pastmediocre and bland combat, as well as story campaigns that just don’t hit the same beats that Remedy Entertainment is so great at. The studio behind such iconic games cannot be blamed forCrossfire X, but it’s still on their record.
7Death Rally
Metascore (User Score): 8.7
Remedy does things a little bit differently withDeath Rally. The game doesn’t feature the usual third-person action that fans would expect, and instead, takes them to a classic top-down racer, which features more carnage and viciousness than players might be used to.
The objective ofDeath Rallyis to win the race, but also to watch out from literally exploding.Death Rallyfeatures car combat, where players will lock and load against each other, or AI enemies for some intense and explosive action.
Perhaps the most cinematic of Remedy’s library isQuantum Break, a game that brings a blockbuster to the triple-A scene.Quantum Breakwas extremely ambitious, but that could be a testament to its downfall as one of Remedy’s best titles. The game was part gameplay, part live-action, and plenty of cutscenes tokeep players confusedand attempting to dissect the narrative.
Quantum Breakis a fairly decent experience, but it’s not a very memorable one. Remedy Entertainment has such a solid library of games that it often leavesQuantum Breakdiscarded for the superior toys.
With nothing to lose, Max Payne comes in hot with a smoking barrel inMax Payne. The game features a post-Matrixworld, in which“bullet time”is the new and best thing to hit the gaming scene.Max Paynedid a lot of things right for its entry into the gaming scene, and many long for its return thanks to Remedy Entertainment’s style and charm.
The game itself follows Max, who is hunted by cops and mobs alike. As an early and ambitious title in Remedy’s portfolio, it makes sense that the game lacks somewhat in story, but more than makes up for it with its exciting and somewhat evolutionary gameplay that set a standard.
Alan Wakeis perhaps the game that Remedy Entertainment is most famous for.Alan Wakewas Remedy at its finest, combining elements of mystery, intrigue, and thriller to create a riveting story within a video game. The game itself followsAlan Wake, a writerwho finds himself in a mystery involving the town of Bright Falls and his missing wife.
Alan Wakecould be the first entry for new Remedy Entertainment fans to experience how the studio tells its stories, with convoluted means adding to the addiction of their narratives, as well as overwhelming odds that make mastering the combat all the more fun and challenging, even if combat can get fairly repetitive and stale at times.
Visually stunning, completely confusing, and thoroughly entertaining;Controlwas a hit for Remedy Entertainment and showed just how far they had come as a studio. The narrative ofControlis perplexing, leaving players on the edge of their seats as they try to uncover the mysterious and shady dealings of this new andexciting world that they have entered themselves into.
What makesControlshine is its gameplay, where players can combine their guns and powers to great effect. With satisfying combat, players can find themselves addicted to each gunfight, and the puzzles that wait outside of them.
Learning from the previous entry,Max Payne 2is bigger and better than the original for some fans. Remedy Entertainment outdid itself by including adeeply personaland emotional story about love and action, providing players with a thrill ride for this film-noir-inspired tale.Max Payne 2takes the combat and character that fans enjoyed and elevates it once more.
Not only is the story superior to the previous game butMax Payne 2highlights what worked about the first by making some truly great gameplay. From the stylish set pieces to the exhilarating slow-motion gunplay,Max Payne 2does a great job of propelling Max Payne’s journey.
Alan Wake 2truly feels like a celebration of Remedy’s past and future. Everything that works in their previous titles comes into play forAlan Wake 2, complete with the weird and out-there story that may confuse some. Players will have needed to playAlan Waketo even start to try and understand the story, which wears its inspiration on its sleeves.
With greater connections and references to previous Remedy games, as well as the continuation of Alan Wake’s story after all these years,Alan Wake 2has some exciting and modern gameplay, with a story that can steal the show.Alan Wake 2perfectly blends its exciting combat with its puzzle element gameplay, whilst having a great synergy between thedual protagonistsof Alan Wake and Saga Anderson.
