Remedy likes connecting their games. Max Payne showed up numerous times in Alan Wake, though you might not have realized it, since they mostly involved obscure voice work and bathroom graffiti. The studio has kept the tradition alive with their time-manipulating thriller Quantum Break, available now, with a decidedly less subtle nod that stars Mr. Wake and his trusty clicker, among other things, in a surprisingly lengthy tribute that’ll leave you aching for a sequel.
In related news, Alan Wake and its pseudo-sequel American Nightmare are now playable on Xbox One. Quantum Break is out on PC and Xbox One.
