Ahead of Alan Wake 2’s Release, One New Indie Calls Back to Remedy’s Origins

For 28 years, Remedy Entertainment has been steadily providing fans with some of the most unique action games available, blending digital worlds with live-action footage and a penchant for strangeness. Ahead of the studio’s latest release in just a few short weeks, indie developer Strange Scaffold has finally launched its long-awaited third-person action game El Paso, Elsewhere, which stands out as a loving homage to Remedy’s first big splash in the industry – the incredible Max Payne. From bullet-time dives to dual-wielded pistols and a plethora of painkillers to heal, El Paso, Elsewhere unabashedly displays its inspirations front and center while also carving out its own niche in the “noir action hero” subgenre.
