Remedy, the creative geniuses behind Alan Wake, Control, and Max Payne, to name a few, has always been an odd studio.

Puzzle games usually aren’t chillout games. They’re challenges, brainteasers, mindbenders, and frustrations. Islands of Insight is not that kind of puzzle game. There’s no linear path forcing you to tackle every puzzle in a set order, banging your head against whatever you’re stuck on until you break through. Heck, there isn’t even fall damage, so…
