Remedy nowadays only does mediocre games (except maybe control), all bought by sweeny for the freebies store.
Games + movies/series == trash.
OP talks about a series, then one defends the series and says i play trash, i reply with: "I don't play trash or in your case, watch trash", now it's up to you to interpret.
Tl;dr: I don't agree but who cares.
I didn't knew Remedy made any games after Alan Wake American Nightmare, except for Quantum Break and Control, and looking at wikipedia page about Remedy they did only one - some strategy game for iOS in 2014, which is dead since 2017. I don't know what mediocre games you speak about (maybe Quantum Break, I hadn't played it), but imo Control was exceptionaly good game. So I can't really agree that Remedy makes mediocre games (not that someone cares if I agree or not though).
About games+movies/series=trash - most of the time yes, it is, but not always. I think that Sonic The Hedgehog movie wasn't a bad one, I liked it, especially the acting of Jim Carrey. And in, the case of Alan Wake, the game was made to resemble tv series in the first place, so there's reasons to believe that this TV series have potential. There's no point in saying that this will be trash until it's released, nor there's reasons to be hyped about it, too.
And about Genshin Impact. I don't really know what you meant (I assume that you meant something along the lines of "bad smartphone game", but I can be way off point), so I just drop my opinion and call it a day. I get that trashing this game on gbatemp is a common practice (especially because the devs promised but not delivered a switch port), but imo Genshing is a good game, great even. Sure, it have it's bad sides, like gacha mechanics, very tedious and time consuming daily gameplay mechanics, ultra long grind for character building materials and filler story elements, but pretty much everything else in it is great. Great art, amazing soundtrack, nice voice acting (at least japanese), fun core gameplay, great visuals, good optimisation, constant updates (except current delay, but this never happened earlier, they sticked to "big update every 1.5 months" release schedule for more than one and a half years), deep lore and worldbuilding, interesting overall story and so on. And the fact that it runs on phones is a major plus point, because it looks and plays amazing for a phone game, and because many parts of gameplay are timed and having it on mobile makes it possible to not be tethered to your PC to get optimal rewards. I've been playing this game for 1.5 years (on PC) and in all this time I get to conclusion that this game's like a tv series - you get new content, complete it in a couple of days, wait a week, get new content and so on, and once a year you get new season (in form of major update like 2.0 was). Yes, this game is very time consuming, but fun and rewarding. Btw, this was the first gacha game I have ever played, and I hope it will be my last, I really don't want to get hooked like this again. Also, in all this time I hadn't spent even a cent on it, and I got 37 out of 48 playable caharacters in the game,so it's indeed possible to enjoy this game free-to-play.
