1 month ago, I know, sorry. I ended up upgrading and AW2 was like 70% of the reason. Can’t do RT and still hit 60 but even without it, what an incredible looking game, and that’s only the beginning. I don’t think I’ve ever played anything like this. It’s your basic (albeit bery solid) survival horror sure but the tone is PITCH FUCKING PERFECT and the story’s interesting in a way very few are. I’m only a few chapters in but it feels like playing through a novel more than a game.

I’m on the non-epic PC version right now (shhh) but I’m 100% buying it once I get the disposable income because even though I hate Epic, god damn Remedy deserves to make money off this.

Right?! I can’t run it at the moment so I’ll need to upgrade first, but damn literally every frame I’ve see of Alan Wake 2 is just peak Remedy goodness. The not being able to run it part actually kinda works out for me though because I wanna buy it once it hits Steam (although they seem to be taking their sweet ass time, it’s like they hate money or something).

Remedy’s one of the last handfull of studios still making actually good AAA games that aren’t compromised for monetization’s sake, or to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I went Control -> Control: Foundation DLC -> Alan Wake and now I’m a thurd of the way through Control AWE DLC. Can confirm, what a ride.

Plus both games have amazing soundtracks. Got multiple songs from both on my regular rotation.
