Just finished Alan Wake 2 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I just finished Alan Wake 2 and the 3 episodes of the DLCs. Alan Wake 2 is a literal masterpiece in my opinion, the gameplay was similar to its first game but refined, the story dark, mood, mysterious and weird. I also loved the references to the other games. Like Ahti. The ending of Alan Wake 2 made me wonder and sad (I won’t mention it to avoid spoilers).

The 3 DLCs made me immensely hyped up though - they were weird and like a love-letters to their fan-base of all three games. Spoiler tagged, don't open if you have not played the DLCs (you have been warned);

spoilerIn the second episode you play as Jesse Faden and try to find your brother, this is basically a teaser for its sequel which was confirmed by the developers. The ending twist of this episode! I can't wait for the sequel. The third episode its a love letter and possible teaser to Quantum Break. I genuinely hope, they do make a sequel of that one too.

I was not certain how much, I could write without spoilers therefore it might be a little underwhelming or not much.

I assume they're planning a second DLC for Alan Wake and I will get that one as well. In the meantime, I will take a little break and then replay Quantum Break and Control.

Is Control on steam? I have the GoG version. But that game is "multiplatform" then Alan Wake very well could be too

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Control is on steam because it was published by 505 games.

Don't get me wrong I'm anti epic buying exclusivity for games. But like if they fully funded the development and published it....

Ah gotcha. Thanks. I was assuming it was the same publisher .

And I agree with you. It's been like that for forty years. I never understand why people get so upset over it recently.
