I’ve been playing the remake and I absolutely LOVE this game. I understand I’m playing a modernized version of it that probably looks and has better features - but the core of this game is so good. How come it didn’t get a sequel after release? Why did it’s sequel take till 2023?
I’m honestly glad that their original idea for Alan Wake 2 wasn’t the one they went with. I think them using what they learned from Control, and the switch to survival horror really benefited the new game. The repetitive stuff in American Nightmare got annoying pretty fast
Is the second game any good? I’ve barely even heard of the game and got it for free with my graphics card a month ago and still haven’t even looked at it. Now I’m hearing quite a bit about it. Looks like it could just be heavily story driven though, which doesn’t interest me.
I don’t even remember it being that well reviewed at the time.
Maybe I’ll replay it eventually. I was pretty down on it, but to be honest my opinion was probably biased because at the time I was just so sick of all these AAA “horror” games that would come out and have zero scares. Pissed me off.
