Explore a warped Manhattan on the brink of paranatural annihilation in this thrilling action-adventure RPG. Unleash the extraordinary powers of Dylan Faden as he fights for his humanity and survival against a reality-bending cosmic threat.

I never got around to the original but was it this action packed? Always seemed like more of a slow thriller to me

[Gokulo]

It's a thriller, but definitely not slow. The combat system with the telekinetic powers is really fun. You should definitely check it out, it is a very cool experience

What they showed is completely different gameplay from the first game. The first Control is amazing tho, absolutely one of the best games of the last decade

[Tyrath]

Is it scawy though??

[Krandor]

Yes-ish.

I wouldn't call it a full on horror game, but it absolutely has horror elements

[Tyrath]

Thats partly what kept me from it. I'm not that into horror games haha

[Gokulo]

It's more horror in theme than gameplay I'd say

[Krandor]

Yeah it has scary elements and themes but the gameplay is pure 3d metroidvania

[Tyrath]

Maybe I'll check it out after I am done with Tsushima, if it's still on PS plus

[Qalbert]

so question about Remedy stuff in general, spoiler tagging because even the question might give stuff away

Spoiler: show

I know/am under the impression that Alan Wake and Control are connected to some extent, only played a little bit of Alan Wake way back when. Own AW Remastered and Control, haven't bought AW2 yet. where should I begin, just go by release order?

[Krandor]

All of their games are connected in some way, AW2 even makes Quantum Break and Max Payne references (though not directly since they don't own those IPs).

But if you wanted the full deep dive yes you'd go in order with Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Control (especially the second DLC, which leads directly into Alan Wake 2) and then Alan Wake 2.

Truth be told American Nightmare kinda sucks, you'd maybe be better off just reading a synopsis since Alan Wake 2 references it A LOT

fwiw the games are currently on a massive discount on Steam (90% for the first 2 Alan Wake games and 85% for Control).

[Qalbert]

I've almost bough AW2 on sale a couple times but held off since I haven't gotten started with the others yet

[Gokulo]

They just gave it out on PS Plus, but I don't remember if it was a monthly game or was it added to the catalogue

Mac version announced

[Takiwaki]

This looks great but there just seems to be a lack of impact? Def will be playing this though.
