    I hope the “flashlight that goes out all the time because the batteries are trash” gameplay got reworked for the better. I like the first game, but really didn’t like the combat.

      They needed to limit it somewhat because light is your most powerful weapon. Later in the game you’re even being given multiple ways of generating light.

      I feel like if the takeaway was “always waiting for it to recharge”, you’re missing the point of the combat structure.

    I’m wondering if the woman interviewing him is from the Department of Control; often feels like a missed opportunity to mix universes and not take advantage of it.

    Very excited for this. This was one of my favorite games on 360 when it came out. Just recently played the remastered and felt it was a bit repetitive. Hope they’re able to get some variation going with the combat for the sequel.

    I still need to go through the DLC. Has anyone gone through them?

        I would put Control pretty high on a list of all my favorite games. Phenomenal experience and definitely one of the highlights of games in the last few years

        I really enjoyed Control. Just finished it the main story and AWE dlc recently. Gotta go through the foundation one now.

        I loved both! I think I enjoyed Alan Wake more when I was playing it back on the 360. But looking back now I think Control is definitely the better game.AW just holds a special place with me as It was so unique for its time.

          Sure thing, AW Remastered with all DLCs and Control Complete Collection with the DLCs…

          That’s why I need to know how the story continues!

            Still need to finish the Foundation DLC for Control! I really enjoyed the AWE dlc but wish I didn’t know Alan Wake 2 was being released before I played it. By the way what did you think of the Alan Wale dlc? The gameplay mechanics were getting a little tiresome.

              I enjoyed Foundation as well, so I would definitely play it.

              My timeline for playing is Control (when it released) > Alan Wake Remastered (earlier this year) > Control with all DLCs (after AW). Alan Wake was always on my radar, but when I it finally came to the PS Collection for free I had no excuses left haha

              Alan Wake as a whole did not age too well gameplay wise… but the story is just so good and the pacing is also nice. There is always something new going on and it also has the perfect length.

              Funny story for the DLCs, they are quite hidden in the Remaster (you hab to manually select them from Main Menu > Chapter Select > Extra Episode 1 and 2)

              I really enjoyed them, the gave the much needed context on what’s happened to Alan after the end of the main game.
