It’s been on my ‘one of those days’ list for years now, and with Resonance out, they ran a $6 Steam sale for the original which put it in the impulse buy category. Fast forward a week and I’m out of town for work with some hotel time to kill so hooked my Steamdeck up to the TV and gave it a go and wow… I see what the hype is about.

Any non spoiler tips, tricks, or things I should be on the lookout for?

If you haven’t played Alan Wake, it takes place in the same universe.

    How creepy/scary are the AW games? I’m digging Control a lot but it’s definitely stressing me out at times!

    It can be creepy at times, but mostly it feels like an 80s-90s triller/mystery. Spooky, absurd, and weirdly comfy.

    Alan Wake 2 is much scarier but in a tension that keeps on building and building and that you never feel prepared for when shit hits the fan kind of way rather than a jumpscarey kind of way.

    I am 100% not a horror game fan but the Alan Wake games are still in my "everybody should play these" list. 2 is probably in my top 10 maybe even top 5 list of all time favourites.
