Great follow up to Alan Wake 13 years later, almost everything is better and more interesting than in the first game. Almost.

Story is cool and more engaging. Love the connections to Control. Music rules. The case board is satisfying to fill out. The plot threads and light diffusion are cooler than any of the environment changes in Control. Puzzles are all fun. Combat is routinely frustrating, Reloading usually means death, enemies even if there's very few of them sometimes take more than a full clip to kill and that just feels bad, The wolves when you play as Saga are the most annoying enemy ever put in a video game, and routinely switching to a healing item or throwable glitches out and makes me stop -> switch to gun -> switch back to item -> die because of how long it takes.

I'll do The Final Draft when the other DLC comes out.
