Enjoyed this a lot more this time. The world building is ridiculously good; there's so many tiny little horror stories crammed into this thing, just lying around for you to read. Made me kind of wish I was playing through a bunch of those, instead of just reading about them, but I guess that's what Alan wake 2 basically is, so I can't complain too much.

Wish it was weirder, wish the story wasn't so underwhelming, wish Jesse was a more interesting protagonist, wish there was more Dr Darling. By all metrics Control 2 should be a banger.

I was going to give this a 7/10 but then the game pulled out the final level where you can 1 hit kill everything and I love final levels where you can 1 hit kill everything so of course it gets a bonus point.
