This was the lesser of Control's two DLCS for me, but it's still just more Control so it's solid by default
I kind of went into this expecting more of a full on set up for Alan Wake II than is presented here, so I was little surprised by how little Alan Wake involvement there really is.
The strongest part of the DLC for me was the first 20-30 minutes or so of it where the more emphasized horror tone of it sticks out. Once you get into the actual meat of what you're doing that sorta dies out, which I guess is kind of a given in a game where you play as a character as strong as Jesse
Incorporation of the light mechanic here was also pretty cool and creative but not much is done with it

Don’t really have all that much to say about this without just repeating most of what I said in my review of the main game.
It’s more Control, it’s good!
Liked the new powers and thought the level design was pretty good, story doesn’t really make the ending of the original game feel less rushed or abrupt but there’s some interesting enough sequel bait stuff here involving The Board & The Former that I liked. Final boss was fun too

Definitely the better of the two DLCs
More creativity here in the level design which doesn’t mostly consist of reused areas from the main game this time. The exploding words mechanic is a much bigger and more fleshed out aspect of the gameplay, enemy spam isn’t as bad, and there’s more interesting stuff going on story wise. Alan’s VA also gives a much better performance in these DLCs than in the main game too which is nice
