A game that combines some of my favorite niches into this beautiful blend of surreal meta fiction, survival horror, and just plain weird. Pretty much everything I loved about Control is here and the mystery and intrigue of the first Alan Wake comes back tenfold.
While this game isn’t perfect, I find the overall experience has resonated with me in a way that only a few pieces of media can. There’s some collectible stuff that isn’t too intriguing and also some parts could’ve been more gamey instead of drag and drop to listen to a character’s thoughts but the minor gripes I have with the game don’t subtract from my overall experience.
When you play something like Alan Wake 2 and you fall in love with it, it makes you wish that you can make something on a similar level. I relate a lot to Alan here and I really loved Saga as well. Remedy really knocked it out of the park and while many would probably disagree that this is goty, I’d say for me it is (I’ve yet to play RE4R despite having preordered it lol or TOTK). It’s just right up my alley and does almost everything to my liking. So my rating makes sense to me but obviously everyone will come out of this game with different feelings.
