I LOVED how each and enemies in Alan Wake had professions (like woodsman, or salesman, can't quite remember) and their war quotes during the battle was simply one-liners about their job. Like "Omega 3 fatty acids are good for your heart!" Or "Modern camping equipment is lightweight!". It was creepy as hell.

I'm honestly at a loss as to why everyone loves Control so much. I personally think its Remedy's weakest game. The setting and the world building is incredible, but the lack of story, characterization, good voice acting, along with repetitive gameplay and a forgettable protagonist disappointed me immensely. And jeez, that menu map is probably the worst that I've ever seen implemented into any game. I was frustrated and bored by the 2/3rds mark and just wanted it to be over. The ending wasn't even worth the effort at all, but I will say the art direction and graphics were some of the best I have ever seen.

@evanharrison4054

Basically the king of character oriented mystery horror. I would go even so far as to say that it is the only game to ever do lovecraftian horror properly, not just relying on the surface tropes, but actually capturing the deeper meaning of cosmic horror by tapping into that...instinctive fear of the great unknown that we all know is there. While I cannot say that the ending line *"It's not a lake. It's an ocean."* was the best ever, I am confident that it's the best ending that was never followed up with a proper sequel. American Nightmare is great, don't get me wrong, but the ending is just heartbreaking. You finally see Alan reunite with Alice, only for it to dawn on you that this reality is not that reality. Brilliant. Think about it, the first installment was structured as a contemporary tv show, while the "sequel" was not at all subtly similar to The Twilight Zone. It was practically telegraphed from the first moment that Alan's writing has forced him to descend through the different layers of reality, all the way down to fiction. I could go on longer, but the point is that most people really missed the deeper significance and just wrote it off as a second tier horror game. Probably because they didn't play the two DLCs. There's some seriously important information there that probably should have been part of the original game.

The open world change into a more structured form somehow added tremendously to the atmosphere and believability of this game world. You can look off into the distance and see a past objective or a future one all there waiting for you to get there. You can see the fog enveloping it along with the great lighting, with all the great soundscape design happening during the action/scary parts, but as well in the downshift daytime "safe" scenes of serenity. It all culminated in an epic masterpiece of environment and writing and dialogue and characters that remains unforgettable.

I recently replayed Alan Wake and its DLC's and I'm so happy to see something like this uploaded and share in my love of Alan Wake with fellow fans in the comments here! This game is so underrated. Beautiful setting (I want to move to Washington state because of this game!) and an interesting gameplay mechanic with the light, sure, it isn't the most varied game, doesn't have tons of enemy types or tons of weapons but I think it's better for that, it's a tighter narrative and knows its limits instead of trying to go all out and get lost for it, it's still interesting and honestly a really great fun game. Also I have to say I hope whenever we see Alan Wake 2, they take the mechanics in the first game and not American Nightmare into account when it comes to the enemies darkness shields as I feel like it added a lot of strategy to trying to break their shields with focusing the flashlight, draining your batteries, then not wanting to waste batteries, going back to draining slowly by just pointing and dodging. I feel like it took away from that in AN where you could only break the shields by focused light, and nothing else.

What´s amazing about this concept, is that it this serves as a double-edged sword. In another words, it works as narrative tool, inside of the game´s story, and as gameplay tool as well, Jesse, in many situations, starts talking directly to the player.

I must say that Remedy is my favorite game studio. They might not be as advanced as Rockstar from a technical side but man when you play Remedy games there's always this special vibes you can't feel anywhere else and it's in a lot of ways due to the story writing - the very work of this person. Thank you, Sam Lake for making Remedy special for all of us! 🙏

On the off chance anyone at Remedy reads this. When Sam Lake said the cut bits from the old version provide a sense of realness he is 100% right, it totally adds to it. Also I love the fact that you guys are so open with the development of your games and I hope you continue to do so. Thank you so much for some of the best experiences I've had gaming.

Love this - always loved “A. Wake” and think about it still. I actually remember a dream I had that took place in that game (with a large bridge and interior corridors within some maintenance access area), and I always wondered if I’d come across the same location (I didn’t finish it because I’m terrible, and so I never found out)!
@APerson-tx7ei
@APerson-tx7ei 4 года назад
There is a giant bridge with a control center, the bridge spins around and stuff to connect the two different sides, there’s also one bridge like that that’s filled with stuff. You should try again to beat the game, the end is really good!

What he's describing as the original concept of Alan Wake is what they're now doing with Alan Wake 2. Hopefully, the advancements in technology will make their original vision come to life. After Control, I trust Remedy fully whatever they decide to do. Love ya, Sam, stay safe and keep making masterpieces.

Thanks to Sam and everyone at Remedy for making Alan Wake! One of the most full/enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had. Amazing Story telling and design, I imagine even David Lynch would enjoy this homage. Looking forward to playing Control and seeing the tie-in. Also this series is awesome, thanks Ars!

It was a great experience and I really enjoyed it, it’s our for free on the Xbox game pass right now.

Alan Wake is my favorite video game of all time. I'm now 43 and hope a true sequel comes out before I pass. There isn't even a close second game. I've been gaming since the original Nintendo came out. We should be on Alan Wake 3 or 4 by now, hopefully this is a hint that Control's new dlc will tie story wise into the beggining of Alan Wake 2. C'mon Remedy, us fans have waited long enough. WE NEED ALAN WAKE 2!!!

I'm a writer myself so Alan Wake has a special place in my life, it was perfect, it felt like the trials and techniques of writing just surfaced from off the pages and into something more physical, it was beautiful. When I first played it I actually treated it like a TV series and played each level separately every night so after the first ''episode'' I would quit for the night and jump back on the next, it was quite an experience.
