I missed that you've started on Alan Wake 2 now, but I'm glad you've got it running somewhat acceptably! It's a very demanding game, when I first played it I didn't have my new PC so I'm intimately familiar with struggling to be able to run it.
I'm glad you spotted the signs, I love the work on all the signs and graffiti in the dark place.
How are you liking the game so far?
Loving it. I played a little bit on launch but put it on the shelf due to the performance (hoping updates would help) and I felt a little iffy on it due to how Alan was portrayed and the far more survival horror like gameplay. But since picking it up again it’s grown on me. I think if put against the First One/American Nightmare I don’t think I could pick a favorite. I love both for different reasons
It's become one of my favourite games of all time, I think it's a masterpiece. I love the Remedy connected universe, and as someone who played and loved Max Payne back in the day I got a huge nostalgia kick from the cameos in AW2. When you first see Casey in the Max Payne 1 outfit I squealed.
I also think Alice's actress is absolutely killing it and am surprised she didn't get more recognition.
up until recently Alan Wake was the only Remedy game i played. I picked up control and loved it and then recently played through Max Payne. I think it's evolved from Alan Wake being my favorite game too Remedy being my favorite game studio. It makes me excited seeing how all these things connect together.
