If you haven’t played Alan Wake, it takes place in the same universe.

One of the best games of all time. You don’t need any tips. Just explore and play. Try different guns. Try different abilities. Look around environments to appreciate how amazing the areas look.

I’m still playing through this on my phone!

I found the game got more and more fun the further into the game I got, since more abilities started being unlocked that added much more variety to the gameplay. I really ended up loving it by the time I finished it.

Hey, better late than never! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Resonant is just as good if not better.

It’s in my top 5 games of all time. One of very few games I’ve played through multiple times. I love the universe, lore, design, characters, feel and everything else. And it’s still one of the best looking hames ever made IMO, and one of the few games who used RTX almost perfectly.

I heard it’s a spooky game, but is it spooky in Silent Hill way or Prey 2017 way?

Read/watch everything. Maybe after dealing with an object of power, there’ll be a slightly redacted memo about it. There’s inner office politics in other memos. The world building is absolutely amazing if you choose to be patient and read everything you can.

Damn, I’ve had this game sitting at 0 hours played in my library for a while now. Worth giving it a shot it sounds like?

Loved Control. Currently playing through the sequel.

The game really rewards being aggressive. There’s a reason enemies drop health pickups where they die - keep moving and take advantage of that.

Take! Control! (it will take a while to get there and understand)

I don’t consider what I’m about to say a spoiler, but some people might. spoiler There is a part of this game that is going to knock your socks off. It’s one of the best things in my gaming life. Once you’ve gotten to that part, let me know because I just like going back and forth about how incredible it is. If you get through a part of the game and wonder, “Was this the part that person on the internet was talking about?” you haven’t gotten there. When you get there, you’ll know.

I feel like I'm the only person who didn't like it? I hated not being able to figure out where to go

I loved it, it’s a pretty unique experience. But to be totally honest, I hated it until I messed with the assist mode settings. So my personal tip, which is definitely not for everyone, is to completely customize those settings as much as you want. Some of the default combat and QOL features are way off in my opinion, and once I got over the shame of changing some fundamental settings, the game opened way up for me and I was able to get completely into the story. The devs added the settings a year or two after the game’s release, so they must have been getting a lot of feedback. Enjoy! You’re in for a wild ride.

I only started it a couple of weeks ago and it’s one of the few games I’ve kept going with. Highly recommended it to my daughter who is loving it too.

Loved this game. Loved Alan Wake 2 even more! Definitely give it a try when you have the chance. AW1 Remastered holds up as well if you haven’t played it.

I only just played it as well! (At least the main story and one DLC, not entirely done). I also like it a lot. The whole SCP atmosphere is fun, and I loved Ahti especially. Tip: You should do the quest “My Brother’s Keeper” earlier rather than later. I tried doing all the side quests first, but got a little stuck because I was missing something. Tip: If you bought the DLCs (for example if you got Ultimate Edition), one of them starts rather randomly so if you start seeing Alan Wake, you’ve entered the crossover DLC. You can do it in between or after the main mission, it doesn’t hurt to do it early. The other DLC starts after the last main quest of the main game.
