    I loved control and Alan wake 1 (although that was years ago and I don’t think the gameplay holds up anymore).

    I’m hesitant to pick this up because I can’t imagine it maintaining the same atmosphere as control being this big third person action adventure. I imagine the cut scenes still being good but while playing it you don’t get the same SCP vibe as Control. If anyone has comments on this I’d love to be persuaded, as of right now it’s a wait until deep sale for me which I wouldn’t have believed about a Control sequel.

      I’ve only played a few hours so far, but I can say that what I’ve played so far was fun as fuck lol. It’s a different play-style than the first, with this one focused on melee, but the combat is pretty fun. The atmosphere is still very weird in the best way Control started, but it is slightly less SCP like (I haven’t seen the huge amounts of reports of strange objects and such) but I’m only a few hours in so idk how the rest of the game looks.
