this company named remedy entertainment keeps making bangers and showing up everyone at geoff's showcases

A very neat 2-3 hour experience with 3 episodes with 3 different protagonists, all taken from Poison Pill's Remedy's games but given a charming, campy night drama twist. It's not similar to the vanilla game in terms of atmosphere and tension, leaning a lot more into its levity, but that doesn't mean it's not bad. Environments from the base game are taken and remolded to fit whatever wacky reality is there, and they look absolutely stunning. I used the free photo mode they added at least ten times. If you like Alan Wake II, play this. Hell if you like any of Remedy's works, play this.

Sorprendente, para mal o para bien, expansion donde nos encontramos 3 episodios englobados dentro del show Night Springs del universo de Alan Wake.

Esto quiere decir muchas cosas, entre ellas que lo que estamos viendo no es necesariamente algo que pase dentro de ese mundo, sino dentro de la serie antologica estilo The Twilight Zone de ese mundo. Para los que no lo sepan, el escritor Alan Wake antes de hacerse famoso escribio guiones para esa serie y aqui estamos viendo 3 de ellos. La cosa es que en el universo de Alan Wake la ficcion y la realidad esta separada por una barrera muy fina, y encontramos ecos entre ambas al igual que ya vimos en el juego American Nightmare.

Si jugasteis este ultimo os podeis imaginar de que va esto, un tono mas desenfadado, mas jugueton... y esto puede pillar a alguno bastante descolocado. A mi mismo me ha sorprendido bastante porque esperaba totalmente otra cosa, mas cercano al titulo base, lo cual me tenia con unas expectativas muy altas.

En lo personal creo que los capitulos son algo irregulares, con uno bastante entretenido, otro mas flojo y otro muy bueno. Tengo entendido que estaban planeados 4 pero con la muerte del actor que daba voz a Casey se ha quedado colgado eso.

Muy entretenida expansion, aunque ahora paso esas grandes expectativas a la proxima para que ofrezca una experiencia mas en la linea del juego original.

holy fuck this was so good i dont even know what to say

ep1 was super fun and charming, ep2 was atmospheric and intriguing, and ep 3..... that was something else

who would have guessed that my favorite game ever would continue to be incredible?

Short but fun dlc comprised of three unconnected short starring three characters from the series.

Episode 1: Number One Fan
This is the dumbest episode of the three, in a good way. It follows Rose saving Alan the Writer from his semi-evil werewolf twin brother and his legion of haters. This episode is pretty much comprised solely of combat sequences, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The entire episode (and entire dlc for that matter) is very self aware about how incredibly dumb it is (12 gauge pump action fully automatic shotgun). The episode has a fitting bright pink color palette to add to this. Overall I quite liked this episode.

Episode 2: North Star
This episode stars Jesse Faden from Control as she looks for her brother in Coffee World from the main game. This episode is just like one big fetch quest. You go to one area learn you need some information that you can find in some other area of the park. You don't actually need to look for anything by yourself you either just follow Polaris or talk to Sheriff Breaker It's very tedious and they don't do that much with Jesse to make it interesting.

Episode 3: Time Breaker
This episode follows Sheriff Tim Breaker Shawn Ashmore who is acting in a new game by Poison Pill Entertainment, but finds out that the game he's acting is real and embarks on a journey through the multiverse to stop Master of the Many Worlds, Door. This episode has the most story relevant to the "Remedy Connected Universe." It's also probably the hardest episode in the dlc, but that's not saying too much. I do like the twists the game pulls later in the episode, but I won't spoil them.

My ranking of the episodes:
1. Episode 3
2. Episode 1
3. Episode 2

EU TE AMO ROSE!

Eu estou okay com você Jesse

Ah, oi Tim.

What a fun little addition to the base game, fun stories with fun characters, cool references, and inventive ideas. I will say there was clearly repurposed and reused assets all over this, feeling more like a mini-collage of ideas that Remedy had but couldn't manifest put into more of a mini-series of addon stories to the main game that exist outside (and inside?) the reality of Alan Wake and Remedy's multiverse.

Overall fun time, really goofy mini-dlc, just wished there was a bit more to chew on here.
