“This story will eat us alive. This story is a monster.”
It finally clicked. Glimpses of the potential Remedy had to make a game like this definitely existed in Alan Wake 1 and Control, but this game feels like all the pieces came together in the way they needed to.
The lean into horror creates an amazing atmosphere of light and dark, the mix of live action is super cool, and the unique gameplay elements Saga and Alan have make both sides feel unique (even if I prefer the Saga sections a little bit). The sometimes vague puzzles small story gripes I have don’t even bother me that much, just because of how great everything surrounding it really is.
Seeing what they’ve done here makes me super excited for Control 2, and I hope Remedy can continue to make games as amazing as this.
