Wow, what a complete surprise for me. And WOW I am so jealous of the fans of the first Alan Wake. To get a game with this kind of pay off after the 13 year wait must have been insane. This game is wonderful.
I really loved how Saga's and Alan's segments felt so different from each other, yet eventually came together for an insanely satisfying conclusion. I am really excited to see what comes next from Remedy.
Only thing I will note as an issue I had, some chapters had some not great map navigation. Control had the same issue imo, and to be fair, it is a LOT better here. But it was noticeable for sure, especially in the early Alan chapters.
I am bummed I didn't get to play this game last year, because it would have been pretty high on my GOTY list. And to be entirely honest, I would have loved to see this game win Game of the Year. It wouldn't have been mine personally, but this game would have deserved it.
