Wow. I absolutely loved the narrative and the format in which it was told. The episodic structure made me want to discuss and theorize what was happening and what would happen in next week’s episode. Much like obsessing over the latest HBO Original Series. (Unfortunately none of my friends are playing this game so I theorized with myself) However, this remaster is far from perfect, especially in the gameplay. The combat here succeeded in creating tension and suspense, but ultimately felt shallow as the game went on. Puzzle solving to navigate the environment was very enjoyable and could’ve been utilized more in place of an excessive amount of villainous waves lacking variety. Overall a very enjoyable experience that has me very excited for Control and Alan Wake 2. Definitely recommend and it may even warrant a second play through for me on Nightmare difficulty to snag those extra manuscript pages.
