Better than the base game by virtue of having a big baddie that you can't just shoot.

I enjoyed Alan Wake back in the day, and am a bit disappointed in how little we get from him here. It feels more Wake adjacent, which I understand because this is Control after all, and it's setting up Alan Wake 2, or possibly even a combo sequel for both games. But that kinda thing is considered a risk now, and we know the big companies don't really do those anymore.

It's fine. An ok wee epilogue.
