Alan Wake: "Hi I'm a cool interesting game!"
Me: "Oh? What's the plot?"
Alan Wake: "Well you play this writer called Alan Wake and he-"
me: "pass"
Control: "Hi I'm a new game where you get psychic powers and shit"
Me: "....?"
Control: "also I may or may not be in the Alan Wake Universe lol"
Me: "...eeeehhhhhh-"
Control: "Also you play a girl"
Me: -hhhhhhhaaaand I'm interested again."
@Nine Control p. good. Feels kinda samey after awhile though.
@Kyoji Yeah I've heard it can be a little dragging on towards the end but I duno I'm genuinely curious asbout the story and the mechanics it lets you play with. Could be cool! I've played worse, less inspiring games and still had a fairly good time with them to be honest. ...

@Nine And at the very least, if you get stuck in the slog, they did patch in game balance tweaks and cheat modes to let you just cheese your way through the rest of the game if you are interested in only the plot.
