Maybe not every. But at least for the next month there will be quite a bit of it lmao. With me buying a month subscription I want to make the most of it.

One of the many reasons I dislike subscriptions for MMOs, I now feel an obligation to play. RuneScape is super lucky it won me over

The first Alan Wake is a step into the pool for horror I feel like because I never really feel like it’s trying too hard to be scary. Like, any time an enemy shows up you get slow motion and the camera pans over to them. It feels like it’s trying to play scare you more with the stress of resource management rather than scare you shitless. Then again. I have some friends who are absolutely terrified of resource management in horror games

If you want to get into it I think Control is the “getting on point” so to speak. I think it throwing words at you is part of the idea of stepping into this world that’s kind of wack.

The only game I think that’s playable before it is Alan Wake, and the game more makes subtle little nods to Alan Wake until the Alan Wake DLC.

Alan Wake 2 though makes the ties between Control and Alan Wake a lot more obvious. I’d argue you don’t really need to play Control though, just know the FBC is a group that deals with Paranatural events

I think quite a lot of it is in reference to the first Alan Wake game. Namely a page makes mention of Alan collecting Coffee Thermoses. The Thermoses were a completely optional collectable from the first game. Irc there were about 100 in the game you could find. it makes me wonder though how much of Alan Wake 2 was cemented by this point in time

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I think Innocently has been the only way I’m playing. I always just end up wandering around and messing with things while listening to the soundtrack. It’s honestly become a “cozy” game for me. If it wasn’t for the price being so steep I might have just bought a year of the Membership too
