MODERATORS
Control was amazing, game of the year for me personally. Alan Wake 1 was already a bit dated/bland gameplay-wise when it came out and the remaster didn't do it any particular favours. The story is great however, so at the very least I'd watch a comprehensive recap/analysis on the story.
Control is its own thing entirely and isn't required to fully understand Alan Wake 2, but having played it and its DLCs beforehand it definitely adds to the lore and gives insight to the "bigger picture".
Oh yeah, I know Control was very well liked in general!
I honestly didn't bother with any of Control's DLCs, since I didn't appreciate the combat at all and found the amount of backtracking obtrusive.
I played the DLCs after finishing the main game and (even as a big Wake fan) found them a bit unnecessary. They would've worked better if played during the same playthrough, not afterwards imho.
Was Control being part of the Alan Wake Universe supposed to be a twist or was that already advertised when it released? If it was a twist, I wish I had experienced that first hand.
Control's second DLC "AWE" (2020) had already connected the worlds of Alan Wake and Control, but sorry if I spoiled that for you.
I see. No, you're fine, it was spoiled for me long before today. I was just trying to express how cool that part of the story was.
