Ahti?
Ahti is a character introduced in the video game Control and with appearances elsewhere. He's a extremely mysterious figure. Very little is known about him beyond the fact that is a janitor for the Oldest House, headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control.
Highly recommend Control. Truly amazing game with incredible lore, a mindfuck of a story, and some stunningly beautiful/terrifying atmosphere.
Also for those who are considering Alan Wake 2.... Play Control first. Trust me. Especially the Control AWE DLC.
I've got a question. I absolutely hated Alan Wake when it came out. I truly don't understand why anyone would have anything above mediocre to say about it. I got the chance to play the remastered version recently and still hate that game.
The positive press Remedy got for that game was the reason I still haven't played Quantum Break, and why I skipped Control until it was given away for free. Given the rave reviews for Alan Wake, I didn't trust any of it. I'm glad I got to play Control however, because it deserves every single bit of praise it got. It's an amazing game.
So, given that I felt Alan Wake suffered from a terrible storyline, mediocre acting, and bland, boring gameplay that was downright frustrating, but absolutely adored everything about Control, even the AWE DLC, would you recommend Alan Wake 2?
Not who you asked, but here's my take. The gameplay is overall very similar to the original, which is its weakest point - I love the first Alan Wake, but it was not for the gameplay, lol. I will say fighting enemies feels a lot harder in 2, a lot more survival horror, where there were times I simply didn't have the resources and was forced to run, which in my last playthrough of the original never happened except when it was scripted to.
But the acting has greatly improved and feels at least on the level of Control, the plot has far more interesting twists and turns, and Alan Wake 2 contains one of my favorite sequences in gaming. Not even just in recent memory, I mean... Period. And everybody who has played it already has the scene in mind I'm talking about.
That being said, the plot is, of course, built off of Alan Wake 1 primarily, and takes its cues from there, so there is still every possibility you will find the story as bad as the original. I feel differently, but I liked the story of the original, too, so take that into account.
Wait for a sale, maybe, but I think you should at least give it a look because Remedy has been slowly refining this world and their techniques since the original Alan Wake, and if you enjoyed Control it's likely you will be pleasantly surprised.
