New page! Click here to catch up! 

Pretty uneventful weekend for us, just the way we like it. We decided to dip our toes into the Alan Wake-verse and ended up seeing the first game to the end. I'm a big fan of the original Max Payne 1 and 2, but I never played Alan Wake. It was... neat? I think conceptually, under certain readings, I like the game. I like the idea of it, anyways. In execution though... it's messy. The gameplay and dialogue both get extremely repetitive, and I kind of wish it committed even harder to its unreliable narrator in the character of Alan Wake himself. We'll be playing Control next because apparently it's both Very Good and also ties into the Alan Wake story in some way. Gonna boot that game up immediately after this blog post, actually.

See you on Friday!

I get a feeling this is going to become relevant

I smell a ✨️ tragic backstory ✨️

Ooh! Control. Not a bad game, definitely a top 25. Maybe 20.

If you go out the way he did, you guarantee your legendary status. There’s no burning out or fading away. You will always be remembered as the young, vital, sexy rock star you were.

Control is a LOT of fun. Cosmic Horror through government bureaucracy and brutalist architecture. Honestly, it's the sort of game where the actiony shooty bits are almost kind of redundant? Like they're fun, yeah-- but at the same time I honestly would have just as much fun wandering around and reading memos. I never played the Alan Wake games, so the related DLC didn't quite hit as hard as it could? I'm curious to see what y'all think. Also, the game can be pretty unforgiving, especially at first before you have much in the way of powers. This may be gamer blasphemy, but I dare say it might be a good idea to tone the difficulty down, at least for the first mail room boss. Also, I maintain the Weapon of Choice music video is canon to Control. You'll know what I'm talking about once you're through the Ashtray Maze.

I remember finding the gameplay of Alan Wake neat too. Kinda like a mature version of Luigi’s Haunted Mansion

Sorry for the late reply on this, but you might also want to run through Alan Wake's American Nightmare while you're at it. Potentially Quantum Break as well, though it's less tied to things. Control is great though, very weird, very off-putting, very Swede. EDIT: And to talk about this page, I see the king is getting a bit down in the dumps. Time to share his tragic tale?
