I really hope this will be a lesson to other developers that signing up for Epic money to be an Epic exclusive means you exclude a huge chunk of the PC market.
Sorry Alan Wake 2. I won't download Epic to play you. I want to play you, but that's asking too much.
I hope you stop being exclusive someday. But by the time that happens, I'll have probably forgotten about you. If you're lucky, I might remember and pick you up on sale.
Haven't played Alan Wake 2 yet, is it good? I remember the original one fairly fondly (it played really well on my underpowered laptop and thought the story was decent).
Yes Alan Wake 2 is very good. It's very unique and oozes with style. I really like the track Remedy is on lately, first with Control and now with Alan Wake 2, whereas their earlier games did not grab me.
My wife is the Alan Wake fan. I never really saw much of the first one but when 2 was released I sat and watched her play it on PS5 and it was awesome. As just a watcher I was blown away and could watch her play it again. It's a very well designed game imo.
Alan Wake 2 was my personal GotY last year (and yes, I also played BG3). It's both great as a video game, but also doing something very different from other AAA games with a very unique artistic POV, which I admire. It's also dramatically enhanced by having played AW1 and Control, as the Remedy Connected Universe is doing a sort of Marvel thing. Hell, it even pseudo-ties into Max Payne and Quantum Break.
I definitely recommend it, not least for that one specific moment which I can't spoil. Also the soundtrack is an absolute banger, I still listen to Poe - This Road frequently.
