This is a great recap! Honestly it makes me realize I may not have completely understood everything that happened in the fiest game

[MPerfect]

Crazy. I played the first as an 18 year old kid. I’m playing the second 14 years later as a 32 year old man.

Time flies kids. Enjoy it while you got it.

Beat these games years ago but forgot just about everyone except for the epic concert zombie battle scene. Thanks for the recap!

Watching this because I want to play Alan Wake II without playing anything before it

The game is fantastic and Remedy are easily one of my favorite game development teams around right now. Their games are just always so unique and fun with super intriguing settings and stories. Control was honestly one of the best games I've played in a long time.

Excellent concise recap, hit everything in 12 minutes!

This was a great, put together video with an excellent gentleman at the helm. I replayed the remake and Control again, so this is the perfect video for full clarity 👍🏻

Thanks for this. I just couldn't get myself to go back through the first game to understand the story to this point. The controls and pacing and graphics just hurt my brain trying to replay. Even if it does have a great narrative.

Thank you for this. Played the first Alan Wake but never finished it. And I didn't know there was more beyond it. Now I'm all caught up.

I played the original Alan Wake and loved it. I did not know there were expansions for it, let alone the quasi-sequel. I played Control, but the game got too difficult for me, so I didn't finish it. I love the idea that the games share a universe. Now I feel like I'm ready to play AW2 without having to replay the original. Thank you!

Watched a 12min recap and I still couldn't tell you what this game is about.

[galvendorondo]

The FBC is the most interesting thing about this entire universe. I hope we get more games relating to those guys. Going into AW2 tomorrow.

[SWVNGGVNG]

The only game I've played was Control, thank you for this. I'm getting Alan Wake 2 tonight.

My head hurt after this. Boy this was twist and turns

[crawdaddyy]

Alan Wake 2 is amazing. It is true survival horror. It’s a lot like Silent Hill in the sense that you constantly feel unsettled and weirded out by the atmosphere and enemies… I was so surprised how scary it was because I kinda remember the original not being THAT scary. I also remember some goofy parts in the first one that made it seem like the game didn’t want to fully commit to horror survival. But this game changes that completely. The story is also really in depth and will spin your head trying to make sense of it all. I’m not even that far into it but it’s already one of my top 2 or 3 games of the year.

Alan Wake is part of the "Control" world.. which makes AW all the more interesting

[chaseb]

Years later after watching Twin Peaks I love the references and homages. The whole “you’ll be in the dark place but an evil doppelgänger will live your life while you’re there” I thought was an especially cool narrative concept I’m glad they used.

[Cretaker]

Really liked the fact that the events in the second game are also taking place _13 years later_

[XxbtexX]

I played Alan Wake and American Nightmare soooo long ago that I really needed this recap lol. Unfortunately I never did do the Control DLC.

[PolygonalThoughts]

Man it's been a long time since I played the original and even though I loved it I forgot the finer points so this helps getting into the second one.
