Everyone is entitled to an opinion

Control is definately one of the video games of all time.

Remedy are incredibly underrated. Alan Wake was amazing, and so was Control, so its not surprise that this is great too.

I did not like Alan Wake 1, but I got it for the PS+ freebie and I will play through it. 2 looks really well done, and the AW DLC in Control was really awesome and got me curious. The SCP stuff is awesome.

iirc there's like a half hour interactive recap of the first you can "play" that'll get you up to speed if you don't have time/want to play the first.

I'm am SO happy games have started doing this. I'm still going to play the original first, if I can, but this is fantastic even for people who already have. They may have forgotten a crucial thing!

What's the gameplay actually like?

I enjoy Control and Quantum Break for the power fantasy as much as the world, but poor Alan is getting left in the Wake.

I'm not super far into it but it's similar to the re2 remake and it leans into survival horror more. there are elements taken from the first like light still plays an important part but the gameplay is more fun and tense this time around imo

So far in the game the only Control things are just references and characters.

Unless something later in the story pops up it's mostly Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme stuff.

Even AWE so far doesn't get brought up.
