God I wish this game wasn’t in epic jail
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.
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.
