Hey everyone. Hope all of your weekends have been refreshing and relaxing. This week I’ve been at it with some Stronghold Crusader remastered and Balatro. Hope you all have a good week!

I finally started Alan Wake 2 and wow is the style and presentation of it impressive. I’m only a couple of hours in, and in some ways it feels quite retro (although that seems like it’s kind of the point too), but it’s really effective - it’s style, it’s atmosphere, even it’s jump scares etc. The character writing so far is really solid too. Good TV level solid rather than just video game good. I’m really looking forward to playing more.
I was really impressed with how good of a game Alan Wake 2 is given how little of a game Alan Wake 2 is.
I’m really really enjoying it. Somehow it manages to be both a good game and better at being kind of a prestige TV show than most actual prestige TV shows.
I mean it’s so good I’m just wondering how it manages to do that despite there just being so little in the way of gameplay
I played some of the Resident Evil remakes recently (spooky season) and gameplay-wise it basically reminds me of 2, which is the one I liked the most by far anyway. But then you have much richer storytelling, really confident deep worldbuillding, and just an amazing presentation all layered on top. It’s definitely a game and story that’s well honed to my vibes though (meta Stephen King stuff, Twin Peaks, XFiles, folk horror etc)
