I started Control a couple of days ago and so far it’s a blast, so I’ll be playing that. I didn’t expect to like it so much out of the gate, also didn’t know it has such big SCP vibes. I decided to give it a go after the sequel’s trailer on TGA.
I’ll also be replaying Portal. I would’ve started Portal 2 which I haven’t played outside multiplayer, but I’m using it to learn Gyro + Flick Stick so I can play shooters on my PS5 since almost no multiplayer shooter supports Linux and I got the itch to play one again lol.
I didn’t even know the Alan Wake games were made by Remedy when I first opened Control lol, I only found out about that because there’s an ad for Alan Wake 2 on Control’s title screen, but after I started the game I immediately become interested in trying the Alan Wake series too.
I played Alan Wake 1 recently, because I really liked Control and Alan Wake 2 had just come out. I enjoyed it! The actual gameplay wasn’t my favorite, it was rather repetitive, for sure, and I wasn’t super happy with the ending, but still, I think it’s quite worth playing! I’m looking forward to playing Alan Wake 2 (and thinking it might even retroactively improve the ending of the first game, I wouldn’t be surprised!)
Is Control actually good? I kinda assumed from all of the Nvidia marketing and pushing it it was a ray tracing tech demo/gpu sales vehicle with gameplay tacked on as an afterthought.
I kinda thought the same thing for the longest time, because I kept seeing it used for benchmarking and never talked in terms of quality or story, but it’s really, really good so far in what I played.

Oh yeah the SCP setting was a major appeal for me in Control. I still havent gotten around to play it XD
I just started that last week after sitting on it since release day. Good vibes, makes me actually interested in trying out the Allen Wake games.
