Remedy are going to make this soon, Hope it's as good as the first.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere in that.

I enjoyed the first but never got around to completing it.
Has it aged well or is it a no go now?

I finished it around 5 yes ago, completed the dlc too. In my opinion it still holds up well.

Awesome, this has been a long time coming.

Looking forward to this.

Remember waiting forever for the first and then never actually getting it when it did release.

I remember the first was supposed to be a lot more than it was? I've never played it but from what I've seen it seems rather different.

Supposed to be some huge map with interesting dynamic weather, and "you're gonna need a quad core"

I completed the first back in 2014 Steam's telling me, but had to force myself to finish it, the story and setting is great but the combat gets boring quickly, to the game's credit the rest of it is all great and licensed music really adds good atmosphere, it's still a good game overall.

I'm looking forward to Alan Wake 2, hopefully will incorporate more exploration and puzzles with less combat, or at least quicker combat, some if just holds up the story as padding in AW1.

Yup the game which actually released and the game which was talked of in development are very different - kind of like CP2077.

I was looking forward to it for a long time then never bought it.

Quite liked the first one but could not be bothered with all the DLC's. Might check this out.

Awesome! I pretty much completed the first in a weekend, really enjoyed it.

And there should be some tie in to Control as well. Good stuff, Remedy.

Yeah I enjoyed the Alan Wake crossover in Control

Original game took so long to make it went from being PC exclusive & GFWL to include the Xbox360 so was downsized technically to fit in on that console hardware (MS fully funded it to the tune of $40M over 5 years but allowed Remedy to port to Steam & PC later on). Here is a PC build early prototype video showing way more technical ambition but this all went when MS decided on an initial xbox360 only release strategy!

Why not, liked the story from the first even if game mechanics were a bit samey.
