Excited to see how it goes and a little disappointed they moved away from the shooty/throw stuff Jesse gameplay. She does appear to feature in the trailer towards the end so maybe there's more to it. Either way, it'll be cool to see how Remedy tackle melee combat.

Yeah this is my takeaway.

I'm super excited to be back in that world but I also really enjoyed the flying/shooting/throwing thing, I hope this isn't just another (what I understand to be) souls like melee thing.

Hopefully has the same level of graphics as Alan Wake 2.

I feel like the original game was an epic games freebie or something? but really suprised me how good it was

Yeah it's been free on Epic and GOG in the past. Probably on Amazon Prime too.

Installing Control right now. I never finished it. Time to give it a fresh whirl, will add the DLC too. I've not experienced it on my OLED yet.

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed with that gameplay. I really enjoyed the weapon/powers gameplay in Control, was really satisfying.

This looks unfortunately like they've turned it into a lame souls-like with the usual tired tropes of comically oversized weightless weapons and cack animations. Sadface.

Where is weapon/service?

Wasn't really feeling it last night when this cropped up on state of play, seeing the game outside of quick trailer bits I think that combat looks like it lacks a bit of oomph/impact.

Really enjoyed the first game so looking forward to getting this.

If its melee focused then I'm out.

this was one of those games most people played half way i think for the first one. I like look for trailer so hope for best.

Me too unfortunately. I thought the first game was epic story-telling and I'm sure this sequel will follow suit but endless melee in a sci-fi world? Come on eh.
