Been waiting for this game forever. It is absolutely incredible. Be sure to play Control after playing Alan Wake 1. It is not necessarily needed, but it does have characters, references and easter eggs from it that you wouldn't understand or pick up on otherwise. I haven't beaten the game yet but have already logged hours on hours and it just gets better and better. The addition of adding the actual real life actors in this one is epic! The cut scenes are like watching a movie or TV show. Spot on cast. At first I was skeptical about switching between Saga Anderson and Alan Wake but the way it is integrated is so seamless. It turns out that I do indeed welcome this addition to the game play. True Alan Wake/Control fans, or fans of supernatural, horror, puzzle solving, plot twisting, etc...will enjoy this game thoroughly. It's a breath of fresh air. Look forward to seeing where it leads as I continue to progress through the story!
