Picked up Control again. Had a couple people get me interested in Alan Wake 2, and I'd already played through half of Control earlier in the year before I lost interest. I'm more into it now. Not planning on playing the first Alan Wake, but I'm playing the crossover DLC in this right now.

I didn't really care for the first Alan Wake. And I kind of liked Control but wasn't crazy about it.

But man Alan Wake 2 is fantastic.

Also, if you like the concepts in Control, particularly about the objects, you should check out the miniseries The Lost Room which I suspect inspired it a lot.

I finished Control and immediately fired up AW2 and so far I'm exactly with you on both, heh. I didn't know how good AW2 was going to look, right up there with Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077 as some of the best-looking stuff I've had on my PC.

The series is an interesting rec, I haven't seen Peter Krause in anything other than Six Feet Under.
