In a month, I will have had Alan Wake in my Steam library for a decade without having finished it yet.

Alan Wake (2013) was the first game I bought on Steam back in July of 2013 and I enjoyed it, but I never got around to completing it.

In a months time it will have been a year since I started that game and I still plan to finish it. It is starting to feel a bit dated and I know there is a remaster, but I feel compelled to finish the original copy I've been sitting on for the last decade.

I believe it was the first digital game I bought and at the time it was a weird concept to buy a game I couldn't give away or sell.

After loving the shit out of Control, I have to go back and play this sometime. I always knew about it but never seriously looked at playing it.
Speaking of, I might replay Control on the PS5. It was pushing the limits of the PS4 Pro
- That was my situation as well, wanting to play AW before playing the Control DLC but man the game is a slug... It was when it released so it feels even worse now...

I need to replay this again. I loved Alan Wake when I played it back in the day with its Twin Peaks atmosphere, and I liked coming across the random videos that were a homage to The Twilight Zone.

Heh. Just checked my account. Alan Wake was added to it in May of 2013. I haven't played it yet... I think it was part of a humble bundle or something.
- I got it on sale also around that time and never started it cause I can‘t play horror games but got it anyway lol

Play it with headphones in a dark room for the full experience. I had to take breaks because it freaked me out so much. The ambience from the sound and visuals is pitch perfect.

Bought it in a bundle in 2015-16 and I only recently got a computer than can run it, and I have forgot about it entierly. Will give it a shot now, thanks!

Alan Wake and Control are two of my favourite games of all time. I can't wait until they come out with the sequel to either. I just love Remedy so much.
I don't really have much to contribute here except that I'm glad my favourite studio is getting some attention.
- They are the only games I am okay with any form of live action video, they deliver such a twilight zone vibe that it fits their style.

I didn't really love Control, is there much point in me looking into Alan Wake?

The second digital game I bought was for the Xbox 360, State of Decay.
