@@LetYahArisee: "Great story but very boring" Dude comes to say this with straight face literally after Alan Wake 2 has just won Best Narrative & Best Game Direction & Best Art Direction awards, that is, the game has been recognized to have the best & the most innovative storytelling and game design of 2023 by the global game industry. I wish I had your self-esteem. For me, in horror games, the story > the action. I'm glad one of the biggest issues of Alan Wake part 1 was fixed in part 2: too much action. Action also effectively breaks the mood of psychological horror. You are not agonized when shooting around. The less is more. Also, Remedy intentionally chose survival horror instead of horror/action due to its slower pace, to be able to do their storytelling the way they wanted. However, Control is not horror but scifi/action and can not wait for part 2 (Alan Wake 2 DLC will probably be setting up Control 2 like Control AWE DLC set up Alan Wake 2). At least I doubt they'll switch to survival scifi. Too much survival or too much action is boring.

Just a big smile for Sam Lake's night. A super cool musical number, being fairly recognizes for his work, and getting the trophy from an actual industry legend (as opposed to a random actor). TGA did right by him!
Alan wake 2 is 100% the best direction game and million out of 100 the best story telling in a video game in 2023.. sam lake really destroyed the competition with his writing. A masterpiece for sure.
Alan Wake 2 deserved all it’s awards. Sam Lake and Remedy are such wonderful creators and this game is very special. So glad to see them get acknowledged.
Im only just playing through alan wake 2 now and its one of the best games Ive played in a long time, the narative and art direction are insane, the voice actors did outstanding and now I want alan wake 3 and or a film using the same cast
I haven’t played Alan Wake 2, but I loved the first one and currently blasting through Control. These guys deserve the recognition. You can tell their games have so much raw passion in them. I can’t wait to dive in when I get the chance
Just finished the game, so many jaw dropping moments, both technically and narratively. Well deserved awards, especially this one, thank you guys for making this!
Sam Lake is a bloody genius. We hear a lot about Kojima (rightfully : the man is no different), yet Sam deserves at least as much credit for all the amazing and groundbreaking work he's been offering us for decades, all of which culminated in Alan Wake II. Can't wait to see what's coming next from Remedy.

There is no writer like Sam Like in the gaming world. Better in other ways sure but Sam's style is just amazing and even addictive when you get into it.
Alan Wake 2 is certainly flawed. I feel it had a bit of padding, and Saga Anderson’s character was a bit underwhelming in its execution. But, that’s the experimentation that the game industry needs, now more than ever. Maybe it doesn’t always work, but it’s a damn passionate game with more soul than I thought could come from this bigger budget game industry. Every Remedian should get the respect they deserve for this crazy piece.
Sam lake looks like he's about to cry. This man deserves all the love. Alan Wake 2 is truly a masterpiece!

Glad it won 3 awards.
The only way I could describe this game is an artistic masterpiece, refined in every detail.

Take your time with Control, and don’t forget the DLCs, especially AWE.
You’ll be rewarded once you get to AW2, it’s not going anywhere.

Control is not as good as AW2. AW2 reminds me of evil within mixed with sherlock holmes games.
