It’s still the second one. I’m replaying it because of some stuff they added for post game after an update

Highly recommend it. It might be personal bias but It’s easily made its way into my Top 3 Games of all time.
Definitely. The way Remedy executes the stage moments doesn’t feel too out of place either. I feel like it would be hard to execute that in a horror game in a way that doesn’t take you out of the moment, yet remedy keeps doing it over and over again
Normally I would but the DLC isn’t really in my budget right now. When it is I totally want to go check out the DLCs because I’ve seen a few people praise the new Lake House DLC and I want to play it now
I had this big stupid grin on my face the entire time and I was giggling. Remedy really did an awesome job at calling back to the first one
That’s what I ended up doing for my Alan Wake II post last night because there was just a lot to talk about with the ending. I figured in clients that don’t support Lemmy’s built in spoiler system though the ::: at the end will tell them where the spoilers end
It sucks because i'd love to get my hands on the Alan Wake remaster and Alan Wake II on steam if they put it on there, if only so i can have easier integration with Steam's QOL features. Maybe one day Remedy will pull what they did with the OG Alan Wake when they bought the publishing rights from Microsoft and buy the Publishing rights to Alan Wake II from Epic
That was part of the same issue i had as well, i kept having to put it on hold for a tough boss. I hope your able to see it through to the end this time!
I always listen to the music. With the way remedy is it plays such a vital part in it that i would be caught dead before skipping them. It may be nostalgia bias for the first one but particularly Poet of The Fall's Heroes and Villains was my favorite, RAKEL's Follow You Into The Dark knocked it out of the park too.

Then there was this stage at the end, which was playing a remix of Departure from the first game which i would by lying if i said it didn't make me sad and nostalgic
Then there was a segment in the game that used the same music from the first episode of Alan Wake I, and that to me felt really clever because of the parallels too it. Overall i feel like remedy knocked it out of the park in all departments, and the music especially was no exception.
I would say it is worth playing the first one because it builds off of the ending and a lot of the plot exposition in it. I do think 2 does a decent job of explaining things quickly to newcomers, but if you have the time I’d say playing the first one is a good idea to get the full picture
I’ll have to look into getting a Ubiquiti once my Airport finally bites the dust because there are some QOL features I’d like to have. I’m starting to think that my airport will never die though
Hmmm. Deja-vu indeed ~~thank you. I’m very proud for coming up with that. I was honestly a bit worried people would miss it~~
