    And yet they will. I’m 100% confident that the advise for control 2 will “okay you want to play Control first obviously, but also the control DLCs are important, which includes AWE, so now you’re gonna want to pick up Alan 2, and to really get that you’re gonna want to play the first game and the dlcs including the standalone not included in the remaster and also max payne and the alan 2 dlcs”

    I love remedy games, but they can not stop themselves from interlinking everything. Everything is important, everything from every game.

      AWE is decent DLC.

      It’s nowhere near critical to enjoy Alan Wake. Neither is Control in its entirety.

      And I think playing Alan Wake 2 first and then Control, would be just as cool because unlike other interlinked things, they are separate stories with references in both directions.

      Which games you play or in what order, doesn’t matter.

      I believe their point is that it’s not necessary to play Alan Wake to enjoy Control, or vice versa.
