With Control Resonant we're seeing a ton of theories, but it bugs me how many try to attribute the events to Alan Wake. I think it really takes away from the universe if we try to say that Wake wrote every character and plot line into existence (even though that isn't how his writing works to start with). I think it's better to think of Wake's story as an important, mostly independent one that occasionally overlaps with Control. Trying to claim that he wrote the FBC, the Oldest House, Jesse and Dylan, or anything else into existence without an actual reason makes the universe feel smaller and less interesting.

Anyway, just wanted to post my opinion. Resonant theories are way more interesting when we aren't trying to use Alan Wake as an explanation for everything.

I had to use the accessibility settings to beat the game. I’m in my 40s and it was just…hard. My gaming time is precious and my reflexes ain’t what they used to be. I wish I had more time to play around and tweak my builds but I just don’t. So I took the easy way out because I wanted to finish playing the game.

With that being said, I really appreciate the fact that Remedy allows me to tweak each setting instead of just choosing easy, medium, or hard. Being able to slightly increase my damage resistance; or being able to incrementally add time to the power core charges. I was able to still feel challenged while also getting that sense of accomplishment.

I never played horror games except few resident evil ones, never enjoyed horror games but alan look 2 very intriguing,

so i had to play, granted i didnt enjoy the supernatural alan wake parts of the game that much, but the starting fbi parts of the game are some of the best i have ever played, im shocked no one has made a straight forward truce detective type of game is this style i would play the hell out of it,

same with control resonant, i dont like hack and slash games, open world collect collectibles build character busy work games at all, but i tired control resonant, install some mods made some tweaks, and skipping camera and shutting down experiments quests , dont wanna waste time with that, but theres something about remedy world design or something or the astehtic of it , im really enjoying it so much as a guy who hates hack and slash open world games,

they just do things differently like rockstar games and naughty dog, or even the hellblade games, it pulls you in, i really hope remedy make some real world setting games or something thats the genres i prefer i think they would be extremely good at it,

I’m sure it’s been said before on here and pretty recently.

As someone who’s fairly new to Remedy games (I got my first one in 2020, it was Control) I am so impressed and thrilled with Resonant. I had to wait a bit to get it but I’ve been playing the hell out of it these last few days.

I played control and fell in LOVE. Quickly played Alan Wake and of course got the sequel when it came out. As someone who loves big open world games, and loves Remedy, Resonant is like the best of both worlds for me.

Just wanna say I hope this game does really well for them because they deserve it. To make an open world game that feels new and not just like all the others with a new skin is so refreshing.

I’m so excited for the Max Payne remakes, and whatever else may come after!

It was an experience, to say the least.
