Comment on Day 762 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoNot sure how much they had already planned when the base game is made, but there’s a Control DLC linking it to Alan Wake 2, so they must have some ideas. I even played that DLC before playing Alan Wake, and that is what actually interested me in the game. As someone who runs away from all horror games I wasn’t planning to play Alan Wake before playing that DLC.

The first Alan Wake is a step into the pool for horror I feel like because I never really feel like it’s trying too hard to be scary. Like, any time an enemy shows up you get slow motion and the camera pans over to them. It feels like it’s trying to play scare you more with the stress of resource management rather than scare you shitless. Then again. I have some friends who are absolutely terrified of resource management in horror games

That’s me! It’s one thing if you have enough bullets to shoot anything that moves, but if you can’t even fight back properly, that’s a completely another level of horror.
