I just finished Alan Wake 2 and the 3 episodes of the DLCs. Alan Wake 2 is a literal masterpiece in my opinion, the gameplay was similar to its first game but refined, the story dark, mood, mysterious and weird. I also loved the references to the other games. Like Ahti. The ending of Alan Wake 2 made me wonder and sad (I won’t mention it to avoid spoilers).
The 3 DLCs made me immensely hyped up though - they were weird and like a love-letters to their fan-base of all three games. Spoiler tagged, don’t open if you have not played the DLCs (you have been warned);
spoiler
In the second episode you play as Jesse Faden and try to find your brother, this is basically a teaser for its sequel which was confirmed by the developers. The ending twist of this episode! I can’t wait for the sequel. The third episode its a love letter and possible teaser to Quantum Break. I genuinely hope, they do make a sequel of that one too.
I was not certain how much, I could write without spoilers therefore it might be a little underwhelming or not much.
I assume they’re planning a second DLC for Alan Wake and I will get that one as well. In the meantime, I will take a little break and then replay Quantum Break and Control.

Perhaps someday it’ll come to Steam so I can enjoy it. :/

Oh man, wanted to play AW2 someday. I didn’t know it was only on Epic. Fuck those guys.

Yea it’s just dumb and a waste of effort imo (Epic should focus on actually providing a functional store first, not second)
Supposedly Control 2 at they very least should be on Steam…

Alan Wake 2 was published by and likely would not exist without Epic. It is unlikely it will come to steam

Epic would make more money selling it on Steam :/

Is Control on steam? I have the GoG version. But that game is “multiplatform” then Alan Wake very well could be too
