    That’s only the case for Alan Wake II. Control Resonant is self-published and available day one on Steam.

      Not being able to play Alan Wake 2 makes me not want to play any more games in the series until I can, if ever.

        Is Alan Wake 2 officially part of the Control game series? I thought they just shared the same world.

        I bet there are Easter eggs, but I haven’t seen anything indicating that you need to play AW before Resonance

          There was a whole DLC in control tying them together so it seems like it with my current knowledge

        Well one could download the games for free… It’s not my style for modern PC games, but its not like you aren’t able to play. ;-) Also maybe this will be an option in the future when emulation is good enough.

        You’re not missing much anyway. AW2 starts strong and then becomes an unbelievable slog halfway through. I can forgive boring gameplay if there’s an interesting story to tell but AW2 has neither.

        Throw on top that they ditched Jesse as the main character in control 2 and they’ve killed nearly all of my interest in this franchise/universe
