NoobFeed editor says- AWE is an average expansion. It provides more Control, which is great, but it’ll only appeal to diehard fans of the game.
Sam Lake has confirmed that although they were happy with how Control: AWE went, Alan Wake 2 DLC will not have the same sort of direction.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Previously, I thought The Foundation was a worthwhile, if slightly lacking, expansion compared to Remedy's Alan Wake episodes. Leave it to Alan Wake's "reunion tour" to find that same level of excitement with Control: AWE. True, the final boss fight did tarnish some of my enthusiasm; however, this expansion succeeds so well by honoring both properties without one overwhelming the other. It's a successful melding of psychological & paranormal action elements into one great expansion. As Alan Wake alluded to over a decade ago, I'm excited to chart the depths of this ocean."
COG writes: Control: AWE takes concepts from the previous chapters of the story and heightens them in every way. This is the best written chapter of Control yet
"Those entering this DLC expecting Alan Wake’s great return should not." - from article
