VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "In retrospect it’s not hard to see why some people were insistently raving about this game at the end of a year as star-packed as 2023, because even among that pack it stands out as, if perhaps not the best, then certainly the boldest. Its gameplay is what it is - sometimes great, sometimes a bit underwhelming compared to everything else - but its writing and atmosphere (and soundtrack) are simply exceptional, and it’s certainly a game that has to be experienced by any longtime fans of storytelling in games."
All playable from October 7.
Cool, Alan Wake2 I still need to try out the first one. GOAT Simulator didn’t know they even made more after the first one, I’ll give it a go for a few minutes I guess. Not sure what Cocoon is, will have to look it up. Regardless they all will be added to my library.
You mean you missed GOAT 2 after the massive success of GOAT 1 and it’s DLC stories 😱
Just jump into GOAT 3 and it’ll make sense (or not, up to you as a goat).
Alan Wake 2 and Cocoon were on my list of games to play so this month is awesome for me.
Pretty good month. I never played a goat simulator game. I would try it if I didn’t always have a massive backlog of games I really want to play. Maybe someday.
ScribbleCat said: Media is certainly no stranger to connecting all their properties together. Comic books have been doing this for generations, and TV is also known for special crossover episodes, which confirm the notion that they take place in the same fictional world. Video games, which can be barely called a new medium at this point, also have some interesting overlaps with connecting different games. For example, Valve’s Portal and Half-Life show how subtle hints can give players more theories to chew on. Old classics like DOOM and Wolfenstein also share similarities. But my favorite connection between games is the Remedy Connected Universe. While only a connection between Alan Wake and Control have been confirmed, there is SO much more to explore with Remedy’s crazy take on this old formula. And, according to Sam Lake, this is only the beginning.
They really should release the full Quantum Break experience on the PS5. Sure, it's a middle-of-the-road third-person shooter and a perfect example of self-indulgence, but why not? It was fun in short burst and it completes the Remedy set until Max Payne 1+2 Remakes get released later on.
Do it, Microsawft. Don't be cowards.
Remedy says there's always a big challenge trying to match creative ambition with realistic budgets, and how many units you can sell.
I wish they had released a Steam version on launch. I feel that should have been part of their focus right away from announcing the game.
Would have made up alot of ground had they have released a physical version at the same time as the digital release.
I think thats where it bit them in the bum to be honest.
Weren't they whining over not breaking even a few weeks ago? No all-of-a-sudden they're talking about overspending on the budget?
Yeah a game without Alan Wake….for the most part
Coincidentally, I finished my play through and got the platinum trophy last night in Wake 2. Personally, I thought it was a fantastic game. Spooky at times, made me jump a bunch of times, intriguing story and such a weird but fun sense of humour. I loved it, among my favourite games I have played this year.
All the people who passed on this masterpiece are lost.
This is what I am playing on my PS5 right now. Great game but I still prefer RE series.
Legendary game, if not buldurs gate 3 this would have won game of the year
