Alan Wake 2 Might Suffer from the Same Dissociative Problem as the MCU

Alan Wake was incredibly simple on paper in its original installment about a writer whose work manifested itself as horrors he had to navigate. Remedy then put its unabashed love for cinema at the helm in structuring Alan Wake’s narrative like a thriller series on television, and the parallels that Alan Wake 2 will now have with modern series developments may be made even more evident. It was unsurprising to learn that Alan Wake 2 would contain abundant live-action segments, but the prevalence that Remedy’s Control seems to have in the game could be both a blessing and a curse.
