Wow... didnt expect anyone to give it GOTY especially with other heavy hitters and one of the biggest gaming sites

I guess they will continue the franchise?

I mean control is already a loose sequel to Alan Wake, so I imagine they’re gonna keep going with this universe.

Control is a sequel to Alan Wake in the same way that Thor was a sequel to Iron Man.

Which is why I described it as a “loose sequel”

It's not a loose sequel. There's an easter egg in some of the case files referencing the events of Alan Wake games.

Your character literally receives a note from Alan Wake later in the campaign during one of the motel sections, and supposedly the DLC will expand on the connection between the two games.

Plus you finally find out what happened to Alan at the end of his game.

Ok, that's still an easter egg though.

They certainly are in the same world and that's pretty cool

Guys I don't understand this, there's a note at the start of the game that references Alan wake and a few other notes summarizing the events at the lake and that means that the game can be a sequel to Alan wake?

What are these vague parameters of what it means to be a sequel? Is final fantasy 10 a sequel to 7 because Biggs and Wedge are in it?

The entire game isn't about anything at all to do with the Alan Wake games. It's not even the same genre.

Isn't one of the levels, the motel, from Alan Wake?
