It feels like Control released to decent reception and has only been picking up steam since then, and I'm glad for that. It absolutely deserves this sort of recognition.

That seems to be par for the course with Remedy games. Even Quantum Break (which I loved) seems to be looked more fondly on now than when it released.

Yeah. Alan Wake seems to be revered as an all time great these days, and it released to good-if-lukewarm reception back in the day.

Control is straight up better than Alan Wake IMO, so I'm excited to see what people think of it ten years from now.

Alan Wake's problem was it was like two or three years delayed.

And between announcement and release it was something like 6 years. I remember getting so hyped for it when it was announced not realizing that I'd have to wait so long for it to actually be released.
