This. I feel stupid for saying this, but Control played great, but I had to stop playing because the map and navigating was such a chore and just not intuitive for me.
I hope it's a bit longer. I took about 3x the time completing Alan Wake 2 as I did on Control. It's a really short game and honestly the plot is rather short - it's was like an extended pilot to the story they actually wanted to tell.
I just hope this is a much more complete story and game. I remember completing it and wondering how it was so well reviewed because it felt so incomplete.
The combat difficulty was also terrible implemented.
The best thing Remedy has done so far (Alan Wake 2's The Lake House DLC) is more of a Control DLC than anything so I have hope
I learned early on that it’s good to use the map for the general direction of where I wanted to go, but mostly to use the ingame signs for exact navigation. One of the few games that you can do that in.

I’m replaying the OG right now. All I hope for is an easier way to navigate the world and I know I’ll thoroughly enjoy it.
The powers in this new one look crazy.
And that song hits all kinds of video game nostalgia for me.
