      Oh, I didn't realize until I saw this comment that you wrote for Wide Awake and Night Springs as well!
      This project really enhanced my experience with the game. Finishing a chapter and reflecting on what just happened is such a different experience when you can listen to the song, read the lyrics and the words you're absorbing are actually about what you're trying to process.
      Listening to Superhero really made me connect more to Saga and what was going through her mind. The dialogue in the game made me understand what was troubling her. But the song made me actually feel what she was feeling and that made the experience way more emotional and almost brought me to tears.

    It continues to blow my mind the amount of passion being put into this game. It literally leaves me speechless. Every time I’ve watched Sam or any of developers talk about this project you can see the amount of love they have for it. I came to Remedy games late and was introduced to them via Control but they’ve since skyrocketed to be my favorite developer simply because of the love they have for their projects. I can’t wait for the future and see what else Remedy has in store for us.

Im so happy Sam took pride in his work and the team did their absolute best. Not just a standard sequel, but a completely new ground setter. Right after AW2, its such a long stretch to find another game in its caliber for survival horror genre, we have no other choic but to "survive" until we see a third one.

    So how does Poe's "This Road" figure in to this? Since it's used differently from the 7 Chapter Songs, and it seems to be exclusive to Alan's chapters. I noticed it's not on the Chapter Songs album, but it's also not on any release yet. I really like it, and it's been stuck in my head since I first heard it. Looping forever...

    It's very rare that a game or any piece of media gets such a giant, giant leap for a sequel. Y'all really went all guns ablaze with Alan Wake 2.

    I was inspired to come watch this video after hearing a few of the tracks on my first playthrough of the game. What a fantastic idea to do this collaboration, it really elevates the experience and finishing a chapter to hear one of the tracks is a real highlight. Well done everyone, I'm absolutely loving the game 🤩

    My Alan Wake 2 experience was incredible; unparalleled. No film or book has ever hit me as hard as this game. By chance, I started playing this game just after I lost the love of my life and the greatest job I ever had because of my own monstrosity, my alcoholism. The analogy was so clear, but the pacing was so ingenious that even though I felt it early on, I didn’t explicitly comprehend it until close to the end. I had nothing to do with my life but drink myself into unconsciousness from the moment I woke, and in every vague moment of consciousness I had, I was playing this game. Captivated by something deep within it, calling me forward. Such a cosmic mystery, yet making absolutely perfect sense at the same time.
    Then, at the end: it’s You who has the realization, and it is ONLY YOU, who must make the sacrifice.
    Kill what you are, to become who you could be.
    I was completely floored. Stunned into absolute silence, barely understanding what I had just lived through. And then…
    “Heroes and Villains” by Poets of the Fall began to play. When I fully heard and understood the words, I couldn’t take it anymore. I collapsed onto my floor, sobbing and begging for forgiveness, because “Who will pay the price, the Lost or the Damned?”
    Which am I? Which was she? Does it matter? I made the mistake, and it was my sweet, innocent, eternally beautiful and loving woman who paid the price. 12 of the best years of her life, wasted. Because she believed in me, but I was weak. There is nothing, no way to redeem myself except to make the ultimate sacrifice. Lord in heaven, look down on me in mercy: grant me a bullet of light, because there is no other way to go on.

    I love that Remedy has so many behind the scenes videos, and it wasnt just there for false hype; the game lives up to the words they say in the videos. That makes you realize they made all these videos to document something they knew they were proud of and the gane was going to be great.

    One day, i hope, Remedy takes all these seasoned ingredients and creates a swan song for a silver haired Max. One last glorious, monolouging note of Payne.

    Remedy has always been insanely great at what they do, but with Alan Wane 2 they stepped outside the boundary’s of how good a game can be, everything about this game is absolutely phenomenal.
    Remedy has shot up to one of my favorite studios, and Sam Lake is easily my favorite writer / director along with Cory Barlog.
    You can tell he’s extremely passionate about the work he makes, and cares.
    I’m extremely excited for the upcoming DLC’s for Alan Wake (that Jesse/control snippet gave me literal goosebumps), and for Control 2.

    How can you not love Sam? ❤‍🔥
    Alan Wake 2 is a distressing mental labyrinth, distorted and sick, capable of imprisoning you in its darkest corners if you leave it free. But ART is your guide/salvation and never abandons you. The music, the acting, the photography, the writing and the direction lull you gently and lovingly for the entire duration of your dark Dante's wanderings. It helps you break through the blanket of darkness that separates you from a cathartic warmth, a light that pulsates with peace and holds out its hand to you at the end of the tunnel. Thank you SAM and thank you REMEDY for all the love and courage you put in every time to overcome your limits and give us a gaming experience that transcends "the game" itself. This for me is called MAGIC.🖤

    Can we just appreciate the creative genius that is Sam Lake. This man has been entertaining us with their games since 1996 with Death Rally. Later in 2001 with the amazing Max Payne franchise and from 2016 and on with Quantum Break, Control and Alan Wake!
