I swear at one point Spotify random music let me listen to the band Old Gods of Asgard and it took me about 15 seconds to recognise it was just Poets of the Fall but with a different name, purely for the Alan Wake game.
I've never played any of these games but from what I've picked up from reading a lot online, Control and Alan Wake are set in the same universe, right?
Might actually have to play these games some day, I fucking love Poets of the Fall and they might actually be the gateway for me to play these games XD
They are in the same universe. Definitely give them a go! AW2 also heavily implies Quantum Break is also canon, but bc of IP issues with MS, they can't out and say so.
Yeah, in Control they reference the events of Alan Wake as another anomaly. (And then they did a DLC mission related to it.) So it seems like a shared universe now.
That's correct!
Control is one of my favorite games of the last decade and both Alan Wake games are great. Quite different games though.
If you do play them, I think release order is best, AW1 -> Control -> AW2
I remember playing the first one way back when and their song ‘War’ started playing on a boom box in a barn during a seemingly random fight. Turned it from mundane to absolutely intense. After the fight I just stood there and listened before walking away.

Gameplay footage has been leaked. Apparently it isn't pretty.
