Replaying FF7 Remake. Beat it about 2 years ago but want to play it again before Rebirth comes out. Might also try hard mode this time.
My GF and I are also playing Sackboys big adventure whenever we both have some spare time. I'm really enjoying it and playing with her makes the game 10x better. Strongly recommend as a couch co-op game.
I tried playing Alan Wane remastered recently but couldn't get into it. I felt like the story and gameplay didn't mix well together. Got it for free on EGS though so I'm glad it cost me nothing to try it out at least!
I just finished Alan Wake Remastered a couple weeks ago. I played it back when it released too, but it didn't leave a huge impression at the time. My interest revived after Control, which I loved.
I enjoyed Remastered, even completed the DLCs, but I definitely had to push myself through at a lot of parts. The game spends too much time in the forest at nighttime, so the environment feels homogenous very quickly. And I really disliked the enemy's compulsion to run off screen in different directions and attack you from where you can't see them. Combat encounters almost always involved running to a corner somewhere and swinging the flashlight just to keep my bearings. Admittedly, the game offers a much greater quantity of tools like flashbangs and flares than I allowed myself to use, but I got irritated from the loop very quickly.
Still, it's over a decade old and there was a lot otherwise to like. Plus Control was great and Alan Wake 2 is supposed to be top-tier, so I'm glad I refreshed myself on the first one.
