It’s been on my ‘one of those days’ list for years now, and with Resonance out, they ran a $6 Steam sale for the original which put it in the impulse buy category. Fast forward a week and I’m out of town for work with some hotel time to kill so hooked my Steamdeck up to the TV and gave it a go and wow… I see what the hype is about.

Any non spoiler tips, tricks, or things I should be on the lookout for?

    I only started it a couple of weeks ago and it’s one of the few games I’ve kept going with. Highly recommended it to my daughter who is loving it too.

    I don’t consider what I’m about to say a spoiler, but some people might.

    There is a part of this game that is going to knock your socks off. It raised my bar for how good a section of a game could be. It’s up there with the intro to Ocarina of Time, sneaking into the second building in Into the Radius where things finally started to click but I was still scared shitless, and the lake scene in FFX, carved into my soul.

    Once you’ve gotten to that part, let me know because I just like going back and forth about how incredible it is. If you get through a part of the game and wonder if you’ve gotten there, you haven’t gotten there yet. When you get there, you won’t wonder.

    Damn, I’ve had this game sitting at 0 hours played in my library for a while now. Worth giving it a shot it sounds like?

    I heard it’s a spooky game, but is it spooky in Silent Hill way or Prey 2017 way?

    It’s in my top 5 games of all time. One of very few games I’ve played through multiple times. I love the universe, lore, design, characters, feel and everything else. And it’s still one of the best looking hames ever made IMO, and one of the few games who used RTX almost perfectly.

    Hey, better late than never! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Resonant is just as good if not better.

      How creepy/scary are the AW games? I’m digging Control a lot but it’s definitely stressing me out at times!

    I found the game got more and more fun the further into the game I got, since more abilities started being unlocked that added much more variety to the gameplay.

    I really ended up loving it by the time I finished it.

    Read/watch everything. Maybe after dealing with an object of power, there’ll be a slightly redacted memo about it. There’s inner office politics in other memos.

    The world building is absolutely amazing if you choose to be patient and read everything you can.

      Yeah I’m usually not a lore guy in games but man, this game did it amazingly well.

    This is one of the few games I’ve played where I’m constantly hoping to find new random scraps of paper. One of the most interesting places to explore.

    The game really rewards being aggressive. There’s a reason enemies drop health pickups where they die - keep moving and take advantage of that.
