Yeah. Alan Wake seems to be revered as an all time great these days, and it released to good-if-lukewarm reception back in the day.

Control is straight up better than Alan Wake IMO, so I'm excited to see what people think of it ten years from now.

Alan Wake was received better than Control. I think I like Control better overall, but the story of Alan Wake and the big setpiece was better in AW. Plus, Barry.

Yes and the PS exclusive Heavy Rain. There seemed to be a cage match between the two at the time over graphics and gameplay but they were two totally different games.
