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?


Pay attention! Remedy is like the Twin Peaks of video game studios so paying attention to the plot as well as reading everything in the appendices and the documents uncover is vital.
Also HIGHLY recommend playing Alan Wake and Alan Wake 2 if you haven’t already. Same studio and a connected universe!
Well that explains why I couldn’t get into it, despite being a big fan of the first Alan Wake; I’m way too ADHD for this game. Couldn’t enjoy Alan Wake 2, either; it’s too complicated for me.
It’s funny how different people, same thing, react differently. Also have ADHD and loved the game because there was always a new shiny with a tiny bit of lore dropped.
