A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Alan Wake 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, and if you like the story it's definitely worth considering playing. Yes, it is a bit more of a horror game, but it's phenomenal. I recommend watching a recap of Control and its AWE DLC, as they directly tie into the plot of Alan Wake 2. Or just play them, Control is also a great game.
If you really truly can't stomach horror games, both Welonz and Mapocolops have great AW2 playthroughs.
Second this. The Ashtray Maze is still one of the coolest levels in a game for me.
