Today’s game is Alan Wake. I had a ton of free time and managed to get pretty far. I’m playing on Steam Deck so my frame rates occasionally dip below 30 (You can tell my low video settings by Alan’s face). I saw someone online though talking about a FSR-3 mod for it though and how it’s super simple. Figured i’d install it. ended up spending 4 hours on it. First the tutorial was outdated and i had to install the mod directly into the game, then the controller wasn’t being detected, then it wouldn’t launch in game mode, then the mod vanished. At that point i said screw it and went back to the game. I might try again tomorrow because the benefits seem worth it.
This screenshot i took was in the Ocean View Hotel while making my way back into the main foyer area. I love how this game upped the thrill factor. I do prefer the first games controls i think, but this one i think has me constantly on edge. I love it. I also like the nods to the first game too. One example is There’s a shoebox where i can store items, and i think it’s an amazing reference to the lore of the first game.
I took a bonus screenshot while Alan was getting his face pummeled in by a Shadow. It looks like he’s taking a selfie while pissed off:

Dude AW2 is fuckin excellent. I will admit to getting stuck on (what I imagine is) the final stand for Agent (can’t remember her name) by the lake. I went back to playing cyberpunk again because I’ve been playing it way too much.

Oh man. If you haven’t played the DLC and if you haven’t played since the big update, you def need to.
