    The combat felt like a chore/filler 90% of the time, that’s my only issue. Collecting pages was annoying but that’s bc you don’t have as much movement like in Control, I ended up following a guide for the ones I missed. I am into faster games tho, with less resource hoarding

    edit: I also came after Control so it’s not fair to AW being much older but it is what it is

      Fair enough. Like I said, it certainly doesn’t play anywhere near as well as control does, but apparently really wasn’t bad enough to bother me.

      Edit: Then again, I’m certainly not going to tell anybody else how they’re supposed to feel. XD

      Oh, and I just picked up in your comment that it sounds like you were completing everything. I wasn’t really into it enough to want to get 100% so that may have also impacted my experience versus yours.

        I played it a few times, most of them without 100%ing, in the end I realized shotgun + infinite ammo is the answer. Still makes for a kickass setting, loved playing the control DLC afterwards, makes that freeze frame document hit like a truck. I just wish the “remaster” was a bit better, it deserves to have more than nicer textures thrown in.

          Suddenly I think I’m a bit of a novice compared to you. XD

          I’ve been playing for decades, but it isn’t a title that has yet called me back for a 2nd.

          It may still, idk, because I go mostly on feeling when chosing my next title.
