    Alan Wake

    Putting the finishing touches on Alan Wake (the really old one). I‘m not much of a horror guy (and it‘s not much of a horror game), so mainly the story kept me going lol. Probably just gonna watch a playthrough of 2 to know how it continues.

    Peak

    Otherwise, I‘ve been playing some Peak with my gf and I really like it. The generated levels keep it fresh, the swap out only every 24 hrs gives ample opportunity to get familiar with the mountain. I wish it had DLSS and/or FSR though, the performance is abysmal for what it‘s rendering, the integrated „scaler“ looks pretty poor. My PC‘s screaming when I play this for no apparent reason lol

      Peak is a peak example of a trending game.
      We’re also playing it. And we know other couples playing it too.

      It came out of no where, is a bunch of fun, and will be forgotten about in a couple weeks.

      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.
