Alan Wake 2? Seriously?

Ok, to be fair I haven't played it, but did it break new ground and I just didn't hear? I assumed it was just... a fine third person horror game.

Baldur's gate 3 is a masterpiece and new high water mark. I say this despite intensely disliking DND 5e's rules.

I'm having the exact opposite path. I'm thinking Alan Wake 2 might be a timeless masterpiece, whereas Baldur's Gate 3 seems like such a rehash of a genre I'm totally fed up with. So even with all the praise, I haven't bothered to check it out yet, and will probably wait for a >50% sale before going there.

Entirely possible that both games are good though.

I've been describing AW2 as my subjective GotY. If you don't like the story telling or if you hate cutscenes in general, it offers very little, otherwise it really is a narrative experience like no other. BG3 is technically a revolution for CRPG but it's easy for me to imagine (and have seen) people get bored or the content

Well i hate watching movies so yeah i probably wouldn't like AW lol
