For real? Huh. I came in after Control and I had a great time. Didn't realize that it was perceived that way.
Ended up running through 1 and Nightmare.
I do play a lot of older games, though, so I'm used to a certain amount of jank.
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.
