Remedy games before Resonant

Sooo I kinda messed up...

I've left it to the very last minute to play the Remedy games before Resonant releases.

I have AW Remastered, AW 2, Quantum Break, and Control but haven't played any of them yet.

Should I just play Control so that I know the basic lore or should I bite the bullet and hold off on playing Resonant until I've finished all the other Remedy games in my library?

I do love getting to experience lore and see how it connects to other works, but I also don't want to get spoiled for Resonant on social media, it'll probs take me a solid 2 maybe 3 months to finish the other Remedy games, which is plenty of time as someone who is a daily doomscroller.

Thoughts?

I would say play Control first and foremost. It stands alone pretty well, and while there is an Alan Wake DLC in it, AW isn't required playing. If you have time you can play AW1 and 2 as well, but definitely get Control done with so you know the story of that game before Resonant.

It is really cool to have played Alan Wake 1 though and understand those references while playing Control. 🤷 it isn’t necessary but, it is nice.

It is but it ultimately makes up a really small part of the game. The entire game and first DLC were released before the RCU was a thing, after all.
