The most INSANE level in gaming history....

[@MadMorph]

This whole game is just INSANE and amazing. Enjoy it with me with part 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4CuZp-mpb2Gm7M

[@mrspiderhead8794]

This is why Remedy remain the most creative studio in gaming. Someone once referred to them as a triple A studio with an indie studio mindset and it's so true. They have AAA budget but funnel it into fulfilling their own artistic/creative vision instead of just making whatever they think will sell like most AAA studios seem to. I will forever respect them for that.

[@dan_kotsu]

I can definitely see that. 100% game of the year here

[@applehazeva2739]

Remedy is an unsung Hero

[@fonkwindy1990]

Apparently someone turned Sam Lake's idea of a musical in the game, at which he simply replied: "Let me cook"

[@gleam6370]

I wish more devs were this experimental and inventive with video games as a medium. thank god for remedy

[@applehazeva2739]

Remedy is great!

[@laralouis103]

That was absolutely stunning...and how clumsy it looked when they danced in suits...I absolutely loved the silliness mixed with seriousness...I can imagine the actors rehearsing this with so much fun hahah

[@gdreyer]

If it wasn't for BG3, Alan Wake 2 should win the GOTY, this game is a masterpiece of narrative, the best game I've played this year.

[@10191927]

Already in a banger year of great games, but yeah this sequence alone gets a 10/10 for any game, it’s truly a god-tier gaming moment.

[@XxIcedecknightxX]

The game was a 9/10 for me but the ending is pretty bad 3/10.

[@skirrelbr]

@@XxIcedecknightxXno worries, the true ending will be on the DLC. There is a nice cliffhanger in the ending for the dlc

[@pariahlord3540]

​@@skirrelbrin my day, the true ending was included with the game you bought, i wont lie, the endjng left a sour taste in my mouth. If it were any other company id be mad, but Remedy and Sam Lake have done nothing but build up good faith with their fans for eecades, so i wont let this sour my love too much

[@dan-rm9yu]

theyre releasing a NG+ mode with added narrative, true ending is included in the game you bought. @@pariahlord3540

[@Chibi-kittenplays]

when I saw someone stream this, I went straight to Steam to buy Alan wake 1 to support the studio. When I get a bit more money I will buy 2 as well, even if I will never play it I LOVE the studio and want to support them and this INCREDIBLE work they do. This game has so much soul and heart which triple A games seems all to have lost. And go go Gods of Asgard! Aka Poets of the Fall, incredible group

[@swamp345]

This game deserves game of the year and the studio needs studio of the year

[@RichKelsall]

Have you played control. That game is amazing also

[@theghostoftom]

American Nightmare will give you Mr Scratch and why he terrified Wake. Plus some more of how Wake can affect the Dark Place. Control brings in the FBC, interdimesional stuff and is just downright too much fun to miss. You don't Need either one, but I fully recommend both.

[@applehazeva2739]

also can recommend Quantum Break!

[@NaughtyShepherd]

Those visuals were amazing, 10/10 coolest thing I’ve seen in a game.

[@LucyFurr666]

Oh my. At first I was skeptical of a musical level, but that was genuinely magnificent. I loved that so much, it reminded me a little of a game called 'In Sound Mind' at first, which is a great game. This was awesome ❤

[@BigBoss-nc7tz]

One of the best chapters in gaming history .. Sam lake is so creative man ..

[@crixus8183]

“I’m so glad there’s more” I had that exact reaction when I played through this level 😂

[@AzariahWolf]

Sam Lake: "Hey guys, can our engine simultaneously render like 20 FMV's?" Engine programmer: "...yeah, why?" SL: "No reason."

[@alexanderrose1556]

Remedy NEVER fails when it comes to its music part in its game, and tat collaboration they have with poets of the fall has been such a success for decades now

[@MariaKryvohub]

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it My GOTY no questions, and I'm not sure many games in upcoming years can reach the peak of Alan Wake 2

[@RomainDelmaire]

The ashtray maze in Control was cool, but this was one another level. Remedy needs to continue this trend of putting musical segment into their games.

[@oropher1234]

The ashtray maze was cool, this was cringe and annoying. But the rest of the game makes up for it for me.

[@gloriouslumi]

@@oropher1234 Who shit in your corn flakes? Go touch grass, mouthbreather.

[@rvodyssey9223]

I got through that part 2 days ago and it was absolutely the most Joy I've ever experienced in a game level. And I've been playing games since 1984 I've never seen anything like that ever. This whole game is truly unique and absolutely one of the best original soundtracks I've ever heard.

[@__gaqs]

I love the ending of the chapter when Alan says: "I didn't expect that..."

[@duncanedwards8258]

Thank you Remedy for making gaming FUN again!

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

I just watched a play through of this on another channels live stream.... I dozed off and this music woke me up and I was just enthralled for the next 40 mins.

[@ramiyohay7286]

Me: Nothing can top the Ashtray maze in Control Remedy: Hold my beer

[@LittleNayuh]

That was- utterly ridiculous and brilliant

[@FourKings13]

God tier game. Wish I could play it again for the first time. This was one of the few games I immediately felt nostalgic about once I beat it.

[@WillyPhonken]

Herald of Darkness just won Alan Wake 2 all the awards.

[@gregdavis8415]

youre 100 percent right its the best segment ive ever played

[@beanieisboozled2065]

That was honestly my most favorite part of the whole game

[@cccatie_]

that was wild ... and im even more confused yet intrigued

[@weathermore]

When you said "There's more", I had a flashback to my playthrough; I said the exact same thing xD

[@penyuwan]

Only Remedy could do this.❤😂

[@papawithgaming]

I remember playing Control and having that metal in the background and now this Remedy are just brilliant at what they do. Alan Wake 2 for me is perfection

[@kiekiek]

Some people think it was too cringe, or woke even (dancing men...). For me it was a visual marvel unmatched in the history in videogames, especially with RT on. The music worked perfect as well. The acting is overdone, obviously a nod to early 90's videogames trend with their wonky, and cringy implementation of live-action. I think this section was hugely entertaining, very well done.

[@jubileechambers2604]

It's definitely a highlight of gaming for me. One of the most fun, creative and Hilarious segments I've ever played in a video game. I've had Herald of darkness stuck in my head ever since I played the chapter.

[@Kyrkby]

A similar scene was in both the first Alan Wake as well as Control. Remedy did not disappoint.

[@TimeAndLocation]

it looked so cool with the games graphical effects light global illumination, really showed it off and made it seem like not just a gimmick to me lol

[@TwenT8CakesL8r]

Your comment about the Peacemaker intro... I thought exactly the same thing when I played through this! 😂

[@Mirtguitar]

I dont know if you notice, but the guitar solo's are insane

[@vincentstuart9562]

I about lost it when I got to this area because I wasn't prepared for some musical getting in my horror game but it was appreciated the song Ahti is singing earlier in the game is also unique to the game itself (and I think it's in Finnish at least partly)

[@Kadotus]

As a Finn, I can confirm that it is completely in Finnish and was made specifically for the game. Search for 'Ahti Yötön Yö' and you should find the English translation.

[@Userdfg-t8t]

Отличный Мюзикл 🎇🎆🤟👍 Разработчики молодцы отлично придумали вставить мюзикл в игру

[@Beading_Kate]

It was so weird and chaotic! Unexpectedly good. I liked it more than I thought I would. The dance is catchy, too 😂 … I am now ill, laying in the bed having fever, and somehow it seems so fitting for my current state of mind and body.

[@ELMor8443]

I played this game two weeks ago so was finally able to go back and watch your playthrough! It was lovely getting to experience my joy at seeing this again vicariously through you! I agree - it's one of the best things I've ever seen in a video game and this is the benchmark for creativity I doubt most games will live up to!

[@heather.n.schaaf3588]

That was fantastic! Loved it! ❤✨

[@jello2699]

I love this game so much that was awesome omg

[@paulrob08]

I just kept going around and around in amazement! its like the ashtray maze on acid!

[@msmoon6011]

It almost feels like the Dark Place is mocking Alan. lol Is it just me or did it remind anyone of tv shows that have a "musical" episode like Buffy? A brilliant way to break from the serious nature of the story for a moment. :)

[@Zepo94]

As bad as the dark place is, it can make some pretty good music

[@MrBigcoops74]

Poets of the fall bk again in Alan wake my fav band seen them live many times

[@jubileechambers2604]

I am actually super jealous of that. I only discovered Poets of the Fall because of Alan Wake but they have since been a frequent part of my music library. I would love to see Poets of the Fall live.

[@missdire]

A double upload?? And one is a musical?! Papa Morph, you spoil us! ☺️

[@matthewglover8804]

I can't stop hearing the guitar riff,some say it loops forever in my mind 😎

[@VampyressVA]

AMAZING! That's got to be one of the best things in gaming I've seen so far. I was a big fan of In Sound Mind with the unlocked vinyls of theme songs for each therapy patient (by The Living Tombstone), got "Bottom of the Pit" stuck in my head for weeks, but THIS... this takes the cake-that's-not-a-lie! 🤩

[@d_nur_r]

My opinion, Control Is testing ground DLC and AWE, if something off they fixed and we can enjoy on Alan Wake II . And story line and connection FBC AWE is Fenomenal

[@valoriel4464]

Music reminds me Ayeron's work. Good vocals. Thx for the fun time. ✌🏻

[@muldur5955]

so awesome! I'm excited to see what happens next! loving it! thanks morph!

[@MiyakoNakamura]

Wasn't too thrilled about an Alan episode at first, but a musical experience in gaming like this is unheard of. Imagine a full game done well using elements like this. I know you have some experience with music and performing too so I hope you're thrilled for carrying on. A truly grand Halloween treat to watch with dinner (taco bell).

[@pileofash2145]

This is the best thing ever lmao

[@noodles.dumplings.kimchi2878]

Another reaction I heard was that he was stuck in the dark place with shrooms and ecstasy

[@xenoxorus]

Matthew Porreta voice is so good

[@valorin5762]

The Ashtray Maze was nothing! :D

[@herrDOS]

Saga must have danced with everyone else

[@tetiana643]

Simply amazing 🤩 (Yes, I love musicals)

[@shannabul]

is the lamp intentionally modelled after a game award

[@hellcat1401]

Alan would've said 'It's catchy isn't it?' or something along that line when you just walked by Ahti without the flashlight. Lol Edit: Alan Wake 2 has been the only game I've been excited for in 13 years since the first one. Which I have beat countless times. I never tire of the first game, I know it by heart and Remedy is my number 1 favorite game studio. Edit 2: You have earned a new subscriber btw.

[@herrDOS]

Show me the champion of liiiiiiight

[@ryuuotaku35]

I’ll show you the Herald of Darkness!

[@pahomerr]

Lost in a never ended niiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[@jubileechambers2604]

Diving deep to the surface!

[@feraldelight]

That was incredible!

[@Unique_Unknown]

Blew me away

[@thetomandjerrylaugh]

i wonder what it felt like to be playing this game and then this just popping up lmao💃🕺👯 (like physically-- endorphin high, it seems so fun)

[@Vlad-bu3mr]

I loved playing this game through, cant say anything though...no spoilers

[@sarah13475]

That was stunning and so unexpected! And I thought I had it figured out until now. Please tell me that wasn't the end?!?!

[@MadMorph]

Much more to come, the next episode is terrifying

[@Fisch_InDerDose]

For me its the goty 👍

[@purgiaali]

In the last bit Ahti will speak a bit if you wait.

[@narutosensei77]

Hell ya Brother Best level Ever! Hell ya this game so far is FIRE! Though ther are some things i have had issues with not enough to be that upset. This game is What I have Expected for this game so far! The only thing I feel that is Missing is the Dark Presence being connected to an Eldritch Being, not beaten yet but if it happens I wil be Satisfied. This game is Far Superior to the First which I had alot of Issues with one being tOO long didnt need and TO Much narration for Alan. The game almost feel like a Walkin Sim. Hell ya 11 out of 10. This level is So well writen and implemented its Awesome.

[@ascendingrules]

That was fantastic.

[@sergiogonzalesYT]

The Musical is the best part of AW 2.

[@narutosensei77]

HOly shit ur Right that is Totally Peacemaker INto LMFAO

[@gaborszpisjak1874]

Why you didn't you use the flash light focus????!!!! It was sooooo painful to watch you play, i'm sorry...

[@anemoneyas]

Great scene but I have to downvote for being yet another youtuber who missed the WAIT FOR GUITAR SOLO stage directions and thinking peacemaker invented stage musicals

[@ohitshilary]

Fantastic!

[@musicfreak11]

I need to know the ending of this game!

[@h9hdf8]

play the first game?

[@user-1zUm1]

I've decided I'm buying this game when I get a PS5

[@DominicFrohlof]

too bad I can't even install this :D

[@Miracle12348]

Oooo

[@OwliSketches]

🖤

[@ZwiekszoneRyzyko]

Too bad there are also more tedious parts, like looking for those reality shifting points, juggling with mind palace cards etc. I love the story but sometimes the clunky gameplay gets in the way of absorbing it.

[@lianar482]

I love 💕

[@dereklucht4811]

lol i love silliness but even i thought it was a bit much

[@pahomerr]

Покупать из года в год очередную call of duty и fifa вот это перебор😂 А здесь недостаточно, я бы вообще предпочел, чтобы этот концерт длился как минимум час.

[@IwinMahWay]

So this is what you call a "game" now..

[@saurabhpathakYT]

I actually find it the worst thing of the many in this game. Alan wake deserves better.

[@samuraiwarrior87]

When your standards are so low you think this level is good or makes sense.

[@boydarksniperxxx]

What?

[@Vlad-bu3mr]

ahhh there is the edgy one..I was looking for you ;)

[@bleeboo8185]

If you think being edgy makes yourself a character then no You just look like a jerk who trash on everything

[@mattyjay1711]

Someone saying that you have to have low standards to enjoy this scene is the dumbest comment I have read in a long time. Congrats, you are stupid.

[@DreadKyller]

Thing is, with context, the scene actually does make sense. But more than that, do you not know how to have some fun once in a while?

[@violau8550]

Yawn, tons of non gamer think "special" and "unique" equal to "god tier". It seem most people seriously always praise something that they are bad with - which in this case, is gaming. Yeah, apparently people play horror game is for putting a smile on their face with musical. This game game play is bad, story is messy, combat is horrible, and this muscial chapter make it worst, it prove that this company just want to do the game director personal project more than a game. "If not because of Baldur gate 3, it would be the game of the year", lol, putting 2 game on same par seriously prove that most people really dont know what is gaming is the first place.

[@sonnymp1337]
