Sacred Symbols+, Episode 354 | Alan Wake 2 Spoilercast and Review Discussion
Added 2023-12-07 17:00:12 +0000 UTCNote: Defining Duke will be coming out Saturday instead of today so Matty and Cog can cover the Game Awards. Enjoy Saturday's SS+ today!
Thirteen years ago, Remedy Entertainment released Alan Wake and left players on a major cliffhanger. Now, in 2023, we finally have a follow-up to answer many of our questions and, without a doubt, ask many new ones. For this spoilercast, I (Dustin) knew I needed a crew of Alan Wake fans who were just as excited as I was for the sequel: Gene Park, Rick Hoeg, and Ben Smith. Together, we dive deep into the mysteries of Alan Wake 2, while answering your questions along the way. It's not a lake but an ocean of topics we cover, so please enjoy!

Dustin your absolutely spot on, I really wanted to have the story rounded up nicely and It just wasn't for me. At all

2023-12-08 16:43:12 +0000 UTCYou guys did a fantastic job with this spoilercast! I always love seeing Hoeg and Ben on Sacred Symbols content. Thanks for taking time to get this out as well. This game is a lot to digest. I want to say it is now a top 5 game of all time for me in the same vein as mgs1 but it's still so fresh. Dustin nailed it when he said that this is the culmination of what Remedy has been working towards. I look forward to hearing more of what Chris and Colin think of it.

2023-12-07 23:08:07 +0000 UTCLooking forward to listening to this after I finish the game. Hoeg always goes hard on the story analysis. Was hoping to hear Chris’s take too, but I’m sure he will talk about it during his goty discussion.

2023-12-07 20:22:56 +0000 UTCWelcome to the Rick Hoeg spoilercast also starring Gene Dustin and Ben. I love when Hoeg just says fuck it and takes over these.

2023-12-07 19:52:56 +0000 UTCThis is probably the most thought provoking game I've ever played and has been lingering in my mind like a David Lynch film. I absolutely loved the story and the new inclusions especially Mr. Door
