What's a good videogame (story or gameplay) with out-of-this-world graphics? (gregtech.eu)

Alan Wake 2 legit blurs the line when presenting a character; between film footage and digitizing the actor. Even the games environments blend in photographed and filmed objects. It's a masterpiece of a game, with beautiful graphics, and a fun and bonkers story.

I should be playable from Epic Games Store via Lutris or similar. Or from sailing the high seas.

Nah, I'm not going to deal with pirating it or the epic games store

AW2 is DRM-free. I imagine it can be run completely independent of Epic. You’d need the store to purchase and download it but you could probably even uninstall the Epic app afterwards. I haven’t tested this though, so please don’t just take my word for it.

Btw should I play Alan wake before Alan wake 2?

[–] Breadhax0r@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It helps to understand some of the deeper lore, but AW2 does a good job of letting you know the important bits so it's not necessary to have played the first one.
