I was a bit surprised about the high price tag. Did the DLCs for previous From Software games cost that much too? Anyway, hard to judge now. But if it has a lot of content and feels like a real extension of the game, then it could be worth the price.

I wouldn’t say it’s that much niche. I can recommend the first Alan Wake game (since the sequel is allegedly going more into horror). It’s a game that makes you tense without showing you guts or jump scares every 2 minutes. I remember it making me pretty anxious about staying in the light (it’s the premise of the game, you can’t be hurt in the light, the monsters come from the shadows).

Given what the French government got for their money’s worth in counselling from McKinsey, I’d take what they say with a pinch of salt.
