While not as spectacular as the first Alan Wake, I did enjoy my time with this. Instead of tightly controlled linear paths to follow it has 3 large levels you can wander around. They aren't the most exciting, but I like that the game wants you to explore to find the manuscript pages.
The plot is pretty thin, but getting to see more of the adversarial relationship between Wake and Mr. Scratch is totally my jam, and I think will pay off more in Alan Wake 2.
I also really enjoyed the NPC characters and the whole framing of this being a Night Springs episode. All in all I think if you go into this game with the understanding that it is a smaller experience you can really enjoy yourself.
