This one is a mixed bag for me.
I really hated the gameplay, the whole deal with the flashlight got old fast and every enemy encounter felt like tedious work.
The story and atmosphere of this game is outstanding though, which is why I ultimately pulled through and finished it.
I'm looking forward to Alan Wake 2 and I really hope Remedy has something better to deliver when it comes to gameplay.

I really don't care about the trans discourse but one thing about this game has to be said... This might be the most overrated game of all time. Most mechanics in this game are mediocre at best, the performance on PC is weeks after release dogshit and the game just does not even look good. If you are willing to give this game a 10/10 rating, you are most likely extremely retarded.

The way this game has been received just goes to show that gamers don't deserve good things
