First time I played this game in 2019, I gave up because the combat got repetitive. That is still an issue, but having just played alan wake, I have a deeper appreciation for the world/universe Remedy are building.
The combat is totally fine, but my issue is how much of it there, is, almost every room you go in has a new 5-10 min combat encounter, backtrack through that same room a few hours later? More combat. Considering how cool the world is, the audio logs and the atmosphere, it's a bit of a bummer that those wow moments are ruined by another copy past combat encounter.
However, the story and world make up for this, especially if you've played previous Remedy games.
