Alan Wake is a very unique horror game that i enjoyed a lot. There’s a lot i liked about this game and a little bit i didn’t. To start, the combat in this game is very unique, i enjoyed having to be tactical by using light to defeat enemies, with that said however a lot of times fighting multiple enemies at one time SUCKED. The story was also very unique too, i’m typically not a fan of episodic games outside of a few telltale games but it worked very well in this game. i think the ending was a little bit rushed but it still did a really good job at getting me even more excited for the sequel. i also think the gameplay got a little clunky at times especially with the dodge mechanic but hey, it’s a game from 2010 so it’s pretty much to be expected.

Overall, Alan Wake is a great game that does a great job at making itself very unique compared to other survival horror games, i could absolutely see my rating going up to a 4.5/5, and i’m beyond excited for the sequel.
