Subs out a Cascadian shit filter for a Sonoran piss filter, adds the slightest bit of enemy and weapon variety, and bows out before the player starts to wonder why Alan Wake conjures damsels in distress in every page of his shitty Night Springs spec script. AKA not a bad game.

Also, a note about Mr. Scratch. It struck me as funny that Sam Lake and Co. were so mind-melded with Twin Peaks to correctly anticipate Mr. C six years before The Return, and at the same created a character not even half as terrifying or thematically poignant as Lynch's version. It struck me as funny, Harry. Do you understand me, Harry? It struck me as funny.
