I'm glad Alan Wake 2 and the Remedyverse of games got me to finally try this as I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think its gameplay is stronger than alan wake 1 and it might have the best gameplay of psychic powers I can think of in a game. However it does have some weakpoints, I think its plot is not as strong as alan wake as it tells a lot of its plot through documents found around the building and its not as immediately coherent, I feel like I need to watch a recap video to fully understand what happened. I don't think the setting is very strong either, at times its phenomenal like the ash tray maze, but for large portions its just a grey building that blurs together floor by floor. Thankfully the gameplay is strong enough to push past a lot of that and while the story is hard to fully comprehend, its fine for moment to moment segments.
