Review under investigation for treason

Alan Wake sits at his typewriter and writes like Garth Marenghi [𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺] and I love him and this all the more for it. A metatextual narrative that continuously folds in on itself over, and over, again. A monumental Lynchian pastiche, that although not perfect. Stands out as something that no other AAA publisher would attempt to create. For me this is an ode to creativity, writing, and a celebration of Remedy itself.

logging into a private Discord server that only I'm in to play Krunker by myself with all the lights out and noise-cancelling headphones on so I can divert 100% of my brain to the task at hand. all these fucking automata aren't even engaging with the game they're just treating it as secondary to whatever frivolous conversation they're having. I pick them off effortlessly with a sniper rifle I paid real-life money for while they spawn back in and brainlessly run around in the gaming equivalent of highway hypnosis. this is the place where I am the strongest. I am Chris Kyle. I am the Red Baron. I am a fucking killer and I'm glad you're just sentient enough to know you should be afraid of me. You and I are fundamentally different animals

torrenting a file with one seeder feels exactly like this

Everytime I finished a chapter of this I had to get up and walk around the house staring at the walls with my hands behind my back like a middle-aged father watching television.

super cozy game, but frustrating to play.. the pacing and general design of what to do and where to go is very very poor, just found myself frustrated in every world i visited, having to look up guides on what to do or where to go next

This review contains spoilers

Basic characters and story but has a lot of heart and that's what counts. However, this was truly one of the most baffling, anticlimactic, and unsatisfactory ways to end a game after 30+ hours of buildup. There's a "true ending" after 100% completing the game that I just watched on YouTube because I had no motivation at this point to put more time into the game. Even then, this stupid ass second ending still leaves further to be desired and undoes one of the most meaningful moments of the game. The visuals, character/creature design, and music are all great, but the ending and overall writing has soured the game as a whole for me. derp
