Alan Wake

Great atmosphere and unique writing. But the constant point A to point B and fighting becomes a slog overtime.

Rating based on having played remaster.

As a Twin Peaks fan I really wanted to like this game. This game does not deserve to be liked, though. Rarely have I screamed in frustration over any other game beside the Soulsborne games in my adult years, but this one triggers me within the first 3 hours, and it's due to very poor gameplay design, not difficulty. The game is also beautiful in daylight, but most of it takes place during the dark. Such a wasted opportunity. The story was even kiiiiinda promising, but also very predictable.
