Alan Wake

The game plays fairly well, although there really isn't much depth in terms of combat. Story wise it's quite engaging and interesting. Overall it's worth a look if you like these types of games, but it's by no means a must-play.

I wanted to play Alan in a looong time, because everyone praised the game as one of the best games ever. It's not. The game is linear, pretty standard gameplay BUT at first it seems like survival horror... just to become third person shooter later on... it has to, because Alan can't run more than 2 meters without running out of breath... there are also some compatibility issues etc. ... also good luck jumping over the ledges :) It's not a bad game, it's just nothing special - if you want some horror game like this, Dead Space, Resident Evil 4 (does that still count as horror?) Evil Within ... those are just much better...

After few minutes I've experienced all aspects of gameplay. Plot is not very complex, but it's revealed slowly so I could take more and more "unexpected" monster attacks. The game has no horror feeling at all. Technically it's made quite well, my playthrough was free of bigger bugs or glitches.

On 4K a couple of symbols are way too small. Some mechanics like reloading and so on feels notchy. The story telling is boring (watching TV, reading manuscript pages). Sometimes the distance between checkpoints is very long. The sound is very dynamic. I've set effect sounds to 20%. It might have been precursor for a genre back then. But I haven't played it 2010. So I don't feel nostalgic vibes.

This is my favourite game of all time, great ambiance, beauitiful settingn
