So the game is about: Go to a room. Shoot a horde of enemies. Go to another room. Sometimes the story progresses. Which is disappointingly short. This is counterbalanced by more shoot enemies in a room sessions. I've just replayed Alan Wake, and - as it was told control has some connection with it, and heralds the coming of AW2 - I foolishly bought this one expecting the same. Still. Controls are flawless. Including the camera handling. Art is concise. Graphics are great. Sounds are also. The world is interesting and well narrated. Only that this is not an action-adventure game. This is a repetitive shooter with some character development mechanics (that are unavoidable if you don't want to die every minute). They could tell this story in 30 minutes in a real adventure game. I hope AW2 will go back to the roots. Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure that this is what people want nowadays in the fortnite era.
Released in 2017. With graphics from 1995. Controls that even old console ports would envy. For the price of a decent game? I want my money back :(
About 3 hours of gameplay which already includes a long and poorly visible minesweeper session. The story could have made this game great, but it's just a collection of (sometimes quite senseless) puzzles with mediocre controls. What I don't understand is why new adventure games are so short with the feeling of hasty production.
