WARNING I AM ABOUT TO GLAZE THIS GAME:
This is one of the greatest games I've ever played. The layers of story telling and the twists and turns are masterful. This is storytelling to teach, this is story telling you need to learn and understand.
I played alan wake 1 and thought it was eh, like the story was awesome but the gameplay was meh. Alan Wake 2 still has pretty "ok" gameplay, but this entire game I WAS HOOKED. I could not stop playing. The gameplay didn't matter. I never felt the drive to uncover the story just as much as I did with this game.
Can I just also say (sorry I'm gonna gush about this game), the acting was really good. Illka Villi and Sam Lake were surprisingly awesome in this. Saga Anderson's actress (sorry don't know her name), was wonderful. Don't think I forgot about her. I thought I WOULD BE SOOOOO BORED with the saga route... cuz it's not Alan (and I wanted Alan). But no. I legit found her story (up until like chapter 7 wayyyyy more interesting). I'm legitimately taken aback at how well they introduce Saga Anderson and use her in tandem with Alan. They also didn't try to shoe horn anything.
All in all,
I AM READY FOR CONTROL 2 AND THE ALAN WAKE 2 DLCS BAYBEEEEE. THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST GRATIFYING AND FULFILLING GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FUTURE OF REMEDY GAMES.
