Man, I really, really wanted to like this game.
I was excited to play it after hearing many people say that it's an underrated gem.
I really don't understand the hype. This turned out to be one of my most boring gaming experiences ever.

In Alan Wake you basically just spend 10 hours running around the same, dark looking forest, killing the same copy paste enemies.
An enemy appears, you remove their shields with your flashlight, and then you shoot them in the face 3-4 times.
And you do this over and over and over and over again for 10 hours.
There are maybe 4 weapons and 4 enemy types. And they're all boring.

The only thing that kept me going was the story, but even that becomes pretty boring after a while. Collecting manuscripts is fun at first, then all the reading becomes tedious.

I found myself constantly checking walkthroughs on YouTube just to see how much more is left from the game.

Definitely not playing the DLCs and American Nightmare after this.

P.S. I still love you Sam Lake
