One of the best written games I've ever played, complimented with a fantastic performance by Matthew Poretta as Alan Wake. The flashlight mechanic was a really fun twist on combat in a horror game which usually splits into melee or gunplay. My biggest complaint is that the movement is pretty clunky, almost like it couldn't decide if it wanted to have tank or analog controls. This, along with the janky camera, made some combat encounters frustrating. I'd gladly go through it all again to re-experience the narrative. If Alan Wake 2's narrative is just as solid and it improves on the gameplay it will likely be my personal GoTY.
