Overall rating is a strong 7/10.

Pros:

+Great, chilling atmosphere through its lighting, settings and soundtrack.
+The perfect blend of suspense and supernatural, was fun to go through even as someone who isn't super into Thrillers/Horror.
+Very interesting premise of converging realities. Easy to become invested in, and gets quite thought provoking towards the end.
+Enjoyable characters and worldbuilding; the cast was all unique and all the little details added a lot to the game.
+A lot of unique mechanics and methods when it comes to taking out enemies, could be great fun at times.

Cons:

-Gameplay got a bit repetitive/linear.
-Audio mixing was quite poor.
-The controls haven't aged too well.

Excited to see how American Nightmare, Control and Alan Wake 2 expand upon this universe.
