A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything is alright
Alan Wake is a game unlike any I’ve played before, not that I’ve played a lot but I seriously think it’s unique anyway! You can tell there’s a lot of love put into making this, i love all the lynchian influences that goes beyond the atmosphere of Twin Peaks, i see some Blue Velvet and Lost Highway elements too ;) and ofc Stephen King😂 I love seeing creations from the mind of a very cultured and inspired person, Sam Lake, the guy my boyfriend has a crush on…🙄 seriously though, it’s kind of inspiring to see these influences come into play into something that is very much its own thing. The story of Alan Wake was my favourite part of this, Alan as a character was very likeable and Jesus what a loyal man, to go through what he does for his wife and calling her his muse is real as fuck! Respect. And he’s just funny at random times.
I loved the combat sometimes, it could be pretty addicting, and using the flashlight along with the gun was a cool addition. The thing I did not like is how hard it was to dodge, like I swear I’d dodge as much as I could and I’d still get hit, plus it was nearly impossible to not get hit by the floating objects because my flashlight wasn’t powerful enough to get rid of it before it just throws itself at me. Also I played this on easy mode and it was not easy, might be a me problem though. ‘The Writer’ DLC chapter was the most fun and innovative, instead of having to walk on and on in some chapters I felt like I was actually doing a lot of different stuff throughout every checkpoint. Unlike in Chapter 3 where it took nearly 2hrs and I felt like I walked on forever doing repetitive combat, it could’ve been cut to an hour and I might’ve enjoyed that chapter more. So yh I think besides the pacing in ‘exploring’ some areas, it would’ve been perfect.
I’m very excited to play Alan Wake 2 and Control!
