I really liked the first Alan Wake game and as far as I remember, everybody considered it a so-so game. All of a sudden, everybody likes the second part and claim it the 2023 game of the year. IMO it's pretty boring. As much as I liked the True Detective-ish first hours of the game, I don't like everything that comes after we play as Alan Wake. It was boring as hell. It's 3/5 from me.
