A cinematic experience, that I don’t think is very strong, loosely wrapped around a very simplistic and unenjoyabke game.

And I’m done! A cool ending. The endgame isn’t as interesting as it should be and the game’s quest design is never good enough. Fun fights though and a really cool map to be in, as well as a cool actual ending sequence.

Soft locked myself a few times, lots of reloading. But damn is this game awesome. Finished it up and just so satisfied by it.

Cool final chapter but the story is marked by missed potential in terms of narrative and gameplay. Been noodling around to wrap up some achievements but a tad underwhelmed by the whole package.

Finished! Playing as Alan Wake is kind of annoying but the highs of this are so damn high. Satisfyingly pulpy and always ambitious and interesting. Great video game.

Fun rush of bosses. But... How much of this game is pushing boxes? Too much, I say. And the bosses towards the end still don't push things in too creative a way. Combat still shines, even if it could do with another layer of complexity at a point -- perhaps more internal variety.

Gets better as it goes. The stuff where you get to be evil is a blast and it tries some stuff. Laying some foundation for the next game with the tag in stuff, but not done well here. Still a very static campaign but I do like the mad story — character stuff lacking and we are with the B roster to an extent (though the A villains).

The first half is playing as people I don’t enjoy playing as… But the back half is great. Endings are a cool touch if too brief in execution.

Really satisfying campaign, dabbled more in the systems also and I like how this plays. Great game.

World 6, unlocked special world and then beat the final Bowser world. That final stage is AWESOME. Amazing game.

Really cool! Descends into rote memorisation and more a proof of concept than anything else. Incredibly interesting though, and the central mechanic makes things very tense.

Outside of the heat chapter, all really enjoyable. Better when not steaming it… Full review coming soon.

Damn good final sequence... Could have done with some of that gameplay flexibility earlier.

Well, story done. Some cool ideas but feels very known and a more interesting narrative backloaded and shoved into a very static and resistant structure.

Then new game plus to do the often broken Crimson Fleet quest… which is actually very good.

Some real creative bits in here and some good writing, but also repetitive and a touch annoying.
