Alan Wake is a survival horror game developed by the Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment. It's a unique blend of a mystical action film, a psychological thriller, and an adventure game. Plot The main character of the game is writer Alan Wake, who, along with his wife Alice, comes to the small town of Bright Falls to relax and work on a new book. However, shortly after arriving, they encounter unexplained phenomena: dark forces begin to pursue them, and Alan himself loses consciousness and wakes up in the forest. To save Alice, Alan must fight against dark forces that take on the form of sinister creatures and even the revived pages of the manuscript of his book. In the course of his adventures, Alan discovers that dark forces are linked to his manuscript, which becomes the source of their power. Gameplay Alan Wake combines elements of a third-person shooter, survival horror, and action-adventure. The player controls Alan, who fights enemies, solves puzzles, and explores the game's world. The game has two main mechanics: shooting and using light. Alan can shoot a pistol, submachine gun, or shotgun, and also use a flashlight or other light sources to fight the dark forces of evil. Light is the only way to defeat enemies, as they are afraid of it and disappear when hit by a beam of light. There are also survival elements in the game: Alan must watch his health, ammo, and lights. If it is left without power or ammunition, it can quickly die. Graphics and sound The game's graphics are made in the style of film noir: dark colors, dark landscapes and an atmospheric soundtrack. The game's soundtrack also deserves attention: music, nature sounds, and character voices create a unique atmosphere. Conclusion Alan Wake is an exciting game that combines elements of different genres and creates a unique atmosphere. If you love psychological thrillers and games with survival elements, then Alan Wake is a great choice. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2500014527

Critically speaking, this game is terrible. I heard other people describe it as "Best 6/10 game I've ever played" and I wholeheartedly agree. The gameplay loop is basic and it overstays its welcome by about 6 hours. The protagonist mostly walks alone in a dark corridor and keeps commenting on every single thing that happens. Combat is sluggish, with about 6 types of enemies repeated in different quantities throughout 10 hours of gameplay. It doesn't really get better because no matter whether you shoot enemies in the head or their pinkies, they take the same amount of damage. The voiceacting honestly just sucks, especially for the protagonist. He never, ever changes the tone he's speaking at, no matter the situation. He wishes his wife "Good morning" with the same emotion as he later expresses when he wants to torture her kidnapper. In most scenes, it seems no one was giving voice actors any direction and they didn't do retakes for obviously fumbled lines. The writing feels like an inconsistently self-aware B-movie. You get these insane scenes like an FBI agent shooting at you for seemingly no reason, even though you're next to a civilian, as the FBI agent shouts the names of other famous writers at you. And he changes the name he shouts EVERY TIME. I honestly do not understand people who unironically praise the writing of this game, because it feels like they must've never even seen the inspirations the game draws from. The constant references to Stephen King and The Twilight Zone, in my opinion, drag the game down because it points out how much they just wanted to emulate something without having the skill to do so. But honestly, at least I had quite a lot of fun with how terrible it is. The writing is campy, sometimes it is self-aware, sometimes it's just stupid. Tha game certainly hasn't aged well and I'd hardly consider it one of the greatest games of all time. Yet, it is kinda funny and fun at times.
