Weekly Game Review: Alan Wake

[Ozzie]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the review. It didn't occur to me to do audio/video quality because those aren't really things I tend to focus on in a game (I crave the story and gameplay) but I'll definitely keep it in mind for future stuff I write for the site.

In terms of my last paragraph implying it, it's because I felt that, when you're not immediately in a combat, all you are doing is walking around in startlingly linear dark forests. Outside of the occasional branching path that just leads to a collectible or a supply chest (which are also collectibles in the stats menu, by-the-by) and then you have to turn around and resume down the first path, there's little to no exploration available in the game. And you really do have to look for the manuscript pages to get the full enjoyment of the story.
