About Alan Wake

Alan Wake is a psychological horror action-adventure game developed by Remedy Entertainment. The narrative centres on Alan Wake, a bestselling thriller novelist experiencing writer's block. He travels to the small town of Bright Falls with his wife, Alice, seeking a change of environment. Shortly after their arrival, Alice vanishes under mysterious circumstances.

As Alan searches for her, he discovers pages of a thriller novel he does not recall writing. The events described in these pages begin to manifest in reality, and Alan encounters hostile supernatural entities known as the "Taken," who are controlled by darkness. The gameplay involves navigating Bright Falls and using light to combat these dark forces. The storyline explores themes of reality and fiction, along with the influence of the written word.

i replayed this last winter just for the atmosphere and yeah i'm biased but Bright Falls stuck with me more than most games i've finished this decade

Toute la nostalgie du monde change quoi à un gameplay qui répète les mêmes vagues d'ennemis ?

Le combat contre les Taken tourne vite en rond mais l'ambiance forestière fonctionne à chaque fois, ça compense non ?

Pourquoi on continue à le sous-estimer alors que peu de jeux osent raconter une histoire de cette façon, avec la lampe torche comme vraie mécanique ?

328e c'est déjà trop généreux pour un jeu qui répète la même phrase trois fois par mission.

Moi aussi je le trouve mal classé mais dans l'autre sens, l'écriture du personnage d'Alan reste ce qui m'a le plus MARQUÉ à l'époque.

I borrowed a friend's Xbox just to finish this over a weekend and never really talked to him again after that
