I played Alan Wake once.... I though it was the worst game I have ever played.
first of all I didnt like the supernatural approach, it felt like they though "hmmmm how do we make this happen, we need a reason or an explenation..... oh, I know! lets just blame it on the supernatural!" And when they tried to use a little bit about quantum physics as an explenation they fucked up even worse! since quantum physics does not work like that, it is completely different.
But I must admit that the story was interesting anyways.
But the gameplay... oh my god it was boring! you would walk a little bit in a dark scary forest and : what did you know, here are some enemies! wow! did not see that comming! And guess what? THEY ARE ALL THE SAME! you just aim your flashlight at them for a while and then you just shoot them... "but edvin, what about the possessed objects! the ones who flew around!" Well you just dodge them.. that is basically it... The whole game play was : walk a little bit. meet some enemies.. dodge, aim flashlight, shoot, find some ammo and bateries, walk for a little bit, find some enemies.....
The only thing that wasnt terrible with it was how the character read stuff from his novel mid game, But they tried to make a book into a video game wich in this case just didnt work.
