Alan Wake (2010)

Summary

I bought this game early in the 360 cycle, and bounced right off it. I've probably put 5 or 6 hours into it, which is a slow bounce. But bounce I do, and I've retried it at least twice.

It's vintage remedy, though, and seems to be almost as good as max payne. I like the story, and would love to see where it ends up. The mechanics are good but frustrating as hell when you lose.

Expectations

I think I'll get into the groove of the mechanics and enjoy it a bit more than before now that I have the goal to actually fihnish it. I look forward to learning more about the story. I might have to take notes this time around.

Versions

This is an Xbox 360 exclusive for the original version, I believe. Let me look that up real quick.

Actually, there's a 360 release, but looks like a re-release for PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One/Series. I believe the Windows/Steam release is the original version, while these others may be the remake.

I'm not really that interested in the remake, as the graphics / sound of the old version were fine for me. I'm a simple man.

The Steam version might be interesting to try out on the Steam Deck, I guess. Could be something. It costs £11.39 on its own, £15.49 with extras. Might be worth purchasing, as the graphics are better and there's the option to use a mouse, should I decide to do that. Plus, I already own it on Xbox, so where's the fun in not buying somethin.
