What Are You Playing?

[Besticus Maximus]

Second go of Alan Wake 2. A lot of it is annoying and the gameplay is objectively bad but I'm enjoying it more and making decent progress.

The real flaw of this game for me is Sam Lake. The metatextual stuff isn't clever, it's stupid and weirdly narcissistic. I feel like I'm reading the first draft of his rambles whenever the Sam Lake/Alan Casey characters speak.

I've adjusted expectations to a kind of Hellblade/The Quarry level of videogame and having a better time of it.
