For me the problem with AW, more than the boring gameplay loop, is the weird episodic format they shoehorned into it. You’d just be getting into the groove of the game, used to the annoying combat and stealth and such, and then it yanks you out of it and you have to watch an end of episode cutscene, and then a new episode cutscene, just to continue on

caseofthematts@lemmy.world 8 months agoControl was so good that, for me, it retroactively made Alan Wake better by their connections.
However, in my opinion, that didn’t make Alan Wake good. It’s a game that should have worked wonders for me, but the gameplay loop being the same from beginning to end (and truthfully, it being monotonous didn’t help) and the controls being frustrated just made it a game I wanted to get through, rather than enjoy.
Unsure if I’m going to play Alan Wale 2, as it looks like the same gameplay that I didn’t enjoy.

I remember the controls being weird. It’s been a while so maybe I’ll try again?
