I didn’t mind Saga, I liked several of her chapters (the one coming after Coffee World was one of my favourites) and I enjoyed the mixup in playstyles, environments and weaponry to create some variety. I also thought it was neat to see the reality-rewriting happen in real time for her in parallel to the Alan stuff. The one thing that I didn’t like with her was all the collectibles, I felt that those ruined the tempo and pace and were just busywork put out to meet the expectations of modern gamers but actually detracted from and otherwise tight and concise story.

For sure Alan’s chapters are the stars of the show though, they’re just fantastic and show the full range of Remedy writing, art direction, creativity and mixed media use.
