I played this when it came out back in the day. I didn't know much about it. There were some teasers in Game Informer a couple of years before it came out; but by the time it was released, I'd pretty much forgotten about it. After playing it, I will never forget this game.
It's beautiful and compelling. The storytelling is like a well-oiled machine that continues to impress as the story grows. The characters are thought out and intriguing and the atmosphere is serenely creepy.
The symbolism with the darkness and the light could have easily been too on the nose but they really made it work and with that created such an intense and engrossing game that I found it very difficult to stop.
Alan Wake is everything a horror game should be. It never did get enough credit. Like I previously stated, I played it when it first came. It was a beautiful game then and I still think it looks pretty good. One of the most pleasantly surprising games I ever played. Absolutely recommend it!
