"It's not a lake, It's a Ocean" - The very last line of Alan Wake

For a good while, I was a pretty big fan of Alan Wake, I found it really good, so good in fact I streamed it to some friends on discord playing it the second time, so in celebration of Alan Wake 2 finally coming this year, I might as well make a review (and also to redeem myself for not doing this earlier)

Story: When you're an aspiring writer like me, you'll realize that it's surprisingly relatable, especially when it came to Writer's Block, I'm good for now but it'll just happen once in a while. and I found Alan Wake himself to be pretty relatable and all, but seriously, I like this story, In my personal opinion, I'd place it next to Death Stranding's Story, while it is in segmented chapters, it's still good, it treats itself like it's a TV Show, and best of all is that a few years after this game released, it'd eventually connect this game to Control, another Remedy I enjoyed, creating a Shared Universe. 10/10

Music: Bangers. No, really, most of them are really big bangers, a personal favorite being: The Poet and the Muse and In Dreams, no words really to best describe them 9/10

Gameplay: Very Original and Creative for it's time, and I mean 2010-type of time, well, that and it can be kind of challenging at times, so that's cool. 10/10

Final Thoughts: You may have noticed that when I was doing the Story segment, it was more fleshed out then when I did the Music and Gameplay segments, that's because this game is very story driven, and in a way, I found the Music and Gameplay to be like Tools to help push the plot into momentum, that and I also played Control first before Playing Alan Wake, I did eventually try Quantum Break after I got this game, and well, you can check my thoughts on it on my profile, So in other terms, Thank God, Alan Wake 2 is finally coming, and I hope you enjoy the game
