That's a strangely great one... When I was playing it, I complained a lot. Too grindy, movement too sluggish, progress too slow, no tutorial or instructions whatsoever... and while the last one mattered less and less the more I got into the game, the rest really annoyed me. Then I finished. And I couldn't wait for Below Zero.
All in all a really nice game. Not without its flaws but from time to time breathtaking (I loved the Lost River!). I would love to play the next game in the series soon, but it'll probably be a few years before it's finished.
My favorite game is Alan Wake. I am a big fan of horror games and Alan Wake is just perfect. Great setting, superb story and amazing atmosphere. The remastered version was the second best thing that happened last year, second only to the announcement of the sequel. Can't wait for 2023!
