Xamalion

I'm blown away. I loved the whole concept of Alan Wake back in 2010. I even bought an XBox just to be able to play it when it got relased. I never dreamed of a sequel, but when Alan appeared in Control, I started to have hope again. Another 4 years later and here we are. The care that went into this game shows, finally we see Bright Falls the way it was always meant to be. We get a lot to explore and we meet some familiar faces along the way, which I won't spoiler here, but as my title says, this is like the return to Twin Peaks, luckily we only had to wait 13 years instead of 30. The actors, the score, the atmosphere, everything is great. I'm not finished yet, but it's already a 10 for me to be able to revisit this world and those characters in this golden age of video games.

And I mean that in many different ways, but primarily because she or it (depends in what shape one wants to see that matter) is simply the most interesting character, and I was finishing season one only to see more of her and get to know more about her.

Portrayed on a new level of excellence in highly subtle facial expressions or gestures, Laura Birn simply outplays most of the other cast of the whole series and is a worthy counterpart to Lee Pace's charismatic Day.

I'm not saying the rest of the show is not good, but Birns portrayal of the character Demerzel just makes you long to explore more and to find out what truly happened over so many centuries that she lived.
