A unique experience!
Alan Wake, game released in 2010 and developed by Remedy Entertainment. In the game you play Alan Wake, a very famous writer who hasn't written any books in recent years because he's suffering from writer's block. With encouragement from his wife Alan along with her they go to the small town of Bright Falls and then Alan begins to experience supernatural experiences and seeks to unravel the mystery behind it all and rescue his beloved wife who is missing.
Alan Wake is a game with an interesting narrative, during the game, in addition to having the narration of Alan's thoughts, we also have other elements that make the game feel like a book, both for the events and for some lines and type of language used in certain scenes. The Gameplay elements in its base is from Survival Horror, I as a fan of this genre really enjoyed being able to face enemies with Survival Horror mechanics. The game's soundtrack I thought was impeccable, very good and mixes very well with the moment, being often a tense and electrifying track to keep the tension of the fight, but the game also prefers to keep only with the ambient sound, causing many of the sometimes a build up of tension, of knowing that at any moment something might appear, of knowing that nothing around you but your flashlight can protect you.
The characters as any good plot are well developed, at most there is a single character that doesn't have much basis but we can know more about him through the manuscripts we found. From Alan to characters like Waitress Rose are well presented, even though some have little screen time, the game's narrative makes us empathize with them and know that they exist, besides it's a small town and we have this feeling that everyone know each other.
The game's story is something extremely good, in addition to all the elements I've told so far that makes the game wonderful, the story is the main course, as it is an original, deep, interpretive and well-developed plot, a game rich in its universe, not delivering the information to the player from trays, but building the story little by little until reaching its conclusion. I particularly love this type of plot that makes you pay attention to understand things, and as I said above the narrative contributes a lot because it makes you get stuck in the plot and want to know what will happen next.
Alan Wake is an extraordinary game that I won't forget, the experience I had playing was unique, still this year 2021 Remake will be out so I hope more people will play this wonder. Alan Wake clasp with a 9/10 grade.
