Today’s game is Alan Wake. I wasted no time getting back too it and went through the first half of episode 4. I would have done the second half but the game crashed sadly. I’m hoping to complete it soon, though with the Silent Hill 2 remake on the horizon i’m considering swapping my plans for Alan Wake 2 with that because i’ve been excited for SH2’s remake for a while and just remembered it’s coming out here in a few days, i’m not 100% sure on if i’ll do that though.
I originally accidentally posted this screenshot to the wrong gaming community, but The screenshot is of the Lodge at the start.
I think this game does a really good job of leveraging it’s landscapes, Particularly at this part. The whole game does an amazing job of capturing it's landscape, especially for a game of it's age where i feel like the landscape can sometimes show it's age.
Episode 4 is probably one of my favorites because i feel like it has a good balance of action moments and story pacing moments. Not to mention i love the lodge section. The escape from the lodge itself is great and it has a lot of cool lore elements, and then the hedge maze and garden outside i love too. It is probably one of the most memorable parts too me. Breaking Episode 4 into two parts may have been a blessing though, as it will let me talk about my other favorite part of Episode 4 in more detail tomorrow without drawing out the post
Beside what Citizen Kong said, I wouldn't start playing a game right after release. Give them a few weeks to iron out the bugs.
I already have to wait a while to see how it performs on Steam Deck. I figured by the time the community figures out if it is or isn’t viable to play on deck (assuming Denuvo or something else doesn’t fuck it over), then most of the bugs will be ironed out.
Yeah, that's true.
