Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake is an adventure that this particular writer never fully got along with during several aborted attempts to play through its campaign back in the day. It’s not that it’s a bad game, far from it, just that it never managed to overcome a few mechanical shortcomings, making for an interesting story that’s a little too clunky in places.
