Alan Wake II2023

I gave it a try when it was available on PS+ and wasn’t expecting to enjoy it that much. I’m usually not a horror fan, but this game’s atmosphere just got me so hooked. Walking through dark woods, corridors and basements is scary, but it makes you so curious about what you’ll find or encounter next. Personally, I liked Saga’s parts more because I loved exploring the areas around Cauldron Lake and collecting all the clues to piece everything together in Saga’s Mind Place. But I also liked how much scarier Alan’s sections were because you constantly felt pursued by whispering voices and those dark figures that seemed to be everywhere. And oh damn, the soundtrack is such a banger. I instantly added it to my video game soundtrack playlist. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’ll definitely get around to playing the DLCs in the future as well. By the way, it’s probably one of my favourite platinum trophy experiences ever. Every trophy unlocked pretty naturally just by enjoying the game, and I’m so glad that you only had to unlock one Word of Power for a trophy.
