Alan Wake is a really awkward game. I like the lore but the level design and combat kinda blow.
The setting clearly has a lot of thought put into it and it was actually originally going to be an open-world game where you freely roamed Bright Falls and fought the Dark Presence at night before it was arranged into a cinematic seventh-generation console shooter :sadness:
I would be fine with the mediocre "this cant be a walking sim" game mechanics if they just centred the damn camera, motion, and crosshairs instead of trying a fancy cinematic dutch angle that makes be constantly walk with a 10 degree lean.
I play flight sims and Skyrim in VR, I have a high tolerance of nausea and shitty controls that get in the way of playing, but no game has ever made me feel as physically ill and frustrated trying to play it.
Wish I could get into Alan Wake but the wonky over the shoulder camera makes it impossible for me to enjoy it.
