Today’s game is Alan Wake. Tonight may or may not be the last Screenshot from Alan Wake depending on how Achievement Clean up goes tomorrow (I have to get most of the collectibles and that’s it besides some misc. stuff). I’m proud to say though I completed the entire game on nightmare mode. Even got the Gunless wonder achievement for beating the last episode without firing a single shot and the one for Special 1 where you don’t use a vehicle (along with all manuscript pages).

This screenshot is from Special 2. I took it while climbing up the lighthouse using the Freecam built into the game. This whole episode is a lot of fun. The word mechanics are great and I feel like it leverages the Dream like state of the Dark Place well.

Another part I enjoyed was this Ferris wheel segment. Idk why, maybe I’m part hamster, but I really enjoyed this and how everything seemed to be flipped on its head at some parts. Especially the part where I had to jump in the water. I was really unsure due to how water was portrayed in this game.

On a side note. Something was wrong with Dream Barry. Idk if it’s an intentional developer joke because the player would probably never see, or if my game is bugged or what. But Barry’s eye textures were replaced with his face textures. It’s not like this in Special 2, or in his normal model in the base game. So idk what’s wrong with him here.

Thanks! I was working on cleaning up achievements for Alan Wake 1 al say, so Alan Wake 2 will have to wait for a little bit longer, but i'm excited to pick it up again!
