Just finished Alan Wake American Nightmare. Not too special; glad it was short. I'm pretty far into Abiotic Factor but only play co-op with my cousin so that will be a bit still. I am just starting Cyberpunk 2077.

    American Nightmare was an Xbox Live Marketplace game I think, and that low budget kind of really shows. It's fine for what it is, and I do enjoy the live action recordings of Ilka Villi getting to let loose a little bit. I would never recommend it in isolation, but I think it's worth playing on the way to Alan Wake 2.

    I think Alan Wake 2 is in my top 5 of all time. Gameplay isn't anything special - at least the combat (it's a competent but ordinary survival horror) but the story, presentation, cinematics, mixed media and in general just the art aspects are all top shelf.

    It also is the culmination of the Remedyverse stuff, and really pays you off for having played all the preceding games (including Max Payne and Quantum Break).
