Alan Wake PC game thoughts
Channel: Solid shows, feels films & great games
Date: 21/09/2013

Spoiler alert: I reveal a lot of what happens in the game, including details of the ending; I made this mainly for those who have already played it. This is where I get into specific stuff of the game. I don't swear in this.

Timecodes for what I discuss:
00:44 the ending
2:53 why send killers?
4:35 story within a story, can the story change?
6:07 Nightingale in the story
7:23 "has to be credible", Cynthia
10:00 DLC
12:10 Barry in the DLC, taunts
15:45 opening dream - pay-off, dream
18:00 garbled names of places

I meant to say in this: in the review, I mention that some of the story meanders. What I'm referring to is episodes 2 and 3, both of them about the kidnapper. There are great things in both(like Rose drugging Alan and Barry, the manhunt of Alan, and Rusty's presence), I just wish the two had been combined into one episode - so you only met the kidnapper once, and then the Dark Presence killed him at the end of that.
