I must say that Alan Wake was coming close to being tolerable for me. The Anderson Farm scene was great, and I must say that the game - for a while - became pretty decent once I started using my weapons more haphazardly and stopped reading the manuscript pages. Thing is, the ending was completely unfulfilling for me. I honestly don't know how I'm expected to care about what I just saw. Furthermore, the game play leading up to the ending was just a complete mess, with the camera issues that I have with the game being emphasized further as I became lost in the dark at times. I really just don't feel like playing it anymore. I was half considering just throwing away the DLC redemption code that came with the game, just so I'm not tempted to give the game another go. I've been making it a point to review games once I finish them. I doubt that I'll bother. This game's on thin ice with me, almost to the extent that Tomb Raider: Legend is.

If you're getting lost in the dark, try turning up the brightness?
