Not really with you on the annoying complaint (except for stiff vehicle controls), but I totally get the repetition complaint. For me, I thought it was a fun meta-commentary on Alan Wake himself. It's like he can't help but be a hack who throws in one-too-many action scenes into each chapter. Maybe running back to that trough is what resulted in his previous writer's block. I also deliberately played it chapter by chapter, so it doesn't feel as repetitive either. |
The annoyance certainly depended a lot on how much I played of the game at once, but there were several action sections especially late in the game that I found just massively frustrating to play through because of the awkward dodge and how often the enemies can sneak up on you basically invisible.
