Planned downloading Forza Horizon 4 yesterday, but when going through my Steam Library, I thought hang on, I haven�t given Alan Wake a go yet. Now I�m really glad that I did!
Video.
I downloaded it free from Steam a year or so ago, and just never got round to playing it. It looks crisp in 4k. Although the textures don�t really warrant it most of the time, I play on a 4k TV, so.
The lack of ammo is irritating at first, until you realise that running for the sanctuary of a light source holding a flare above your head is integral to your chances of progression. The gameplay however is really enjoyable and I think that�s what got me hooked yesterday. Wandering around the forest with a torch - and actually needing it - is immersive. It�s not the smoothest experience at times. I suspect that is down to the porting, but it�s nothing like serious enough to break the gameplay experience.
I�m not a jump scare type of gamer, but this really felt like an old school American horror flick with narrative. Well worth a try if you haven�t already and like a bit of suspense, but without the heart attacks.
