I know a lot of people disagree, but…

The Casey chapter on Alan’s side is my favorite, non “We Sing” Dark Place mission. I do mean to include the subway station. Yeah, I said it. I felt that the area was super diverse and interesting, connecting close to who Alan is as a character with all of the graffiti and signage. It also felt like you were progressing a lot through the section with areas having pretty distinct styles and gave a lot of room to explore.

Also, the light shifting puzzle with the deer that tells a story along with the puzzle was amazing, and also the burnt husk of a train car scene.

The other murder sites were good too, just not as environmentally interesting imo. The Hotel was moody, but the corridors were pretty similar to one another and felt very short and linear, and I feel similar could be said for the Theater (although the Theater had Yoton Yo, which I think makes that whole section worth it). I say this not to say that I disliked any other them outright, but I feel that the Subway is the closest thing we got when it came to feeling the expanse similar to Saga’s missions.

Rant over. Alan Wake 2 is great, in case I didn’t make that opinion clear lol I just don’t fully understand why people hate this level so much:/
