You didn't get very far into it if you think it's repetitive and "simplistic". Some of the things you do later in the game are some of the most complex and amazing experiences I've probably ever had in a video game (iykyk).

I will admit that it does start a bit slow but once the story takes off it never lifts its foot off the gas pedal.

You're greatly exaggerating its repetitiveness. That would be like saying racing games are repetitive because all you do is steer left or right in every race.

You continuously get new weapons and abilities and the enemies grow stronger and adapt to those abilities. The locations you fight in also get more complex as you get further into the game. And that's completely ignoring the story which, while not to Alan Wake levels, tells a compelling and intriguing tale.

So yes, you can simply describe the main gameplay loop as "clear the room then move on to the next room" but that's severely underselling it.

Huge Alan wake fan. So I just got this on PSN. It's very repetitive and simplistic. It's Alan wake adjacent but definitely nothing like it. 🥲

I thought it was a blast and it is a pretty short game which great for people who don't want a huge time commitment

This game had a ton of accolades when it came out. Very story driven. An absolute steal for $4. Its more entertaining than a movie which costs you $15 these days.

I also agree it is a fun game if you enjoy ambiance and an intriguing story. Mechanics are fun as well and change/expand throughout the game.

I played it for 20 hours. Is that short for some games? Yes, but at 20 cents an hour, fantastic. And those are a hand crafted 20 hours, not generic weapons and fetch quests.

I have this on epic, but no one uses epic so I'm tempted to get this on steam at this price, but I know as soon as I do, it'll be on some humble bundle I'm gonna buy. I just know it.

It was also given away on GOG (via Prime IIRC) so check that if you redeem those. The GOG launcher is much better than the awful Epic launcher. There's no multiplayer though so it doesn't really matter too much which launcher you use.

This game is ok. It's a far cry from "amazing." There's no cover system and you basically just run back and forth, shooting. The story is decently interesting, but gameplay just doesn't feel fun. The Alan Wake games are way better.

Yeah? I mean I did complete the Ultimate Edition. So guess that's not far enough. A ton of just run and gun repetitive nonsense. Clear out enemies, door no longer blocked. Rinse. Repeat. I did like the parts outside of that but that shit.was 3/4 of it. Brutally repetitive.
