Alan Wake 2 is growing on me but I still find the level design frustrating. It's also too scripted so far and doesn't do a great job of explaining its wacky mechanics.
My father never accepted Yoshi's addition to the Mario series only ever referring to him as "The Serpent". "The Serpent is at best a tool not a character", he'd say. One Christmas I asked for Yoshi's Story and instead received a bible. "The Serpent's story is in there", he said
Finished season one of Let the Right One In. It was quite good, but I can see why it got cancelled. Veered from the book/films but not in an especially exciting way.
