One of the ONLY Horror games to ever immerse me with its story and gameplay.

- Advice - If you ARE going to play it, play on Easy (which is Normal on Xbox), just read the manuscripts online at the end of each episode, and don't worry about the coffee thermoses because they don't unlock anything. - review - This game wouldn't have been so annoying if I'd known the difficulty levels were renamed for PC. - What's "Easy" on PC is "Normal" for consoles. - What's "Normal" on PC is "Hard"...

It’s not a positive review, it’s a neutral one. I can’t recommend this game and I can’t say it’s not worth playing either. It started great. The atmosphere reminded me of Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone – a mystery, a small town with a complicated history. The soundtrack in this game is on point, so every song matched the environment really well, one of my favourite parts of Alan Wake. I was playing on Steam Deck,...

Alan Wake is a third person adventure game. When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love. Played this on my Lenovo P15 with UHD 630 graphics and Quadro T1000...

✰ First played this game when it was released in 2010, and I have such strong memories connected to it from that time. You’re searching for your missing wife through the wilderness and mountain ranges of Bright Falls, which are visually appealing despite their dark, misty atmosphere. As the story progresses, you watch the guy slowly lose his mind while uncovering more pieces of the manuscript he wrote, only to watch...

And i finished my fourth playthrough of Alan Wake and my appreciation for it got even higher. Especially after playing through Quantum Break, Control and Alan Wake 2, it’s really cool to see just how much was already there back in 2010. And I just love Alan as a character. He’s simply my baby girl. I also like the gameplay a lot. The weapons feel good, and the tools the game gives you are fun to use for crowd...

1000% procent a recommendation on my hand. A Amazing storytelling story and a Good fighting gameplay, only down sight is that it feels like you have the stamina of a 300kg obese man Running around But beside that. It is truly one to never forget!!

The game has a very unique story to tell that twists and turns confusing the player all the way to the end, while dropping hints about the truth while you play. The gameplay is very solid combat wise and there are a great number of collectibles out there for you to find. Some of the main issues the game faces can be it's pacing, at times it felt as if the devs tried to extend the time of the game rather than add...

alan wake its a damn good game , you should definetly try this but keep in mind that it has some thing that becomes very repetitive and its gameplay is pretty okay but still 8/10 , because of the story

After playing 2 episodes, I decided to do something new this time and opened up a full game walkthrough on yt (@glp) and watched the rest of it. My initial reason was I felt like this game needed a remastered version for better graphics, and also, the gameplay felt unnecessarily repetitive. I was glad to find out that there was a remastered version, but unfortunately not on Steam. The flashlight mechanic is cool,...
