Alan Wake Remastered

Alan Wake was already considered an exceptional game and over a decade later, this adventure holds up strong. Finding myself completely captivated, Remedy left me wanting more, even after completing the DLC. It’s regrettable that Remastered’s cutscenes have problems and I hope they can be patched, but ultimately, it’s a fine job. If you’re a fan of mystery thrillers, I cannot recommend Alan Wake Remastered highly enough.

If you look at Alan Wake Remastered as a brand new game that you never played before, you’ll definitely have some good time with this psychological thriller, but if you already played the original version then don’t expect any significant changes as the 2 versions are basically the same.

Alan Wake Remastered is a great game with capital letters and a perfect opportunity to enjoy it if it once escaped you. A horror adventure that moves the strings of psychological power like no one else, exploring the fears that we have in our heads.

Alan Wake Remastered is an example of what can be a good remaster of a videogame without an abusive price, it fixes some of the main issues that prevented a good game to make sense in today’s standards. Its ideals and the writer’s story would easily fit in any period of the gaming history so if you haven’t played it, this is an ideal opportunity to do it and the best way to fuel the hope for a potential sequel.

After finding out how deep the dark water goes, Alan Wake left us with not a lake, but an ocean of questions. And revisiting the Bright Falls through Alan Wake Remastered feels like a great way to read a certain old and dusted manuscript. Especially now, when the writer's journey through the night will seemingly continue at last.

As a big fan of the original, the announcement of Alan Wake Remastered was a pleasant surprise. And while I enjoyed my time with it, I can’t help but feel like this is merely a tiny taste of what’s to come. Veterans of the franchise won’t find any reason to go back, and if they do, they may even find that the memory of playing Alan Wake is better than the game itself. Newcomers will find a lot to love; however, granted, they can grind through its annoyances.

The original was always highly simplistic and repetitive, and neither the passage of time or being in 4K can do anything to improve this disappointingly trivial actioner.

adoro las mejoras y me encanta que traiga todos los dlcs y tambien el dobalje en español latinoamericano

Tolles Spiel, aber man hätte noch etwas mehr ins Remastered investieren können

​Alan Wake is a game of brilliant ideas and undeniable atmosphere, though it doesn't quite pull off everything it attempts. Remedy succeeds in creating an eerie, Twin Peaks-inspired setting filled with tension and great environmental design. Using light as a weapon remains a neat mechanic that creates some genuinely suspenseful moments early on. ​However, the experience starts to wear thin halfway through. The gameplay loop quickly becomes repetitive, as combat encounters follow the exact same pattern from start to finish—flash, shoot, repeat. On top of that, while the narrative starts strong with an intriguing mystery, the story often gets so convoluted and bizarre that you genuinely lose track of what is actually happening. ​It is worth playing once for its incredible style and ambitious psychological horror elements, but due to the repetitive loop and confusing plot, it's very much a "play it once, finish it, and never touch it again" kind of game.

Alan Wake Remastered is a total disappointment. It was marketed as a AAA horror game, if I remember correctly, yet it’s neither large-scale nor truly horror. After playing the Resident Evil series, this game feels painfully dull, repetitive, and lifeless — an utter ****, the developer is undeniably skilled and creative. I won’t lie — the gameplay concept is unique, at least for a while. But the endlessly recycled enemies, lack of variety, mediocre storytelling, and plot threads that go nowhere make Alan Wake Remastered a slog to play through.Unplayable. I’ll still give Alan Wake 2 a try, though my expectations are low. Many people seem to like it to some extent — maybe I’ll find something to appreciate too.

Alan Wake is a game with a great idea and story, but with terrible gameplay and controls (PS5). The game’s story is very interesting and is the only real reason to play it. The only downside is that it has an open ending. The gameplay is a standard shooter with an extra step — shining light using a flashlight. It’s not a bad idea, but it very quickly becomes repetitive and annoying. The game has three weapons — a pistol, a rifle, a shotgun, something like a grenade launcher, a “light grenade,” and a “light emitter,” which mostly don’t work- that’s it. No upgrades or variations. The enemies consist of three types, plus, possessed objects. I have never played a game with such repetitive gameplay. The controls are awful (PS5): dodging (mostly doesn’t work) and running (which lasts maybe 15 seconds) is mapped to the same L1 button. The worst part is that gameplay makes up 80% of the game. The environment looks the same everywhere, and the graphics are tolerable at best. Very, very weak — 4/10.
