Deals heavily with Alan Wake just trying to keep his mind together while trapped in the Dark Place. The story is very well done but again it feels like the devs relied to heavily on wave after wave of enemies to push it along.

The Writer is the perfect wrap for Alan Wake's jouneys in to his twisted mind, and in just 90 minutes it conveys all the best we have seen and played in the original game. Unfortunately is too short, and a little bit easy but it's a great experience, unforgettable.

I enjoyed it. Amazing both the signal and the writer. Alan Wake 2 is amazing as well. GOTY both of the games for me.

I enjoyed the writer DLC and would recommend it to anyone who played and liked the base game! Worth it!

Better than the first DLC but didn't blow my socks off. I think my big problem is the enemy variety is lacking.

This DLC is a bit better then the previous one but still pretty useless and boring.

This DLC is absolutely amazing and better than the signal in my opinion, it changes the formula and manages to impress a lot. This DLC continues the story right after the signal with some impressive fighting. After, you get to do some platforming which some people didn't like but I just loved it, every platform element manages to impress and the gameplay overall never suffers. I'm proud of both DLC's and this DLC is just amazing, i can't wait for the Alan Wake sequel.

Sometimes I don't really get the ones down-rate for "no multiplayer", "short gameplay time" ... This is a highly story oriented game around one man's journey, not a free for all fest in the forest. And for God's sake, this is just a DLC for less than 300 MS points now! This second Special Feature Episode is a true sequel and a great ending to Alan Wake: Season One. Several secrets are revealed now, several questions answered - most of them about The Signal, of course - and they still left the season ending open in a smart way that both DLC players and the ones who missed them can connect the parts of the story, continue with Alan Wake 2 (titled as 'Return' maybe?) The atmosphere is still gripping, the scenes are twisting (oh yeah) and although several parts have the talented and spectacular, fast paced action, (the lighthouse scene is simly fantastic!) there are still enough emotional and unfolding scenes in The Writer to shine it's drama side. - It worths every points!
Thanks Remedy! I'm waiting for Alan Wake : Return!
