    I feel very disappointed because this DLC absolutely breaks down an immersion built by the original game.

    Totally disappointed with the AWE expansion. After teasing Alan Wake for the last year, they give us a DLC with 10% Alan Wake and 90% rehashed mechanics from the vanilla game. The vast majority of Alan Wake's involvement is as a disembodied voice. A waste of money for Alan Wake fans.

    Not bad DLC for the very nice game, but it could be better. I definitely enjoyed it, like in the main game. Nevertheless, there's not enough some new.

    And some for a note, post-release content doesn't deserve called expansion. It's regular DLCs, not more. The large gaps between the launchers days does not give the whole picture. Hopefully, the studio does a better this job next time.

    I can understand the resentment of the players about the DLC, since there really is very little "dark theme" from AW here. Basically, this is still Control with large empty corridors with the same enemies, and only a few moments/situations associated with the AW theme. However, I still liked it very much. The DLC gives a whole separate floor-location, a couple of new resources and one newI can understand the resentment of the players about the DLC, since there really is very little "dark theme" from AW here.

The DLC gives a whole separate floor-location, a couple of new resources and one new weapon, and each skirmish with darkness is interesting for its game-play(since Jesse does not have skills against darkness, you need to interact with the environment in different ways to go through each such skirmish). I cannot give a high rating, as I expected more, but not just small pieces associated with "Alan's Darkness", but I will not give a low rating either, since it was done with high quality and interesting.… Expand

    Уууух. Наконец я прошел длс для Control. Хочется сказать, что длс удовлетворительного качества. Историю с Аланом не сильно раскрывают, да и сам Алан Вейк здесь как навигатор
    (писатель). Около 3 часа или больше потратил на последнего босса и хочу сказать что это был самый сложный босс из игры. Авторы оставили удел на будущее и теперь ждем возврашение Алана. Оценка 7 баллов из десяти,    Уууух. Наконец я прошел длс для Control. Хочется сказать, что длс удовлетворительного качества.

    Despite some flaws, AWE is a very good expansion that brings Alan Wake into Remedy's shared universe and teases exciting things for the future.

    Both DLCs are mainly there to shed more light on the fantastic world of the original game - and to act as promises of future games. You won’t have as much fun actually playing them, though, mainly due to the frustrating combat.

    I still really love this game world and the mechanics they’ve developed for it. Using Jesse’s powers feels quite intuitive and powerful and is just a joy. If you haven’t grabbed Control already, grab the ultimate edition and you will get AWE with it anyway. If you already have the main game and want to learn more about Alan Wake and related characters then I’d still suggest it’s a worthwhile purchase.
