    I would whole heartedly recommend buying this complete edition, instead of outdated original. Original was amazing, until this version came out. Now, this is the best version of this game.

    The sound of the graph, the elaboration of the plot, everything is perfect - but I would like to see finally part 2 in Steam

    Alan Wake Remastered is a million times better than what I thought it would be. In the modern times, many devs usually launch the exact same game with the word remastered at the end (and sometimes it can look worse), but this one is a full-on remaster with better textures, lightning, character models and facial animations. The voices are exactly the same, but that's amazing because itAlan Wake Remastered is a million times better than what I thought it would be.

    Beautiful, mysterious, at times even scary game. Would recommend, if you have never played it before.

    An excellent remaster, but the face of the main character was not finalized where you were when I went through the original part in Steam :(

    I didn't get the chance to experience Alan Wake when it was first released in 2010. For a long time afterwards I frequently heard about how celebrated it was and how Remedy were brilliant game developers. I was very eager to experience a Remedy game for myself, but unfortunately Quantum Break was an Xbox exclusive that underperformed.

I was very eager to experience a Remedy game for myself, but unfortunately Quantum Break was an Xbox exclusive that underperformed. Thankfully, Remedy released Control in 2019 and I wholeheartedly enjoyed that game (it was easily one of my top 10 games for that year). When Remedy released the second DLC expansion for Control in 2020 entitled AWE, I was excited to learn that AWE would connect Control with Alan Wake and I would finally have the chance to experience a smidgeon of the overall vibe of Remedy's masterpiece. AWE turned out to be a fantastic cross-over, albeit a little cryptic, but it ultimately delivered what it promised.

    When Remedy announced that it would be releasing a remastered version of Alan Wake this year I was pretty ecstatic to be able to finally play the actual game, and now I can finally share what I think of Remedy's opus.    … Expand

    игра все еще выглядит очень хорошо, интересный сюжет. Иногда надоедает геймплей.

    Одна из моих любимых игр теперь с улучшенной графикой. Разработчики подошли очень ответственно к созданию ремастера. Багов не встречал, а все нарекания можно отнести и к оригиналу (если такие есть)

    That was very fun, and a cool story to live out. Just wasn't sure at anytime what was going on with Alan (was he nuts, was he dead, was he dreaming, etc. etc. etc.), but it was so good that I kept trudging along in the dark to try and figure it out. Amazing....

    This game was a pleasant surprise and it turned out to be far better than I expected (I haven't played the original game). It looks like a horror game but it is far more than that because of its interesting story delivered in a cinematic way, which kept me going until the end.

    Partiendo de la base de que es el remaster de un juego que de hace tiempo sabemos que es muy bueno, no le he encontrado nada que me vuele la cabeza o me sorprenda conociendo ya el original. Es obvio que visualmente se ve mejor, pero tampoco es la repanocha. El propio juego en sí es muy entretenido, la premisa en la que se basa y el desarrollo que se hace durante el mismo de toda la trama,Partiendo de la base de que es el remaster de un juego que de hace tiempo sabemos que es muy bueno, no le he encontrado nada que me vuele la cabeza o me sorprenda conociendo ya el original.

El propio juego en sí es muy entretenido, la premisa en la que se basa y el desarrollo que se hace durante el mismo de toda la trama, la manera de contarla (siendo que yo no soy muy fan de los narradores) y demás es muy original y diferente.
    El doblaje es un punto positivisimo, al menos en la versión en castellano.
    El juego es un imprescindible, tienes que jugarlo al menos una vez si te gusta esta industria y disfrutas de los videojuegos. A pesar de darle un 8, se encontraría a mitad de camino del 9, pues es un gran juego pero como remaster la verdad que simplemente es un lavado flojo de cara y poco más.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O jogo é incrível, joguei no Xbox 360 inclusive tenho em mídia física, joguei no Xbox One também, passeia anos admirando esse jogo, pra mim sempre foi um dos melhores jogos de todos os tempos, a história sempre foi perfeita, as DLC que tem pra implementar mais o jogo, e dar aquela atenção pra concluir o arco, quando fiquei sabendo que irá ter o Remaster, fui e fiz a pré venda na hora no meu playstation 4, Microsoft sempre cagou para os teus jogos, deixava de lado os ótimos jogos que tinha, mas Sam Lake reviveu com esse ótimo Remaster, agradeço a ele por trazer esse jogo para todos que nunca jogaram, o jogo tá ótimo.… Expand

    As a huge fan of the legendary Sam Lake, I highly regretted not playing Alan Wake on my Xbox360 when I had the chance... thankfully this remaster granted me the chance to experience such lovely game. Everything is beautifully designed;gameplay,narration,audio design,etc. Highly recommend.

    Это всё тот же Алан, только с расширенными текстурами. Неидеальная игра, но идеальные игры неинтересны. В неё до сих пор интересно играть. Минус бал исключительно за шероховатости текстур. Я не критик, обычный игрок, мне простительно.Это всё тот же Алан, только с расширенными текстурами. Неидеальная игра, но идеальные игры неинтересны. В неё до сих пор интересно играть.

    Great game with amazing atmosphere and aesthetic. This game really encapsulates a Twin Peaks/Ozark vibe that really sells Brightfalls to be an actual place. Gameplay is fun and the story is intriguing but has a lacklustre ending. Characters are fun and likeable, each possessing a camp charm. DLC is intresting and nice bit of extra content.

    A few nitpicks I have is that Alan's stamina is    Great game with amazing atmosphere and aesthetic.

    A few nitpicks I have is that Alan's stamina is fairly annoying as running for 5 seconds results in about 10/15 seconds of resting which also results in making the dodge mechanic useless. Igniting a Flare sends the camera into a disorientating 360 degree when surrounded by enemies, which is cool initially but gets tedious quite quickly.

    Nitpicks aside, this game is definitely worth a go for it's unique story and gameplay.    … Expand

    Great horror game! it starts slow but it's really worth it. It reminded me of Silent Hill.

    This is basically same, what Resident Evil 4 did with Ultimate HD Edition. No ghosting effect anymore, better textures, better draw distance, improved cutscenes, better foliage. Absolutely the best version of this game from now on.

    Very good much needed comeback / remaster for Alan Wake. Despite releasing in 2010 (xbox) and 2012 (PC) it still shines almost like a brand new game, all thanks to this remaster. It's amazing game, but both previous versions were pretty outdated and this game deserved remaster more than anything. PC version was very good by 2012 standards, but playing it now clearly shows it's issues. ThisVery good much needed comeback / remaster for Alan Wake.

In general, looks better than ever! I'm very happy with remaster.… Expand

    Thank you Remedy for bringing back Alan Wake!!! One of the last video game developers, who actually are trying to innovate/do something different. Extreme hype for Alan Wake 2!

    While it could always be more, let's be real here, they did great job. The fact that they even cared to remaster it and bring to other consoles as well is big deal.

    Alan Wake Remastered is basically the same game that came out in 2010 with its pros and cons remaining intact. If you're a fan or want more context as to what Control's AWE DLC was all about, it might be worthwhile. Otherwise, it's best saved for an on-sale pickup.
