Oct 7, 2021This 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.
-
Oct 8, 2021A great plot on it, you can shoot serials and films, played for more than 50 hours because I wanted to achieve all the achievements and in the end I succeeded
-
Oct 7, 2021This is very solid remaster, better than i expected. If you have never played it, play this version and not original, this one has been improved a lot.
-
Oct 7, 2021Beautiful, mysterious, at times even scary game. Would recommend, if you have never played it before.
-
Oct 7, 2021I was kind of worried, how much will they actually improve, but seems to be decent job. Textures/lighting looks way better. Draw distance is better than ever. All you need is a decent graphics card.

Oct 7, 2021This is by far one of the best remasters I've played ever, might have some problems with the facial animations, but what can I ask for a remaster that's using a 2010 engine. Apart from that, everything about this remaster is amazing and for the people who haven't played it yet, this is the best moment to do it.
-
Oct 12, 2021Very enjoyable remaster, basically everything has been improved, maybe needs few patches for even better performance, but it runs well enough for me.
-
Oct 12, 2021This is very clearly best version of this game. If anyone doesn't believe, just go watch Digital Foundry video of it. Great game.
-
Oct 13, 2021It should be called Alan Wake Ultimate Edition, because that's what it literally is. Everything looks so much better than before and it was nice looking game already. Would recommend.
-
Feb 14, 2022This game shows how a remaster should be made. One of the best game I have ever played, to which I come back very often. Such unique Stephen King's atmosphere captured. It is almost like reading a book. Thank you Remedy!

Dec 19, 2021We are already looking forward to the freshly announced second part of the series. Fans can directly relive the story with this title and then directly get involved in the sequel in 2023. We are very excited and look forward to the coming hours with "Alan Wake Remastered".
-
Oct 12, 2021I would whole heartedly recommend buying this complete edition, instead of outdated original.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.

Jan 7, 2022Fantastic game from beginning to end… if it had a lvling system it would be complete… maybe like some type of item building or Makin bullets or weapons… but it’s a 10year old game Great story though!! Recommend to anyone on ps5
-
Mar 11, 2022Awesome and kind of underrated game, but that's for understandable reasons, because it was xbox exclusive for a long time. Even tho, it should have lots of PC fans, because it originally came out on PC in 2012 (2010 for xbox). Overall i think this remaster brought lots of new fans into Alan Wake universe and i'm hyped for the sequel. Remedy rarely disappoints.

Sep 15, 2022Having missed the original release, this game has been on my list for far too long. Remastered version is basically the same thing, just brought to modern smoothness and graphical fidelity. It looks good, but pales in comparison to modern titles. However the story is amazing and so are the gameplay mechanics. Controls and repeating enemy types do feel dated, but did not bother me at all.
-
May 31, 2023Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

Oct 6, 2021Just an amazing story with incredibly well built athmosphere coupled with great sounds and music. Never got to play the original. Can't wait for AW2.

+ Control system at height
+ Great sound
+ Looking forward to continuing
Overall score - 10/10 -
Oct 15, 2021This is no doubt about it a underrated games at points sitting with a score to people with a score of 8 to 8.5 but this game is truly a masterpiece and people should give it a try. the remastered version looks beautiful but although people say the graphics didn't change as much in this game, the game in general is just good and one heck of a nightmare.

Oct 12, 2021Thank 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!
-
Jul 6, 2023It's amazing game and finally on PS5, worth a try, before part 2 comes out. Solid underrated gem.

Jul 9, 2022I wanted to play this for a long time and finally did it. And it justified my expectations. One of the best horror experiences i had. The town,characters, the atmosphere is a one of a kind. Definitely a game for fans of Twin Peaks, Stranger Things, and Stephen King books.
-
Oct 7, 2021I have to admit that I was let down, when AW was originally released. Too much hype. But now it feels fresh! And on PS!!!

Aug 28, 2022The game didn't age well. I loved to play original Alan Wake 10 years ago. Still love the story and atmosphere, but the gameplay feels outdated, controls are clumsy and fights are long and boring. Also bugs: visible stutter in cutscenes, also got stuck several times, had to restart checkpoint.
-
Oct 12, 2021the game still pretty much the same so its literarily remastered means if someone already finished the first one there's no need to replay it but still a very unique game anyway with a very unique story and gameplay.
-
Dec 27, 2021Terrible terrible game.
2 games in my entire life did I give up on after 3 hours: this game and death stranding.
Boring gameplay
Super repetitive enemies and weapons
Terrible boring dialogue -

Oct 7, 2021One of my favorite games of all time and all remastered for only $40? AMAZING. The gameplay is still not perfect but overall always a great experience playing this game!

Oct 8, 2021One of the worst games I’ve played. The story is good and could be interesting. but the gameplay is boring and repetitive. Old graphics and stupid AI. Bad purchase on my part.

Oct 9, 2021You don´t always need a full remake to make a beloved game feel fresh again. But considering some of the recent remasters on the market, Alan Wake´s rejuvenation looks rather dull - especially on XBOX Series X and PlayStation 5. Anyway, if you´ve never experienced the mysteries of Bright Falls before, your money´s still well spent.

Jul 5, 2023Boring story, boring mechanics, boring gameplay, controls are from 2005, dont buy it i cant play it even for free from ps plus
-
Oct 16, 2021per trash! starts out kinda fun. then all of a sudden no ammo no direction to many enemies
-
Oct 12, 2021This is nowhere near what people say is one of the most underrated games?
The story was awesome.. the downside however.. will be the gameplay.
The combat is awful and is extremely repetitive.
Story = Good
Combat = Bad
Visuals = Good
Performance = Good
Buy for the story, not for the gameplay. -

Apr 30, 2023Buena historia, tension al maximo en momentos precisos, las velocidades de carga en ps5 son demenciales, lamentablemente el titulo se ve opacado por movimientos ortopedicos y poco fluidos en momentos de plataformeo pero nada que arruine la experiencia de juego, si quieres una historia entretenida y con locos persiguiendote, te recomiendo este titulo.

Jul 15, 2022An enjoyable 10-12 hours.
Pros.
1. Atmosphere of the game is creepy to say the least
2. Gripping story
Cons
1. Graphics not as good as other PS5 titles since it is a remaster, not a remake
2. Combat feels dated -

May 4, 2022Thought this game was fun, The remaster is adequate better graphics but still looks and feels like an older game. Played this in anticipation for Alan Wake 2 looking forward to a modern take on this cool setting. Plus the music is awesome loved it

Oct 12, 2021Good remaster, but i would have never hoped for anything less from one of the most underrated game developers, Remedy Entertainment!
-
Mar 13, 2023This game does not go higher than a 'ok 7'.
I've seen way better games getting rated lower scores than the average 8 I see it scoring here.
Says a lot about rating here on metacritic ofcourse. -
Jul 13, 2023Stay far far away from this garbage. I would rather get my teeth extracted again without any meds afterwards than play this god awful game ever again.
-
Jul 26, 2023cool story but repetitive and boring gameplay. Enemy types are the same throughout the game.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Feb 18, 2022Alan Wake has grown old with all the grace that a similar cult title deserves. It did not lose anything from its personal charm, and although the authors could go a step further in improving animations, it is a great game, which you can find at Sony console for the first time.
-
Nov 30, 2021This is the best version of Alan Wake you can play - but it’s also pretty much identical with the original game and the gameplay definitely feels a bit dated.
-
PLAYNov 17, 2021This PlayStation debut is a straightforward remaster of the original, faults and all. But we still love it. [Issue#8, p.84]
