    Second play through in 2023 on XSX in back compatibility. Still great fun for over 10 hours in 60 FPS and 540p :)

    If there was "Stephen King, the Video Game," this would be it. A thriller/horror/shooter that may not have aged extremely well, but was a standout at it's release.

    One of the most boring games I have ever played. 90% of it is just you running around in the woods, fighting shadow monsters by shining a flash light into their faces and shoot them.

There's not even a melee attack to mix up the combat, there's only a dodge button, which works inconsistently. One of the most annoying aspect of the enemies is that they can throw axes so accurately that if you are one mile away from them or sprinting they can still easily hit you.

    This is a survival horror game, right? Well you have 4 weapons in the whole game and don't think that sparing resources for later is important, because you lose your weapons after each chapter.

    The friendly AI is broken. Sometimes the game asks you to follow them, but they follow you instead, until you find where to go. In combat they kill the enemies before you have the chance to think about how you gonna approach the situation.

    The story is a mess, starting a lot of plot threads that leads nowhere, the protagonist is also one dimensional.    … Expand

    There's really nothing like it, yes it's strange and the line delivering from the characters are intentionally blocky, but this game nails atmosphere like no other! Scarier than any Resident Evil or Dead Space, despite the lack of any gore. A must play!

    Excellent atmosphere and style, if only the writing doesn't constantly fall flat, along with the incredibly boring protagonist.

    This game is mediocre. Stephen King wanna be plot and repetitive, unremarkable gameplay. The game is also glitchy. Don't bother. Play something from Resident Evil instead.

    Bright Falls is a beautiful place... but the thing is, not much happens there. Alan Wake is a well oriented game, cut short by its lack of challenge. Once you get the hang of killing the "taken", that's it: dozens of rounds of this await you. And you better love trekking, because you'll be doing that a LOT (with a character that can't run for over 5 seconds).

    A special mention for the    Bright Falls is a beautiful place... but the thing is, not much happens there. Alan Wake is a well oriented game, cut short by its lack of challenge.

    A special mention for the woods & the lighting effects, which look awesome and alive, although under-exploited. The controls never feel tight - neither character movement nor driving. The former is especially annoying throughout the platforming parts, which although overly easy, become frustrating at times. Lack of better control also kills the scarce peak moments of the game. Not to mention the lack of progression feeling, as you're taken away all weaponry every now and then, just to retake it in the next level - not great. The little elements of platforming & puzzling are welcome, but so shallow and bland, that don't really add much. The narrative that ties it all together is interesting but not perfect either: the humor isn't very adult, the goofy character is unnecessary, the fantastic plot gets over the top at times, the dream-within-a-dream is already old. The running around & collecting stuff formula suffers from a dull gunplay, with very few weapons and a single enemy formula.

    Overall, the experience becomes somewhat flat and lacks the magic of great games. You'll feel annoyed by its defects more often than thrilled by its high points, which are very few.    … Expand

    This game is one of my favorite Xbox 360 games for a reason. The gameplay is well thought out, the graphics are still good and the episode structured story is masterful. There are only few game studios that can craft interesting and thought-provoking games with the same quality as Remedy. Alan Wake is an underrated piece of art and a must-have for everyone.

    Alan wake is a 3d person action horror game where you play as Alan wake, an author who goe on a little vacation with his wife, only for the pages of his manuscrips to start becoming reality in this cabin town..
    The story here is the absolute best part of this grown up version of luigis mansion.. told cross 7 hours and 6 episodes.. eveyr character in this wold has you intrigued, wanting to solve their mysteriesā€¦ alan wake does suffer from pacing problems, but only slightly.. for the most part the pacing is great as youll get a nice calm beginning at the beginning of each new episode, until eventually its night time.. youll be taking on these dark ghost like ratures that like in luigis mansion, you have to shine your flash light on them to make them vulnerable, but instead of sucking them up, you blast them away.. going from lamp post to lmap post, healing yourself and getting to a checkpoint.. and levels here are super linear, but in a great way.. the game gets to the point in delivering you its experience, youre not running around not knowing what to do.. you know what to do.. where it is you have to go to do it.. and I love it.. especially with how games are now, obsessed with wasting your time just to say their game is 100 hours long.. its nice to play through a game with no fillerā€¦ most of the game does take place in the foret, which brings me to the pacing problemsā€¦ I do love that despit taking place in the same setting for most of the game, they manage to make the forest feel different enough each time youre in itā€¦ but I felt like youre thrown into combat way too frequentloy, and the combat is just so unfun how how often it happens.. again you have to flash enemies with yur flashlight before you can shoot them.. so youll be running around collectin nergizer batteries to try and blast their faces, but the batteries last like 3 seconds before they need recharged.. why would energizer want their named attachd to rechargeable batteries that die in 3 scondsā€¦ combat is just annoying and frustrating.. I also would run into issues after id collect the shotgun where the game would stop shooting, but I did play on pc.. cant confirm if this is a known issue on xbox.. but another annoyance I have with this game is how often alan loses all of your guns and ammo you spend time collectingā€¦ im the type of person to save my good stuff when when I need it.. in alan wake, if you have it, use it because for all you know youre about to get in a car crash for the 27th time and lose verything you haveā€¦ youre constantly having to recollect your gear as the story plays out.. its annoying for again how ffrequent combat is..
    Ovrall though Alan Wake is a really special game with an amazing story.. it isnā€™t necessarily scary, but its erie and creepy, and definitely worth going back and playing.

    Most of the game is walking through the woods, and more walking through the woods. That, plus the non stop flashlight tag with the enemies before you can shoot them, makes the game very bland.

    Alan Wake is a very dull protagonist overall. The other characters are meant to be endearing, but mostly everyone is just irritatingly odd. I never really got in to Twin Peaks either, so that might tell you something.

    The controls and shooting aren't the greatest, either. Every death feels cheap and having the darkness throw objects at you made me put the game down in frustration for quite a while.

    The only redeeming thing about this game is that it is referenced quite a bit in the game Control, which is a far superior experience. I'm glad I played it through if only to get those references.    … Expand

The story was the best part, and the driving force behind me finishing this. The core gameplay is repetitive, although I felt like the devs did their best to add variety in this world, the core gameplay is still the same throughout. Overall mechanics and graphics are serviceable, but it still feels dated compared to other games. Combat is initially enjoyable, but when that fatigue and repetitiveness hit, it hit hard, and I had to put this game down a couple of times, even though the story hooked me. Combat is basically loot and shoot everything, but make sure it's "defense" is down first with the flashlight. Characters were pretty horror-standard, with barry coming off as pretty cringe. Ending was ok.

    Seen a lot of Xbox fans praising this game, I think it's decent. This game has potential is what it has. If giving a bigger budget, and more gameplay ambition, it could easily blow up to be a big horror ip.    … Expand

    My only complaint with the gameā€”and I mean my ONLY complaint with the gameā€”is that it was a little too easy.

It took away a bit from the suspense and fear of what might be around the cornerā€”if the supplies had been more limited and the challenges a little more difficult, this would have been a real nail-biter. I played on Normal difficulty.

    With that being said, I loved the story (it was like playing a good Stephen King novel), the graphics were fabulous especially for 2010, the music was creepy and nailed the right tone, and the gameplay was based on good ideas and executed well (with the aforementioned caveat).

    A hearty recommendation from me. This was a really, really good time.    … Expand

    Amazing game. Remedy continues their Max-Payne like dark style of story-telling. Great atmosphere , very alive cutscenes , considering 2010 HW limitations. Music , presentation , eerie sounds, everything feels alive. There are some flaws in combat system , but i easily forgot them , being caught by plot and "something-extraordinary-should-happen-right-now" feeling.

    Played it in 2020. That was exiting experience: interesting storyline, creepy inventory and cool narrative. The gameplay hasn't aged well, and the control is quite poor, but it's a great game for all the game pass members.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alan Wake feels like a Stephen King story with less complex horror and a little comedy. The game looks very good for a 2010 Xbox 360 game, although the character models look a little outdated. The story is a little confusing, but not as bad as Control's weird story. Alan's movement was better than I remember but the car controls felt stiff and like a PS2 game. Some of the characters that were there for comic relief were probably my least favorite part of the game, but some of the jokes they told were still pretty funny. Darkness being your enemy isn't a new concept, but Alan Wake makes it feel brand new, by making the darkness possess people from the town and turn them against you. Episode 6, the final episode of the game, was to get to Cauldron Lake but that pretty boring but felt rewarding when I beat it. The soundtrack is absolutely perfect, especially the original songs made for the game. I would highly recommend you to play this game.… Expand

    A twisty 3rd person shooter that combines The Twilight Zone with Northern Exposure. From the creators of Max Payne, the game takes the form of episodic television. It's a smartly written yarn with sharp graphics and enjoyable (if repetitive) gameplay. Fans of Silent Hill should get a kick out of this. I would rate this with an 8.3 out of 10.

    For sure if you are into Stephen King's stories or Twin Peaks, this is THE game for you. A wonderful mystery thriller mixed with really satisfying action elements. After 7 years it's release I still tend to replay it every year. I truly hope Remedy will continue Alan's story as it left us with many questions unanswered.

To this day, I have beaten the game three times. As a matter of fact, I am going for my fourth now. That is how great I consider this game to be.

From start to finish, the creepy atmosphere, intriguing setting, perfect pacing and interesting characters had me hooked. To this day, I have beaten the game three times. As a matter of fact, I am going for my fourth now. That is how great I consider this game to be. The fun factor is undeniable, especially for gamers who like single-player campaigns. Remedy Entertainmentā€™s head honcho Sam Lake is the brains behind this wonderful game.

    Alan Wake is a famous writer with the dreaded writerā€™s block, so he and his wife Alice decide to take a vacation in the quaint little town of Bright Falls in a fictional Washington state. The setting couldnā€™t be better. The town feels alive, real and genuine. That small-town feel is definitely present, with advertisements everywhere for the annual Deerfest, a cozy little diner, a backwoods trailer park and a ā€œsecludedā€ aura among the townsfolk. Mr. Wake is undoubtedly out of place on his vacation, as he and his wife call New York City their home. Massive mountains, dense fog, flowing streams and small storefronts are just a few of the highlights in the somewhat creepy town of Bright Falls. When a dark presence shrouds the place, Wakeā€™s wife goes missing as he is thrust into a psychological thriller unlike no other, where he must save her and reclaim his sanity. The main cast of characters consists of Alan Wake, Alice Wake, Barry Wheeler, Thomas Zane, Barbara Jagger and Emil Hartman. Of course, there are several others. Aside from Alan and Alice Wake, we have Barry Wheeler, who is Alanā€™s manager and literary agent. He is a standout because of his sens of humor and screen presence. He is a fan favorite. Thomas Zane is a famous poet who visited Bright Falls in the ā€™70ā€™s and former owner of Bird Leg Cabin, the location of Alan and Aliceā€™s vacation. This character is shrouded in mystery and his face is never seen. Barbara Jagger was Zaneā€™s lover and long-time Bright Falls resident. She died after drowning in Cauldron Lake (where Bird Leg Cabin sits). Emil Hartman is a psychiatrist who owns and operates Cauldron Lake Lodge, a psychiatric institution.

    Alan Wakeā€™s presentation is impeccable with its TV-like episodic storytelling which moves along in chapters or ā€œepisodesā€. We already talked about the excellent setting in the pacific Northwest. Gameplay centers around the idea of light vs darkness. Alan is usually equipped with a revolver, flashlight, some flares and batteries. The enemies are known as the ā€œTakenā€ and are invincible at first, but when Wakeā€™s flashlight hits them long enough, they become vulnerable and you are able to kill them. Since the Dark Presence has engulfed Bright Falls, your enemies sometimes become the townsfolk who have been consumed. The game has a perfect difficulty level. It doesnā€™t hold your hand yet at times it seems as if you may not have enough resources to get out of certain areas alive. You will rely on batteries and small amounts of ammo to keep you going. Combat and controls are great. Wake isnā€™t an athlete, he is a writer, so donā€™t expect him to run very far for long. You will have to time your movements and escapes well. The gameplay elements are diverse and engaging, as itā€™s all very fun and rewarding. There things to collect such as thermoses and manuscript pages (which tell you more about the story). You will also encounter televisions and radios that further engross you in the experience and enhance the storytelling. I especially like the ā€œNight Springsā€ television show and KFB-FM radio. These little additions go a long way in the production quality of Alan Wake.

    The game has a brilliant audiovisual presentation. The awesome setting only makes it easier to love. The frame rate never falters, the lighting effects are second to none and the overall sound design is impeccable. I really enjoyed the music, radio station, horrifying and sometimes funny dialogue from enemies and the top-notch voice acting. Everything is so believable and lifelike. Alan Wake makes for a very likable and awesome protagonist too. Get ready to lose yourself in one awesome gaming experience!

    Overall, Alan Wake is nearly flawless and offers one heck of a good time. Itā€™s like taking a vacation to the Pacific Northwest with a huge psychological twist that eventually turns into a flat-out nightmare. You get varied environments, a great cast, superb visuals and sound design, a cool setting and fantastic gameplay. All of Alan Wakeā€™s strengths come together in what culminates as a truly engaging and unforgettable experience, one you will want to revisit time and time again. Letā€™s hope Alan Wake 2 is in the works.    … Expand

    The only downside of the game in my experience was a couple sections where the camera seemed to be unable to center on my character, leaving my open to attack, but the obvious answer of moving out of the corner worked wonders.

    Music was very appropriate and soundtrack available from the game menu will have you playing a couple of your favorites after you've unlocked them in your game.

    However, there is some nitpicking to do, like the sometimes repetitive gameplay (especially noticeable during long gameplay sessions) and that you're mostly outnumbered by the enemies (but that makes the thrill). Otherwise I can't really think of many negative points for Alan Wake. I replayed it surely 6 times, have over hundreds of hours of gameplay spent on it, have it completed to 100% even with the DLC and it's just fun to pick it up again after a long time and enjoy it all over again.

    My first impressions were great. The game looked pretty good and the setting and the atmosphere were great, plus I loved the Twin Peaks references. There's also the traditional Remedy storytelling, which as you might guess is something I greatly appreciate.

    Then the plot kicks in. You find yourself running around in dark forests chased by shadowy enemies than are sensitive to light (and bullets). The gameplay is solid enough, but here's where the problems start. It is, as almost all games today are, a tunnel. Aside from very minor sidepaths, there are no alternate routes or anything. This is pretty disheartening considering the game was supposed to have an open world. Not to mention only having a single path through an entire forest feels pretty dumb.

    Then there's the main character. In a traditional horror fashion, he's portrayed as slow and weak. However, the control scheme is simply too effective. After playing for a while, I realized not a single enemy can ever touch me. A few hours from that, I realized you can pretty much predict all the jump-scares by observing the environment. On a side note, upping the difficulty didn't make the game any harder for me. There are other issues as well, for example the game wanting so badly to be a TV show instead and the shortness of it.

    The plot was pretty nice overall. Even though I've seen other people complain about how it ends, I thought it was pretty fitting. I thought a more open like this is better suited for "a psychological horror" title anyways. The collectibles in this game also deserve a special mention. While there are maybe too many of them, especially considering most of them are really pointless, the book pages that give vague hints of what's about to happen next were a great addition. I feel I need to mention that the extra pages that only appear on the toughest difficulty were the biggest disappointment in the game, though.

    I may have voiced a lot of criticisms, but despite all that, I still played the game through multiple times, collecting everything and so on. It wasn't anywhere near a perfect product, but it was fun and the atmosphere was still great.
    As for the DLCs, while I think they offer some worth, I also think they're like DLCs usually are, which is to say boring. They do more of what the core game does, except everything about it is slightly worse.    … Expand

    An excellent game, feels fresh and unique. The first ten minutes were quite scary, but the rest of the game was not scary at all. I won't call this a horror game. I can't stop playing the game, finish it in two days and never feel bored or rushed. However, the ending to me is not good enough and it decreases the replay value for me. I give this game a solid 7, but since Remedy is a FinnishAn excellent game, feels fresh and unique. The first ten minutes were quite scary, but the rest of the game was not scary at all.

    Alan Wake is finally here, and it's as good as we expected. Rich environments, great story, superb gameplay, many areas to explore, interesting characters... A great game that is not the ambitious project Remedy wanted it to be, but it's glorious anyway.

    Alan Wake lacks that little spark of genious that distinguishes a good game from a masterpiece, an H.P. Lovecraft from your average Stephen King.

    While its not the generation defining game the epic development schedule might've hyped, Alan Wake is still a fantastic, 10-hour-plus play-it-on-the-couch linear action game - with brains required or not depending on your preference.
