Everything about this game from the gameplay to the story and graphics are so much better than part 1. If you liked the first one you must play this one.

Alan Wake 2 stands as a significant departure within the horror genre, offering a distinctive and standalone experience that sets it apart from many contemporary titles. Its unique approach to storytelling and atmosphere creates a compelling, immersive world for players to explore.

This game comes with the original alan wake, and all AW2 dlcs. Its a beautiful game with a compelling story. This game has me wanting to upgrade to upgrade a ps5pro just to experience it again in a better way.

A great horror story that builds off of its previous entry over 13 years before. The mechanics and game design is some of the most fun and creative ive seen.

Awesome game. The plot is complex but, well written and, even though it gets a bit psychedelic at times, it is still very fun to play through the story and get immersed in its very intriguing journey. The action scenes and gameplay are very intense so I can see why it got so many awards.

Best Buy must not have an email because they could not provide me with one even though I asked multiple times. So I will provide the pictures here. It truly was not entirely their fault or maybe even their fault at all. But the game was packed in basically just a sleeve. NO bubble wrap, NO box, or any kind of cushion. I'm truly disappointed that the game came damaged the way it did. I have been issued a replacement but the principle still stands

Playing this has been an unforgettable experience. Playing through the remastered first game was the perfect way to get into Alan's world, cause I've never played before. It's fast tho, like 10+ hours, but the sequel took everything to the next level. The visuals are obv stunning, the atmosphere is gripping, and the story had me hooked from start to finish. I loved the mix of tension and discovery, with every detail immersing me deeper. If you’re into cinematic storytelling and psychological horror, this is an absolute must-play. The way it's set up as episodes of a show is very original imho.

This is my first time playing Alan wake. I haven't played the first one yet. The game played smooth except for in the very beginning. When your on your first case. You can run into a bug. And you won't be able to access the map or your case board. And without completing the case board. You cannot move on. The only fix is to restart the game. Luckily this happens in the very beginning. After this, the game played flawlessly. The story is really good. And the atmosphere can get scary at times. Especially with the random jump scares. While there is action. This isn't a typical just run around shoot something up like call of duty. You spend alot of time trying to advance cases and find portals to get to a new scene. It's great game. It's on own class, there's not another game I can think of that's the same. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a mix of horror and action.

Since this comes with a code for Alan Wake 1: I'll review that first - it doesn't particularly hold up. I played it back when it first released on the Xbox 360, and the graphics are extremely dated, the combat is mediocre, and the acting is painfully bad. However, the story is at least interesting, so I think it's worth replaying before trying the sequel.
As for Alan Wake II, there's a lot to like about it. It looks nice, it's very atmospheric, it has interesting characters, and its storyline is very creative. However, there are some problems. For one, the combat is pretty bad. There's little enemy variety, and the controls are clunky. I often felt like I was losing fights for reasons outside of my control, and eventually had to turn the difficulty down because I wasn't enjoying the game on Normal.
I also had some technical issues, including the game crashing on me once (forcing me to re-watch some dialogue when I restarted), sometimes the checkpoints are too far apart and I wound up losing progress due to a cheap death, and level boundaries are weirdly defined. I accidentally died wandering out of bounds once.
Lastly, while I like the characters and the story has some interesting thematic elements, it was also very hard to follow. It was hard to keep track of what was real, certain character motivations, etc.
At the very least, I did enjoy it as a whole, and I would recommend it. But I would recommend the Resident Evil and Silent Hill games over it.
Lastly, this Deluxe Edition contains the DLC, and I will say that I enjoyed the mini-stories, and did not have the same issues with them as I did the main game. I would highly recommend that anyone who purchases this Edition check them out!

You get a lot with this game and it’s definitely a blast! It’s more survival horror than the first game, so you have to use your items sparingly. You also get the DLC and the original Alan Wake (downloaded).

Just started the first Alan wake and so far it’s been great. People say it’s a good game so I decided to try it. This comes with two games so it’s a good buy. I can’t wait to play this
