    This game has kept my interest. Following a prebuilt storyline that can be modified to as a story writer is an interesting concept. Mix that with some jump scare and shooting makes for a good time. Looking forward to seeing this game through to the end.

    Amazing followup sequel to one of the my favorite franchises in gaming history. I already bought the digital version of the game for xbox series x when it first released. However, it being on of my beloved franchises, when they announced that they would release a physical version of the game i had to buy. The visuals are stunning and are even more enhanced with the ps5 pro. Gripping story that is narrated beautifully. Game of the year candidate for sure.

    This game is awesome. It really feels like Remedy made a game they just wanted to make; not to appease executives or solely for the sake of money. If you liked Alan Wake 2, or more so, Control, you’ll like this game. Particularly enjoyed how this games connects with most of Remedy’s other games, as well. Great visuals, unique style, compelling story, and good gameplay make this a must-play.

    I never had the chance to play the original Alan wake. This takes care if that while also delivering on a entirely new and mesmerizing atmosphere in one if the most beatiful games ive ever played - Alan Wake II. Melancholic, hauntingly pretty, and thrilling. Id say this is a must for any gamer and especially for a collection.

    Loved the first Alan Wake back in 2010. This game takes it to another level. The long wait was worth it. Gameplay, story, characters, music, sound, world, etc. all great. A masterpiece and highly recommended.

    Superb game. If you've played Alan Wake 1, Quantum Break, Max Payne, or Control, this is a game that builds on and from each. It borders on the strange, but is a joy to play and immerse yourself in. Sets up a Control sequel, and teases what Jack Joyce has been up to, albeit via a different name because Microsoft won't let go of Quantum Break. if you haven't played Alan Wake 1, it's essential to understand a lot of what's happening. Thankfully, this comes with that game too digitally.

    This is such a far superior game to the original shallow and incompetent Horror-lite feel. And while this is a departure from the original game I think it's instead how the original game should've been. In my opinion at least. this is much more fun and immersive and less of that Resident Evil 4 arcade like feel the original had. Alan Wake 2 is a bit of investigation, a bit of exploration, a lot of weird horror, and some decent shooting, all rolled inside an amazing looking game. And as a bonus this brings a digital version of Alan Wake Remastered. So rejoice or whatever.

    Better than the original, remedy does it again with adding macabre tones. A good thriller experience.

    I love everything to do with the 'Remedy-verse'. I don't know why I slept on picking up the sequel for so long, this is easily one of the most memorable and surreal experiences I've had playing a game.

    Great game, good price! One of the best story-driven games of the past few years. Some combat issues at times, but nothing that took away from the overall great experience.

    I’m about halfway through this, and I can say that this is visually one the best-looking games every made. The combat, however, can be a little frustrating at times. Aiming feels a bit awkward and your character turns like a semi-truck. Otherwise, the atmosphere and storytelling are top-notch.

    I was a fan of the first Alan Wake and played it quite a few times over the years on the Xbox 360. Now I did enjoy this game a lot, but it does have a lot of added things that I thought bogged down the experience a bit. The first game had a lot more action, while this one has added some detective work and a game mechanic where you have to fiddle with the environment until you get the correct one to proceed. While some of it is kind of neat in a technical way it does make the game a little tedious. Overall, this game is what I might call a slow burn. Wake 2 does have its share of amazing moments and I enjoyed the story quite a lot. It does have its fair share of dull sections as well, however. Kind of hard to recommend to anyone who might be expecting way more action. I still liked it though.
