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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

This is by far my favorite survival horror/action game since RE4. The first AW was alright, didn’t get much into it like some people, but this one was amazing! A true next gen experience!

So far the story and the gameplay itself has been super amazing. Got this as a gift for someone, and we were just looking around for horror like games to play during October. The first game was very good! We started the second game and so far nothing to complain about it. I did like that this version came with both 1 and 2.

When I played the first Alan. Wasn’t sure what I had really gotten. Played it and enjoyed every minute of it. Not on a RE level but good. Again not RE level. But man oh man I really like AW2.
