    A moody masterpiece!

    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.

    Good, but has some flaws

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Incredible. Blends cinematic vision with spooky vibes. Combat is pretty fun of the mill.

    This game plays out like a movie. That is interactive and has a feel of until dawn/Resident Evil. If you liked the movie seven, you will love this game.

    A great game with a great story! I played the trial on PS plus and wanted the entire game. I bought it from BestBuy and shortly after it went on sale. BestBuy retroactively price matched which was amazing as well!

    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.
