This atmospheric action-horror delivers Stephen King-esque chills and a gripping mystery, even if its gameplay feels stuck in the past. 80/100 – a cult classic with rough edges

Buena historia, con los toques justos de terror que estoy dispuesto a soportar.

Alan Wake might as well be the video game that exists between episodes of Bright Falls. The light mechanic is occasionally good but most of the time the game is a mediocre third-person shooter trying to stretch 8-hours of content into 12. I did enjoy the Twin Peaks-vibe, the twisty plot, and Barry's character arc but all-in-all Alan Wake seems to be a better concept than game.

Great atmosphere and unique writing. But the constant point A to point B and fighting becomes a slog overtime.

The camera angle is so incredibly awkward and makes it unplayable.

Overly repetitive gameplay over a story that doesn't really make sense.

Loved the atmosphere. Cool story, definitely has a bit of Twin Peaks vibe. Also watch the 'Bright Falls' webisodes, they are cool.

Just a good game. So it's going to get this rating. Nothing special about this or anything. However it has a unique thing in this game that it's like a t.v show and it recaps the chapters you did.

As a Twin Peaks fan I really wanted to like this game. This game does not deserve to be liked, though. Rarely have I screamed in frustration over any other game beside the Soulsborne games in my adult years, but this one triggers me within the first 3 hours, and it's due to very poor gameplay design, not difficulty. The game is also beautiful in daylight, but most of it takes place during the dark. Such a wasted opportunity. The story was even kiiiiinda promising, but also very predictable.

A writer struggling with his own mind- the concept seems neat to investigate, but really, I felt like the journey was empty. I didn't feel like anything was resolved.

As much as I enjoyed playing through this interesting take on third person horror, I can't give it more than a 75. An interesting story, broken up into an almost cringey 'episodic' format with chapters broken up into episodes that recap exactly what you've already seen if you're playing from one chapter to the next continuously. Gameplay, whilst it can be quite frantic, boils down to aim light then shoot. The headshots are satisfying at least.

The legitimately haunting atmosphere went out the window once I reached the "possessed harvester" boss level. But great story.

A narrative masterpiece that plays like a great Dean Koontz or Stephen King novel. Solid, although at times repetitive gameplay combined with compelling characters and storytelling.

A very engaging Stephen King pastiche. The controls are inelegant but they're worth wrestling with for everything else the game has to offer.

Game design and story are great. Some goofy mechanics aside, it's a good play.
