Alan Wake ist ein Durchschnittstyp mit Dreitagebart und nachdenklichem Blick der eines besonders gut kann, nämlich Horrorgeschichten Schreiben. Im gleichnamigen Spiel übernimmt er die Titelrolle in einer mysteriösen Geschichte die geheimnisvoller nicht sein könnte. Vielleicht kommen währenddessen ja auch ganz andere Qualitäten von ihm zum Vorschein?

Eigentlich leistete seine Freundin Alice ja einen grossen Beitrag daran, dass Alan Wake mit seinen Romanen im Horrorgenre zum bekannten und erfolgreichen Schriftsteller avancierte. Seit der Bekanntschaft mit ihr wurde er des öfteren von Alpträumen Heim gesucht welche ihm als perfektes Material für seinen Bestseller dienten. Versteht das jetzt nicht falsch, sie hatten sich gern und alles war perfekt. Seltsamerweise ist die gute Frau nun verschwunden und keiner weiss wohin oder was überhaupt geschehen ist. Dieser Vorfall und die Suche nach Alice macht unserem Hauptdarsteller schwer zu schaffen, er ist übermüdet und leidet an Erschöpfung. Zu allem übel schreibt er doch gerade an einem neuen Buch, doch in dieser Verfassung geht schon mal gar nichts! Was hilft da einem mehr, als für ein paar Tage in die Berge zu fahren um mal gründlich zu entspannen? Aus diesem Grund sucht Alan eine Schlafklinik im abgelegenen Ort Bright Falls an der Ostküste von Washington auf.

Schon nach kurzer Zeit fühlt er sich wohler, aber auch das hält nicht lange. An einer Autogrammstunde taucht eine geheimnisvolle Frau auf mit der bitte, ihr Buch zu signieren - seltsamerweise sieht sie seiner vermissten Freundin sehr ähnlich. Schon bald wird er wieder von furchtbaren Alpträumen geplagt und der schöne Ort Bright Falls wird immer rätselhafter…

Episodische Inhalte: Die Story vonAlan Wake orientiert sich an den einzelnen Missionen. Dies führt zu einer episodenhaften Erzählstruktur, wie man sie aus den besten Fernsehserien kennt. Mit dem Voranschreiten der Episoden entwickelt sich auch das Gameplay weiter, neue Elemente und Charaktere werden eingeführt und ziehen den Spieler tiefer in ihren Bann.

Realistische Umgebung: Erlebt wie nie zuvor eine spannende Realität, in der sich Änderungen von Wetter- und Lichtverhältnissen auf das Gameplay auswirken.Sucht die Wahrheit hinter den Schrecken um euch herum und erkundet dabei alle Aspekte der detailgetreuen Stadt am nördlichen Pazifik.

Weit reichende Welt: Während ihr den Geheimnissen von Bright Falls nachgeht, könnt ihr die offene Umgebung erkunden und euch völlig frei darin bewegen.Bei eurer Suche nach Hinweisen, die in der ganzen Stadt verteilt sind, müsst ihr auf jedes noch so kleine Detail achten.

Brutaler Kampf: Bei Einbruch der Nacht gehen die Angriffe der Kreaturen los, und je länger Alan in Bright Falls bleibt, desto länger werden die Nächte.Seine Feinde scheinen ihre Kraft aus der Dunkelheit zu schöpfen, und so wird schon bald das Licht sein bester Verbündeter. Kombiniert die Nutzung des Lichts mit konventionelleren Waffen, um die Mächte zurückzuschlagen, die sich in der Dunkelheit verbergen.

[h1] Urlaub mit unverhofften Folgen [/h1]
Ihr seid ein gestresster Buchautor aus der rastlosen Stadt New York, der bereits mehrere Bestseller redigiert hat, aber zurzeit leidet ihr an einer Kreativitätsblockade. Als Abhilfemaßnahme bucht ihr mir eurer Gattin einen Urlaub in einer abgelegenen Bergstadt an einem mysteriösen See. Dort in der Nähe lasst ihr Euch in ein Ferienhaus nieder. Nach einem kurzen Augenblick der Unaufmerksamkeit verschwindet eure Frau, entführt von dunklen Kräften, die besitzergreifend hinsichtlich der ganzen Stadt sind und Menschen befallen.
Wird die Dunkelheit über Euch oder Ihr mit eurem Taschenlampenlicht über die Dunkelheit siegen? Probiert es am besten selber aus!

Alan Wake
Horror Shooter von 2012.

Etwas zum Spiel.
Du bist ein Schriftsteller und deine Frau verschwindet im Urlaub.
Du liest gerade dein Buch das du geschrieben hast, du bist dir aber nicht sicher das du die Seiten geschrieben hast die du gerade ließt.
Dein Geist ist ziemlich umnebelt als du die Seiten ließt, irgendwie bist du nun Teil des Thrillers.
Die Anwesenheit von etwas Dunklem verfolgt die Kleinstadt Bright Falls und bringt Wake an den Rand seines Verstands, als er um die Lösung des Mysteriums und die Rettung seiner Liebe kämpft.

Je tiefer du in das Mysterium hinein gerätst, umso mehr begegnest du einer überwältigenden Übermacht, unerwarteten Wendungen in der Handlung und Abenteuern, deren Ausgang nicht abzuschätzen ist.
Meine Eindringungstiefe in dieses Spiel beträgt 20 Minuten, dann habe ich diesen Mist in den Papierkorb verschoben.

Das Spiel beginnt damit das du einen Leuchtturm erreichen musst.
Der Weg dorthin wird dir aber verstellt von Geistwesen die dich angreifen und der Weg selbst will auch nicht das du dort ankommst.
Auf den ersten Metern wirst du andauernd angegriffen. Um die Bösen Geister los zu werden steht dir ein Revolver und eine Taschenlampe zur Verfügung die jedoch ein echter Stromfresser ist. Dann kannst du auch noch eine Leuchtpistole nutzen. Zudem kannst du Weglaufen oder Ausweichen. Leider ist die Steuerung bzw, die Reaktion darauf nicht ebend gerade gut gemacht.
Die Nutzung von Licht ist der entscheidene Faktor.
Nur durch Beherrschung der Kämpfe mit Licht Kampfmechanik kannst du die Gegner Vernichten und dem dunkel, das sich über Bright Falls ausbreitet, immer einen Schritt voraus sein.

Wie oben schon angedeutet ist die Art wie das Spiel gespielt wird so rein gar nicht nach meinem Geschmack. Wie es scheint ist es einfach nur ein Ballerspiel mit einer Story als Hintergrund. Von daher ist es wohl nur für Spieler geeignet die Spaß an sinnentleerten Geballer haben. Für alle anderen ganz klares no. Ich werde es jedenfalls nicht empfehlen.

Alan Wake
Horror shooter from 2012.

Something about the game.
You are a writer and your wife disappears on vacation.
You are reading your book that you have written, but you are not sure that you have written the pages you are reading.
Your mind is pretty foggy when you read the pages, somehow you are now part of the thriller.
The presence of something dark haunts the town of Bright Falls and wakes Wake to the edge as he struggles to solve the mystery and save his love.

The deeper you get into the mystery, the more you encounter an overwhelming superiority, unexpected turns in the plot and adventures, the outcome of which cannot be estimated.
My depth of penetration into this game is 20 minutes, then I put this crap in the trash.

The game starts with you having to reach a lighthouse.
The way there is blocked by spirit beings that attack you and the way itself does not want you to get there.
You are under constant attack for the first few meters. To get rid of the evil spirits you have a revolver and a flashlight at your disposal which is a real power guzzler. Then you can also use a flare gun. You can also run away or dodge. Unfortunately, the control or the response to it is not exactly well done.
The use of light is the key factor.
Only by mastering the battles with light combat mechanics can you destroy the enemies and always be one step ahead of the dark that spreads over Bright Falls.

As already indicated above, the way the game is played is not at all to my taste. It seems like it's just a shooting game with a story as the background. Therefore, it is probably only suitable for players who have fun with senseless balls. For everyone else very clear no. I will not recommend it anyway.

Here you will find my group and my archive with over 1,000 reviews. Enjoy browsing.

Der Autor Alan Wake leidet unter akuter Schreibblockade. Er zieht sich mit seiner Frau Alice in ein kleines Haus auf einer Insel zurück, doch irgendwann verschwindet seine Frau und mit ihr auch das Haus. Was hat Alan da nur geschrieben?

Pro:
- Interessante und tiefgreifende Geschichte
- Soundtrack und Grafik passend zum Geschehen

Con:
- Das Spiel ist sehr repetitiv. Kurz zusammengefasst: Man leuchtet Feinde an (dadurch werden sie verwundbar) und knallt sie dann ab. Der Weg von A nach B wird durch vom Himmel fallende Gegenstände künstlich verlängert und der Spieler schiesst sich dann erneut durch, bis das nächste Objekt vom Himmel fällt.

Die Bewertung von Alan Wake ist schwierig. Einerseits finde ich die Geschichte ziemlich spannend und in den ersten 3-4 Stunden waren auch die actionreichen Passagen erfrischend und spassig. Durch das repetitive Gameplay ging dann dieser Spass verloren und ich konnte das Spiel nicht mehr wirklich geniessen.

Grafisch 1a, doch es ist die die Steuerung, die das Spielerlebnis versaut. Idee klasse, Schreckmomente prima,die Kämpfe sind bisweilen ganz schön beklemmend, aber die Steuerung...
Bei der Entwicklung sollte man eben auch mal Spieler fragen. Note 2 bis 2,5.

Mir reichts...nach 7 Std. Spielzeit hab ich nun endgültig die Nase voll. 7 Std. ... nicht weil man schon so weit gekommen ist, nein.... man spielt auf normal und stirbt durchweg durch das unfaire eintönige Kampfsystem. Die nervigen Gegner, die IMMER die Selben sind und dazu noch zahlreich. Diese müssen mit der Taschenlampe angeleuchtet werden damit sie überhaupt Schaden nehmen.... nur kann man immer nur einen anstrahlen, die Anderen haben dich dann längst schon getroffen ehe du reagieren kannst. Vom Munitionsmangel ganz zu Schweigen. Anstelle von Spielspaß, ist man nur noch genervt und frustriert. Ich kann die positiven Reviews nicht nachvollziehen. Von mir definitiv keine Kaufempfehlung!

Titel: Alan Wake

Alan Wake... ja, so heißt das Spiel, aber auch gleichzeitig der Charakter, den man steuert. Ihr seid ein berühmter Autor, doch leidet gerade unter Schreibblockade. Um dies zu lösen, begibt ihr euch gemeinsam mit eurer Frau nach Bright Falls. Ruhe, Natur und frische Luft. Vielleicht löst das den ganzen Stress.

Doch es kommt alles andere als Ruhe und Frieden auf. Die Stadt wirkt jede Sekunde seltsamer und nachts werden dunkle Gestalten gesichtet. Doch als wäre das nicht genug. Alan findet Manuskripte, die er angeblich geschrieben haben soll.. nur er erinnert sich null daran.

Das Spielprinzip ist einfach, aber dennoch clever gehalten. Eure Feinde sind von der Dunkelheit umhüllt. Eine einfache Kugel in den Kopf bringt wenig. Um genauer zu sein, gar nichts. Also braucht man was, um gegen die Dunkelheit anzukommen. Das wäre Licht. Nachdem man den Feind paar Sekunden beleuchtet hat, bricht die Hülle und man kann auf ihn einschießen.

An Licht kommt man durch verschiedene Aktionen. Die häufigste Art wäre von Alans Taschenlampe. Die Taschenlampe hat man meistens per Hand direkt Griff bereit, doch sie verbraucht Batterie. Eine andere Möglichkeit wären Flares, Blendgranaten oder sogar die Leuchtpistole. Die sind besonders wirkungsvoll und löschen Feinde direkt aus, aber sind ziemlich selten zu finden. Letzteres wären Objekte in eure Umgebung à la Feuerwerkskörper, Straßenlaternen oder Autoscheinwerfer.

Ob ihr die Dunkelheit jemals verjagen oder auslöschen könnt, müsst ihr selbst herausfinden.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2302108869
Positiv:

+ Grafik kann sich nach all den Jahren noch sehen lassen
+ cooles Spielprinzip
+ Atmosphäre kommt super rüber
+ Story ist spannend bis zum Schluss
+ Sound passt immer
+ Charaktere haben alle tiefe
+ verschiedene Hilfsmittel, um das böse zu bekämpfen
+ deutsche Stimmen hören sich klasse an
+ Tastatur + Maus oder Kontroller, beides lässt sich steuern
+ manchmal nette Rätsel
+ KI arbeitet in den meisten Fällen gut mit
+ zwei DLCs extra im Hauptspiel drin

Negativ:

- Videosequenzen sehen richtig schlimm aus
- manche Passagen passen nicht zum Spiel ([spoiler]Die Kletterszene im zweiten DLC[/spoiler])

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2301568479
Fazit:

Mit Taschenlampe und Revolver eine Nachtwanderung im Wald. Ein Actionspiel mit einer Prise Horror. Klare Kaufempfehlung für den Preis.

★★★★★ ★★★☆☆ 8/10 Punkte

Отличный сюжет и потрясающая атмосфера. Не самый стандартный геймплей, но это не значит, что плохой. Однако, есть в нём свои недочёты, как мне кажется. Но не об этом. В целом, идея и реализация моё почтение. Очень порадовали вайбы кайндоф фильмов слешеров касательно окружения. Отдельный респект за музло, Боуи в конце особенно порадовал.

Ещё во времена иксбоксовской версии у меня была вроде копия, но я даже не помню играл ли. Так что только сейчас открыл для себя стоящий продукт. По тем годам и вовсе великолепная игра.

The gameplay isn't great, but it isn't terrible either but holy fudge the story is by far the best story I have ever played in a video game and in my opinion the immersiveness and storytelling of this game is 10/10 top notch and can hardly get any better than this.

If you like H.P Lovecraft, Stephen King and other writers, you are doing a great disservice to yourself if you decide to not play this game. It is basically that good, and I am very sad that they won't be making a sequel

[h1] Even 10 Years Later Alan Wake Still Holds Up [/h1]
This is my first time playing Alan Wake and I don't usually like horror games, yet I still really liked this game!
I like the whole idea with the light and the darkness, and it's pulled off very well. It made me enjoy the Combat more, it was simple but enjoyable. The Story is really good, fun to even just casually follow along. I like the Transitions from episode to episode. For 2010/12, the Graphics and Presentation are really good. I think it'd be cool to remaster but it's not needed, this game looks great. The Main Story took me about 9 hours. The DLCs are worth playing and are fun. They took me a little over an hour each and one helps clear up the story. I also see possible replayability with Achievements and Collectables I didn't get.

Overall
This just seems like one of those classics everyone just should play at one point. It's just simply fun and good. Are you a fan of Third Person Shooters, Good Stories, Horror, Adventure or Thriller Games? If yes to any of that, get this game.

Loved it, even tho fighting is repetetive and annyoing after the first few hours. This game is always tense, the atmosphere is thicc af and damn son they build in some nasty jump scares. I died after one of these nasty ones and knew it would come ....still made me flinch ffs haha.

Story is realy good overall. Characters are written well and the fact that you narrate your own story is very unique. Gave the whole author theme a huge immersion boost.

I hope they will work on Alan Wake 2 in the future...now that it shares the same universe with Control....

It’s not that Alan Wake is a bad game, not entirely. It’s the question, “would you recommend Alan Wake?” and the answer for me, personally, is no.

There’s a really cool story going on that kind of takes a turn at some point around halfway through and twists around in some unexpected ways. There is a lot of environmental lore to find, and if you’re patient, you can watch some TV shows and listen in on some radio shows that help fill out the story. The environments look great and for a bit of an older game, it still looks pretty good, other than maybe the character faces. The game controls well.

After all of that, you’re left with the gameplay, which is basically an evil goth lumberjack simulator. Evil lumberjacks chase you and try to kill you and you use a flashlight to weaken them before killing them. Sometimes bulldozers or furnaces or other inanimate objects try to kill you, and you use flashlights to make them not evil. Trees fall over and you explore mountain terrain, occasionally by car, mostly by foot, looking for street lamps on trails and dropping flares and flashbangs conveniently left by hikers. The FBI chases you at some point, cars do flips, evil goth lumberjacks state things while chasing after you and hitting you with their evil darkness axes, or whatever it is they’re hitting you with. Clubs?

I honestly did enjoy the story and I felt the obvious Max Payne influences. I really wanted to enjoy this game more than I did, but there was a reason it sat in my backlog for something like six years before I finally mustered up the courage to limp through it. It starts off pretty strong but after the fifteenth flashlight-based encounter and losing all of my items between levels for no observable reason (where did I put 20 packs of batteries? Just because I’m concussed doesn’t mean I’d put 20 packs of batteries down somewhere) the story wasn’t quite worth it.

I make it sound worse than it is. This is probably a cult classic for a reason.

The gameplay is a bit clunky, but this holds up as an exhilarating mystery thriller that compels you to push forward to figure out what happened to your wife, Alice. There are dark forces at work. All you need in darkness is to fight with light.

+ Graphics hold up after so many years
+ Intriguing story
+ Immersive
+ Runs smoothly
- Repetitive, clunky combat
- Checkpoint system isn't great, but it isn't terrible

This game will take about 12-16 hours to complete depending on your pacing.

For fans of Action/Adventure, Horror/Mystery, Control (Remedy), and Twin Peaks.

Alan Wake is pretty great. The setting and general vibe of the town, Bright Falls, is very similar to Twin Peaks and there are several references to the show.
It has lite-horror elements: it manages to be creepy, but not outright scary.

The story is very interesting and it's presented as a TV show, so the various chapters have an intro with the recap of what previously happened and a preview of what's to come in the following episode.
The soundtrack is great! I still listen to Children of the Elder God, War and The Poet and the Muse.
Unfortunately the videos are the same as the ones on the Xbox, so they're not high quality.

The 2 extra episodes (they were sold as DLC on the XBox) are great and a direct continuation of the story.

Now the not so great part: the combat. It's very simple. You just point the light at the enemies / moving objects and then shoot once their shadow amor disappears. And this formula never changes. The DLCs at leat try some different things, so they feel better paced.
Also, Alan is a writer that apparently never even approached a gym, so he'll run for like 10 seconds and then he'll just shuffle along like an old injured man.

Still, I feel that the strenghts of the game outshine the combat encounters and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a game with a good story and an interesting place to explore.

Alan Wake is not a flawless game. The combat system is entertaining at first but its magic is killed by unnecessary and numerous action segments. Still the game is a very atmospheric adventure of a very rare kind.

Alan Wake is an episodic game with a great story and atmosphere but predictable plot.

The reason that I do not recommend this game is because of the repetitive gameplay. Especially in the last episode, the gameplay of light up and shoot becomes tedious. By the time you are certain how the story will resolve, then you still have to fight through hordes of enemies.

I completed the game feeling disappointed and annoyed.

Alan Wake is Twin Peaks + Wayward Pines meets Stephen King--and I loved it. As a writer, I appreciated the meta commentary about creativity and creation: I think every artist feels like they create to deliver themselves from darkness (internal and external), and I've never encountered a creative work that has captured that battle as vividly and convincingly as this game. The writing is incredible from the plot, character, setting, and thematic perspectives. The subtext is both literal and figurative at the same time, and that takes a real master to pull off. For fans of Stephen King, there are Easter eggs galore--that even by their inclusion reinforce the metaphor of artist as light bringer, and the concept that artists are a part of an ecosystem of past and future works.

Normally I'm not a fan of the over-the-shoulder POV in a game that involves having to aim, but these controls were really smooth. I also appreciated that all of the enemies were technically killable--I'm not one of those people that likes to run away from things forever, and I like my safe spaces to actually be *safe* in horror games, and that was true here. I dig findables, and this game has a ton of them. I'm a completionist who will comb every inch of every map looking for goodies, and those tendencies were rewarded handsomely with more story and thematic context.

This game delivers on every single one of its promises and is easily one of the best games I've ever played. If you're looking for a kick-ass, story-driven, thought-provoking RPG that, despite it's age, holds up in the beauty department, this game is for you.

10 years later, still holds up. Gave it a run because I just got Control Ultimate Edition and I wanted to know Alan Wake's story and why he's connected to the Control Storyline. Glad I took the time, such an enriching story and gameplay is so much fun. Definitely take the time if you're at all interested in playing it.

I gave this game many chances and I finally decided to stop playing it. I got close to the ending, but I completely lost interest in it. This is one of the most repetitive games I've ever played in my life. Not only the shooting is repetitive; you'll also fight against the same enemies using the same weapons in the exact same locations (which are mostly woods and cabins) over and over again. It seems to me that the developers relied too much in the story in order to keep the player interested. The story may seem intriguing at first, but it wasn't good enough and the terrible gameplay design overshadows any good story they could've come up with. If you are looking for good survival horror/action games there are other titles that are much more worthy of your time and money.

I was late to this party, Not sure why I kept not wanting to consider this one, but again, like Evil Within, game has an awesome story and enjoyable game play, I was drawn here by Control, and story from that being based off this, so Control on hold Alan Wake for all backstory. Two games now by Remedy that I have and am really liking.

This is one of my favorite games -- I played it back at launch on the Xbox 360 and have been excited to replay it again now on PC. This version of the game runs really well and looks even better than ever. The game itself has an excellent story and cast of characters, and the unique gameplay makes it fun even for someone like me who doesn't usually play shooters. It's just the right amount of spooky and fun. This game was a joy to replay even 10 years after release and I would readily recommend it to anyone, especially all the folks who have played Control recently.

The horror genre isn't typically appealing to me, but the tie-in with Control's DLC was enough to push me into digging Alan Wake out from the backlog, together with its two DLC episodes. All things considered, I enjoyed this - while certainly taking place in creepy settings, the game is more focused on mystery and themes of insanity (particularly with the DLC) than jump-scares, for example.

The gameplay, with light sources as a key combat mechanic, probably justifies a description as 'unique', though Alan's frequent lack of manoeuvrability means that combat can’t really be a highlight. The game also has a definite excess of collectibles, which don’t really suit its style! The story is the star of the show here, and is well-realised – Alan, as a writer, frequently provides a narrative voiceover to events, helping to put things in perspective and explore the direction of his thoughts and motivations as the game progresses, which is typically an effective approach.

I happened to get scared from little thing or the dramatic music on the background and things like that.

Damn, I do not know what to write or how to describe my feelings that I have for this masterpiece. First of all, I played this game years after its release. I fell in love with it. Combat is unbelievably good but it is not that important since what we have here is a lesson for how to write a plot for a game and how to present it. The story and the narration, voice acting and the tension that builds up continually will wrap you and enslave you in the game's atmosphere. I am falling short of words, just play this game and see what you are missing. You can thank me later. 10/10.

I really tried to make it to the end of this game but it is just so goddamn repetitive. Hold the light, then shoot, every single enemy, got a full arsenal? Not for long since they reset you back to nothing constantly, think something interesting is happening in the story? Sorry but Alan is going to narrate it to you as if you were a moron with no eyes.

What the hell is the appeal in this game? Gameplay sucks, story sucks.

Alan Wake | ★★★★★

This is the kind of game that I would endorse to a friend who has no history in campaign games just to hook them to it. Alan Wake is filled with utterly compelling cast of characters, excellent soundtracks and captivating scenery that makes you fall in love with nature. An extraordinary story that lets you experience Déjà vu by forecasting you the event through manuscript before it even happens.

A game that shouldn't be played other than Mouse and Keyboard. I also recommend playing it without HUD to help increase the immersion of the beautiful town of Bright Falls.

A beautifully atmospheric game from the creators of Max Payne, with elements that invoke the style of Twin Peaks and Stephen King. Gameplay can be a tad repetitive but it never overstays its welcome and remains generally tense at times. I generally loved the characters world and stroy of Alan Wake that makes you want to explore and learn more about everything and to top the game off the soundtrack is excellent. A true classic game well worth playing!

Takeaway: the gameplay is very repetitive and serves to drive a somewhat confusing story that never resolves fully. I initially started this game because it is referenced in Control, and I thought this would provide either more of the same experience or enhance my enjoyment of Control. If you are here because of that, this does neither.

The story itself does draw you in and has elements of the writer-centered horror Stephen King is famous for, and perhaps a 15-minutes animated movie would have sufficed for this. Instead, this game consists of six approximately two-hour episodes that consist of a gameplay loop where you go through a forest, shine lights on enemies, and shoot them. The enemies are substantially stronger and scarier than the protagonist and often must be fled from, which calls to mind survival horror-type gameplay, but unlike those games they must all still be defeated using very clunky mechanics seemingly placed to make combat difficult and laborious. This would make more sense if it was to be avoided, but combat generally drives the game, and the result ends up in a no-man's-land between Perfect Dark and Resident Evil. The combat does not become more complex or gain substantively new mechanics beyond those seen after the first episode or so, and by the end of the game it is a nuisance between cutscenes. The cutscenes themselves are unfortunately dated, although the facial animations seem off even for 2010. They do end up telling a fairly compelling story, but in the end it did not end up being worth the laborious gameplay.

Also, they explain the entire story around episode four or five, and you mostly spend the rest of the game doing a bunch of confusing things that do nothing to resolve the story and do everything to set up DLC and the sequel.

I loved this game, and yes i only have half an hour of play time but i owned it before it came to steam finished it 3 times and lost my disc during a move. Some people are saying its boring because you are doing the same thing? Really? Its no different to just running around with a gun shooting people like you do in Max Payne, you just don't get bullet time while using a flashlight. I love a game with a good soundtrack and this definitely has that! I honestly cant remember the story so i guess its time for me to play through again! Then play through american nightmare as i haven't even touched that yet.

This game was a great surprise. I've heard both good and bad things about this game on the Internet, but experiencing it for myself was the best option, and I recommend anyone else to do the same.
This game is all about the atmosphere and mood, and the storytelling. The gameplay mechanics involve following a set path, with some room to explore a little, and dispatching enemies by flashing light on them to weaken them before popping a cap in them. Don't come into this game expecting non-stop run-and-gun action (like its contemporary Max Payne), but expect plenty of tense moments. Save those flares for the moments when things seem hopeless, and run when you can to conserve ammo. I didn't learn to dodge until halfway through the game, but it's worth learning too.
Long story-short (too late!), give this game a try if you appreciate action/adventure games where your main character isn't a badass Doom marine, but can still hold his own against the forces of (literal) Darkness.

[h1]Alan Wake[/h1]

Zitat:

Alan Wake was one of those games I never got to play back in the day because I didn't own a 360. I forgot all about it until I played Control (which I LOVED). There are some easter eggs referring to Alan Wake, it's apparently set in the same universe, so I decided to give it a shot. I honestly didn't know a game could be this immersive after 10 years of release.

[h1]First Impressions[/h1]
Being a Remedy game, I kinda knew what I was about to experience having played Max Payne (1, 2, 3), Quantum Break and Control. An atmospheric, well-written, cinematic story with a mysterious plot coupled with repetitive gameplay that makes you wonder what it all could've been if it'd been more refined. The first thing I noticed is that the graphics still hold up after all this time. Of course, you notice it's a 2012 game, but not the kind that needs a remaster.

I knew from ads and clips I'd seen of the game that a flashlight is an important aspect. But it's literally your only lifeline and it acts as save points as well. To fight your attackers, you need to shine your flashlight until their 'shadowy self' disappears, only to pump them full of lead the second that happens. The flashlight mechanism was cool at the beginning but got repetitive rather quickly.

[h1]Story[/h1]
I'm a sucker for paranormal, weird, Lynchian horror stories like this one. It's clear from the start that Remedy took references from The X-Files, Twin Peaks, The Twilight Zone, Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft. If you're not into these series or authors, then Alan Wake probably isn't your cup of tea. If you are a fan, you're going to love this game. It's divided into 6 episodes, like you're watching your favorite mini-series. Every episode ends with a cliffhanger, cuts to black, shows the title screen and moves on to a recap of the previous one. This isn't original at all, but it definitely keeps you hooked on the story.

Alan Wake is an extremely popular fiction writer whose wife has set him up a quiet 'vacation' in Bright Falls, where he can write his new novel without being bothered. Not knowing any about this, Wake angrily storms out of the cabin to avoid an argument with his wife. Some things happen and she wounds up missing. It's up to him and the weird townfolks to get her back safe and sound.

[h1]What's so good about it?[/h1]
Simply put: the immersion this game provides. At the time of writing, I haven't finished the game yet. But it genuinely feels like a movie experience wrapped up in a game. The plot, the characters, the environment of Bright Falls. It all fits together perfectly. If you reach a point where you find the gameplay too repetitive, which will happen quickly, you could always search for hidden collectibles like coffee thermoses or manuscript pages. I'm not a big fan of collectibles in other games, but here it's fun to look for them. The story is also really engaging if this is your genre. It's also a really fun thing to try and catch all the references Remedy has put in this game.

[h1]Conclusion[/h1]

Zitat:

'Alan Wake' is a game I would recommend to everyone. The story intrigued me, and the attention to detail was amazing. Its massive levels make you feel like you're actually lost in a forest. Combine that feeling with really good lightning (for its time) and stellar animations and you've got yourself a good game. A good game. Not a great one. The gameplay gets repetitive fast and as with every horror game, you've got to look past the clichés. All in all, it's worth your money and your time. Just like every other Remedy game in my opinion.

I bought this game around 4-5 years ago just random thing when Steam Summer Sale happend just because this game price was very cheap at that time after discount. Then just like other game that I bought on Summer Sale it goes buried on my library without knowing I even have it

Move foward to February 2021 I happend to stumble on documentary video about the making of this game on YouTube, then I remembered if I have the game and proceed to installing it.

Then.. WOW.. just WOW.. I regreted for not playing this game ASAP when I bought it, the story and atmosphere are amazing and masterclass !! Yes the graphics are outdated since its released back at 2012, but it doesnt matter for me because the experiene of playing this game are much more important for me. I enjoy the story and the gameplay very much. And even suprised about how long it need to get the game finished, I spend nearly 14 hours finishing the game with my walk around playthrough trying to find every collectible in the game.

Very recommended game from me, even when its on full price the game are still totally worth it !!

Great game. Perhaps not the combat, gets repetitive after a while but its not difficult. The story, atmosphere/world building, acting and presentation are excellent. I love how the game is split into episodes, the narrated manuscript pages, the in game tv shows, it all just adds so much to the experience. It's is a creepy horror/thriller tv show pretending to be a game. 8.5/10

Dated in some aspects especially combat wise but still a pretty good game with a nice story and atmosphere. Originally removed from steam due to expiring music licences but nice to see its return.

Warriors, torchbearers, come redeem our dreams
Shine a light upon this night of otherworldly fiends
Odin's might be your guide, divorce you from the sane
Hammer's way will have its say, rise up in their name

Oh, Memory and Thought
Jet black and clawed

Children of the Elder God
Scourge of light upon the dark

Scratching hag, you can rake your claws and gnash your crooked teeth
You've taken slaves like ocean waves, now feel the ocean seethe
Father Thor, bless this war, between the dark and light
In their songs let their wrongs bring dissolution's night

Oh, Memory and Thought
Jet black and clawed

Children of the Elder God
Scourge of light upon the dark

So this is pretty much Stephen King: The Videogame, you play a troubled writer from Maine who's fictional characters are coming to kill him. The story is a bit hokey here and there but Alan is this funny character, he's a bit of a prat and you like him despite how punchable he is so good accomplishment there.

The gameplay revolves around a rather elegant system where enemies have shadowy black armour circling around them which needs to be removed by shining your flashlight on them, at which point you can shoot them with your gun. You can kill them with just guns but you'll find yourself running out of ammo pretty fast. My only gripe about this system really is that Alan's health regenerates in a system where health kits would have been more enjoyable.

Also like 80% of the game is set outdoors in the woods, so you better really enjoy seeing trees and rocks. I kept waiting to find some big fun structure that would take hours to explore like a Great Northern sort of location since they stole from Twin Peaks so much, or maybe a sawmill like in Deadly Premonition. If you want to get a Silent Hill urbex feel from this game you'll be disappointed.

The actual game's ending is very bad, level 5 is hugely disappointing because you spend most of it being babied by an overpowered AI companion and level 6's final boss is staggeringly bad, but the DLC episodes 1 and 2 provide a much more satisfying set of final challenges so it's forgivable. Do play the DLC, they crammed countless exceptional ideas into it that really ought to have been in the main game.

So if you like survival horror and you're jonesing for a fix in this post-Team Silent world, this definitely isn't a bad option. It's the rare occasion of a popular, big budget game that isn't unbearably fucking retarded, so you get all the meat and potatoes with the interesting concept, making for a substantial experience. I was very satisfied by the end of it and looking forward to the sequel.

If you're reading this now, 10 years after this game's release, wondering whether it's worth a try - then the answer is yes.

After finishing Control, I was really keen to know about the Bright Falls Altered World Event in that game - and Alan Wake, being part of the same connected universe, is the chronicle of that.

Storyline wise, its sublime. Told in a episodic style, imagine something somewhere between 70% of Stephen King's mythos, Twin Peaks, X-Files and one of the better SCP Foundation entries and you have this. Taking place during a holiday to cure his writer's block, Alan and his wife Alice take a break up in the Pacific Northwest, in a quaint little town where nothing is as it seems. Game on. I won't go into any more detail then that because the story is a treat.

Graphically - you're not going to mistake this for a game made last year, but it still looks great. The lighting effects, the presentation, the Darkness, it's all here. Every so often you'll see a blurry texture but for a game as old as this, its very easy on the eyes. Sound is the same - voice acting and music are simply top class. There'll be points, lost in unsettling darkness that the whole presentation comes together to form a very creepy tale.

If there's a downside - realistically, while the Fight With Light mechanic (shine light on opponent, wait until shadow burns off, gun down/explode) works really well and doesn't really get old, the rest of combat is a chore. This divides into two aspects - Alan and his weapons.

Alan is allegedly a normal writer in his mid-30s, but in what I'm presuming is an attempt to drive this home by the devs, he handles like 90-year-old with arthritis. I'm not kidding, *everything* this guy does feels slower or less effective then you'd otherwise expect. Sprinting? he burns out after a 3 seconds. Jumps are pathetic. Reloading and switching guns can lead to nearly breaking your keys on your keyboard as the guy somehow manages to turn the most basic actions into a saga - which can be frustrating when you're surrounded by murderous possessed lunatics.

The second aspect is the guns, which are about as bland as it gets. Bright Falls appears to be the only place in the USA where semi-automatics aren't a thing. When the highlight of your arsenal is a pump-action shotgun, you know you're not exactly in for satisfying combat.

Overall though, its not enough for it to be a problem. The base version of the game on Steam comes with both the DLC episodes which collectively form an epilogue, and they're as worth a play as the rest of the story.

If you like horror, get this. If you like a great story, get this. If you're a fan of Control - then I'd still recommend it, even if the combat isn't a patch on that game, as its great to see the crossover.

To be honest. I almost hated this game. I like to believe that i'm a pretty 'well-rounded gamer' in the sense I find enjoyment in almost anything except sport games. From Counter-Strike to Dark Souls to Civilisation and Risk of Rain... i adore gaming in all their forms. But Alan Wake was, to me, the most repetitive, pretentious, basic game i've ever played.

Gameplay - The combat starts off as a neat concept. Shine lights on enemies to weaken them before shooting them. However within the first 5min of this happening you realise that it isnt going to change at all... this is the entire game. Mobs of 3-6 enemies who you deal with, walk a short distance, rinse and repeat. The game almost shoe-horned these terrible combat sequences into the game and it really makes the game feel tedious. You also take an long time to get another weapon (the shotgun) which helps make the combat a bit more fun/quicker. But even then its horrible borderline monotonous at best. What makes this worst is the fact that the game is going for a 'thiller-esqe' style, it would have been great to make limited strong enemies with a minimal amount of ammo (which is true but ammo is everywhere.. you just cant carry much), its as if it started off being something like that but someone said that gamers wont like it. A missed opportunity i believe. Oh and there is by far the worst driving sequence ever in any game that is so unexpected and unneeded its hilarious. The fact this gameplay comes from the people behind Max Payne is simply shocking.

Story- The story sounds like something interesting, and for a lot of people it's received some praise. Personally I found it a little too much, it seemed to be very convenient and that it really was pushing itself to be full of twists or unexpected. When it was really kinda bland and filled with forgettable characters. This extends massively onto the main characters, Alan really isnt that likeable, his lines/acting/scenes are kinda awkward and generally mixed with some awkward mouth syncing you (or I) learn to quicker lose interest in the story and anyone involved.

If there is one redeeming factor about this game is the graphics, in particular how they are used to produce accentuate the atmosphere. The environments and woodlands looks beautiful, however like many things in this game, they are almost overused and a change of scenery would have been very welcomed.

1. Great story.
2. Fantastic graphics that hold up very well.
3. Innovative gameplay and battle mechanics.
4. Beautiful soundtrack.

Overall a great game. I would say it is much more of a thriller game than a horror game.

A good mystical story about a writer who just wanted to relax. Of course, technically, the game released in 2010 is outdated, but it's still nice to play.

Alan Wake is a great 3rd-person horror game. Story is excellent, like reading a book and watching a movie, keeps you addicted to it. Using flashlight to weaken enemies and a few weapons to shoot them, combat is nice but ammo is scarce, lots of exploration and meeting several persons of interest. Had a couple of jump scares but I don't normally play horror, in fact most people don't even consider this as a horror game.

It also made me a fan of the band 'Poets of the Fall' who make use of their songs in it, and fits perfectly!

Played the game very late but graphics are still good, no crashes, and not an extremely difficult game to complete.

Weapons suck, always running out of ammo, need to shoot 6-10 ammo just to killed one enemy down, main character get tired so easily, can't even outrun the enemy, have to died many times even playing on easy mode.
