Alan Wake II

I played the first Alan Wake a few months ago when it was free on playstation Plus, and I really liked it. I don't really care for horror games, but I loved it due to the great storytelling.

Alan Wake II is different than Alan Wake I, and for me in a positive way. There are less battles in Alan Wake II; this game is even more focused on the story and puzzles. It being more story driven instead of combat doesn't take anything away from the gaming experience though. They used very refreshing gaming tactics to reveal the story.

The game looks stunning, and without spoiling too much, there are some very unexpectedly fun additions to the game that made me run upstairs to tell my boyfriend wtf just happened because it was just to unexpected for a game.

I recommend playing Alan Wake I first, or watching a decent recap of Alan Wake I to get a sense of the story, before playing Alan Wake II.

I'm sort of in the middle of the game i have to admit it alan wake was allways something to me when it was released back to 2010 till 2023 and it's sequel .

Alan Wake II has an atmospheric and haunting story , environment and characters are well made even side characters , pitch and complexity of the story reminds me of david lynch's movies . I've never exprienced such as this. This is a game and in the same time it is NOT ! It is a tv show that you are part of it ! Sam lake the creator of alan wake continue his work and it was really good that he was also in the game ! His voice is so powerfull and also alex casey is dependable character that even could have his stand-alone spin-off .

Alan Wake II is a really great title and i'm happy that i'm expriencing it ...

I haven't finished the game yet, but until now the game has been amazing. It curtainly is not sandbox-game like GTA and RDR2, and I think it's part of it's strength. I don't want to spoil anything for players, so I don't want to reveal too much about the plot.

I want to give props for all team but especially for actor Ilkka Villi, I think he has made incredible job in this game. His confusion during the studio-scene made me too confused as hell. Only thing that bothers me that they have changed his voice (seeing his work in Sorjonen etc, it just feels weird). If you havent seen his work before you wouldn't even notice this.

All in all, this game is something unusual and special. Although I'm definitely seeing this through white-and-blue-glasses (I'm finnish), I think this is the most absorbing game I have ever played. You just want to continue the story to find out more.

Congrats to makers, and I hope other players find it as great as I have found!

I'm blown away. I loved the whole concept of Alan Wake back in 2010. I even bought an XBox just to be able to play it when it got relased. I never dreamed of a sequel, but when Alan appeared in Control, I started to have hope again. Another 4 years later and here we are. The care that went into this game shows, finally we see Bright Falls the way it was always meant to be. We get a lot to explore and we meet some familiar faces along the way, which I won't spoiler here, but as my title says, this is like the return to Twin Peaks, luckily we only had to wait 13 years instead of 30. The actors, the score, the atmosphere, everything is great. I'm not finished yet, but it's already a 10 for me to be able to revisit this world and those characters in this golden age of video games.

Alan Wake 2 is a stunning sequel that surpassed my expectations. I was blown away by the captivating story, the immersive gameplay, and the brilliant performances of the actors. The writers did a fantastic job of creating a thrilling and mysterious plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. The game is full of twists and turns, references to pop culture, and nods to the original Alan Wake. The actors, especially Ilkka Villi and Matthew Porretta, who voice Alan Wake and his alter ego Mr. Scratch, respectively, delivered their lines with emotion and intensity. They made me feel like I was part of the story, not just a spectator. The game also has stunning graphics, sound effects, and music that enhance the atmosphere and mood of the game. Alan Wake 2 is a masterpiece that deserves all the praise and recognition it can get. It is one of the best games I have ever played and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves action, adventure, and horror genres.
